Before we left to come to Mexico, after doing some research about the best US cell carrier for Mexico, we decided the winner was easily T-Mobile. We were told that T-Mobile would terminate the agreement if we spent a lot of time in Mexico, but we knew that we should have at least three months to use their services.

For our T-Mobile service, we were paying $50 USD per line which included unlimited talk, text, and data, and it could be used anywhere in Mexico. However, data speeds would be slowed down after hitting 5GB.

We were very happy with our T-Mobile cell coverage here in Mexico, in fact, we usually had better service than at our condo in the middle of Phoenix. However, we just got a message saying that our service will be shut off in a month (a little under 5 months after crossing the border.)

In this video, we take you with us as we get a new cell phone plan in Mexico.
