AT&T GoPhone roaming in Mexico

Mainly I now use Localphone US with a US number, with voip on the phone via wi-fi when I'm at home, failover to divert to Telcel mobile when I'm out of range, 8.8c/min for the divert.

Most outbound non-local calls are when I'm at home so they're the same VOIP account (plus some alternatives), can also use Google Voice callback. I have some other incoming numbers in various countries that forward either to the Localphone US number or the sip address, so they work out the same or 1-2c/min more.

I still have a divert on my eKit US/Can. On the dual sim it's probably different, but on my one-number eKit sim it's now 9c/min to divert to Mexico mobile, with no connect charge.

I've very rarely been outside my home Mexican area code (it's 150 miles long) so domestic roaming isn't a factor for me.

An AT&T Go Phone would be interesting for my non-technical neighbours (mostly Americans). Not something I need while my current setup works.
