I pay TelCel 200 pesos a month (about 15CAD) for the Sin Frontera plan that, in theory, claims I can use it in Canada and the US for up to 30 days to talk, text, and surf as though I was in Mexico. I was in Canada and the US for longer than that last year, so I only used my Sin Frontera plan when I really needed to, trying to rely on other people’s phones, internet connections, and public WiFi.<\/p>\n
This last trip was just for a week, so I knew it would be a good one to really test the plan.<\/p>\n
The short of it is that I had NO problems using my Sin Frontera plan in Canada to make calls, send texts, and access the internet. Incredible!<\/p>\n
I had the best connection on Rogers, surprisingly enough. Bell and Telus were both a bit moody, especially in Saskatchewan, where they run on SaskTel’s network.<\/p>\n
I never managed to connect to SaskTel at all, so they clearly are not part of a roaming agreement with TelCel. It was a bit frustrating to not have service sometimes when my friends on SaskTel were getting good service, but I was really grateful for what I did have. I mean, it would have cost me literally hundreds of dollars to buy for a week a Canadian SIM card and pay for all the services I get through my 200-peso a month plan in\u00a0Mexico. So the odd bit of downtime was really not worth complaining about!<\/p>\n
Thank you so, so much TelCel for helping me keep one foot in the 21st century this past week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
