Hello

My daughter is travelling across Mexico and I would like to call her from time to time. I tried to call her with AT&T and Sprint but the rates are too high.

Can someone help me with a calling advice?

Thank you!

By far the best deal out there is at www.callingforcheap.com. THe rates are the best to mexico. I think as low as 3 cents a minute, No connection fee, No maintanence fee, No commitment, Always nearest minute rounding and you can manage your account right on line. Not to mention that you don't have to dial a pin (you just set your account up to recognize your primary or secondary telephones if you like) and they have speed dialing. They give you a bunch of minutes on sign up and they really have the lowest rates I have ever seen. YOu can use a local access number or dial their 800 number from anywhere. Check them out. www.callingforcheap.com It really beats running down to the convienence store for cards that only give you half the time they say they will because of the hidden fees.

try the website www.telebayplans.com

They have got great deals on cellphones and plans.

Hope this helps !

How do i make a call from the US to Mexico City???

52 is the international calling code for Mexico.
(958) is the area code for Huatulco, Puerto Angel, and Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca.
(314) is the area code for Manzanillo, Colima.
(315) is the area code for Barra de Navidad and Melaque, Jalisco.


In the past, a local telephone number consisted of a city code of 1, 2, or 3 digits followed by a 4-digit number that might be written like 3 41 81. In 2001, sweeping changes were made to make all local numbers 7-digits, with the city code being the first 3-digits. All area codes are now 3-digits, just like in the U.S. This now applies in the areas that I cover on this web site. For example in Barra de Navidad, the new area code is (315) but local calls are made by dialing only the seven digits that follow. On the coast of Oaxaca, the area code is (958) and local numbers are also seven digits.

The Telmex web site has an area code directory.
