Map of Telcel coverage in Baja?
I looked, but I couldn't find one.
Does anyone know of one?
No worries

sorry for the 'jack.
i use att and every town with a red light has cell coverage. if you need to use the phone a lot telcel might be better. if you are just checking in
every other day for a minute (+/- .90/minute) i'd use att, unless you have a different carrier. att works the best in baja. they use the telcel
network.

That map is out of touch
Dennis, at least you found a map,
still looking for one that shows real coverage.
For instance, I get coverage in El Rosario, GNegro, Asuncion, Abreojos, etc, and they all show zip on the map.
Also, I knew I would be out of the US all of March, in the Middle East and also in Baja, so I trudged down to ATT, paid $25 and got 49 cents a minute
coverage in Baja (It was $1.99 a minute in Israel so I did not make many calls)
Also got enough BBerry units to do all my email for the whole month, but did not download any other info.

Telcel Coverage
Talked to hubby in Merida this morning. In the past, provided you have sufficient credit, the U.S., Mexico City D.F., London, Switzerland, Germany
and Cuba are no problem.
Sorry, no experience with rural southern Baja; that might be more problematic.
Telcel has an English language customer service feature; *111 and then press #2 from the menu options.
