I travel to rocking point with my kids quite often, I worry about the 60 mile stretch from the border to town without a working phone.
I have been told to by un unlocked gsm phone her in the states and I can take it down and purchase a sim card from telcel and I will have a working phone. Does anyone know if this is correct, I was also told the band is 1900 there. my current carrier is sprint and even though they say they have coverage we have not been able to get it to work any help would be great
