If you are using AT&T you should be able to roaming automatically. You can also get roaming at a discount through a Mexican plan that is offered through AT&T. In Mexico Telcel works well with AT&T in fact you can keep you own number from the US. I believe T-Mobile may work down there since most carriers in Mexico are on the same GSM system.

if you have a spare unlocked triband phone I suggest you bring it along and purchase a prepaid Tel-Cel/movie star sim when you arrive. Even with a mexican plan through ATT you have the potential to get an arm and a leg chopped off with roaming charges, depending on how you use your phone. I suggest bring it along, dont answer just use it as a pager and use the prepaid mexican sim to make calls.
This helps as all charges will be prepaid and shouldn't have the ability to surprise you.
Hope this helps.

If you are a Verizon Wireless user or a CDMA user then you would be automaticly roaming on IUSACell. They use CDMA. Verizon Wireless help with their inferstructure. If your phone is tri mode (digital 850 1900 and analog) then your phone should see IUSACell first. If IUSACell has no coverage or they don't have a market in that area then you would roam on the next Carrier most likely TelCell which uses TDMA/GSM/Analog. If your phone has analog it will roam on their network. hope this helps
