I just tried calling (from Mexico, with a mexican land line) 001-866-805-9624, and was told the call can NOT be completed as dialed (I am happy it was not an emergency),

You can't dial toll free numbers from MX, call their direct collect line. There are ways to call toll free numbers from MX but regular international charges will apply.

You can't call that number from Mexico. We DO have a toll free number from Mexico. Our website under Contact Us gives our numbers:

US & Canada (Toll Free): 1-800-475-9633
Collect: 480-946-5188
Mexico (Toll Free): 001-800-203-7779

Dude, you don't seem smart enough to go to Mexico.

I've posted this information at least 2 times on this forum.
Here it is again.
I keep this information in my wallet.

First dial 00-1 and if dialing an 800 # you have to replace 800 with 880.

866 replace with 883
877 replace with 882
888 replace with 881

There will be a toll charge, but not much.

All numbers work on SKYPE at 2 cents a minute. If you have a computer which you do if you are a Baja Nomad Member why not use it? 800 numbers are free!

We are in Baja, have a computer and do not use SKYPE.

We have a magicJack.

And the 800 numbers do work also with that system.

But reception is usually clearer if we use our Mexico TelCel phone when in a town - since we live off the grid and have HughesNet satellite Internet.

But we HAVE used the magicJack from the off the grid locations and it works most of the time. Depending on weather systems.

It amazes me that the ignorant, remain ignorant, because they are too stupid
to ask.
