Mexico and SIMple Calling [single US number SIM only]

[PhotoJim]

AT&T doesn't include free calling to Canada - there is a toll charge (35 cents?) atop the normal per-minute rate.

Otherwise, I agree - AT&T is the best SIM to use in Mexico unless native Mexican prepaid calling is cheaper.

Did that change recently? In March the AT&T Go Phone (prepaid) was reported as costing the same to call Canada (from Mexico) as calling the US:

It certainly wasn't toll-free to Canada last February when I was in San Diego. I didn't try it when I was in Rapid City, SD in September.

I'll be in Buffalo, NY at the end of the month; I can try it then and see what happens.

That's where the confusion is. We're discussing roaming in MEXICO (not making calls from the US). In Mexico (only) the AT&T prepaid GoPhone costs the same to call the Canada as to call the US.

(AT&T does show a 19c surcharge to call Canada from within the US).
