Nope... digital works great. Make sure you have the international dialing feature on your account before you leave.

i see you've got an lg6100 which is tri-mode. I'm thinking of getting the 7000 which is all digital and i'm concerned it won't work down there.

When I was down there I had just an LG VX6000 with me which is all digital.

jayc - I have Alltel as a carrier. How do I get/make sure I have international dialing on my account? I am currently on the Total Freedom plan.

Thanks,

Call 611. Ask.

Andy · 12-28-2004, 5:58 PM

I would call Customer Service. Alltel might already have international calling allowed anyway, but call 611 to make sure. I don't even know whether Alltel supports international roaming/dialing(I guess that shows how much I research Alltel, huh?

)

Does anyone know VZW's rates from Cancun? I believe it is 69 cents roaming plus 20 cents Long Distance, anyone know if this is the case? Also, anybody familiar with roaming rates in Dominican Republic? Thanks.

www.iusacell.com for Mexico's CDMA carrier. Iusacell does a great job in the metro hubs of Mexico, and I wouldn't see why Cancun would be any different.

Little late...but I was charged 1.30 for Puerto Vallarta. Good luck getting CS to give you a definite answer on charges. Some said 99 cents, some said 1.30. I got charged the 1.30 of course! Cingular's 79 cents is quite nice (at least it's on the website!).
