All calls on Telcel prepaid are the same price, whether they're to another Telcel, another cell, a fixed line in Mexico, or a fixed line in the US or
Canada. The base rate is $3.98 m.n. per minute. If you recharge $50 m.n. every 30 days, your per-minute cost drops to $2.98 m.n. With $150 m.n.
recharge in 30 days, it's $1.98 m.n. per minute, and with $200 m.n. recharge every 30 days, it is $0.98 m.n. per minute.
You get three (Mexican only) numbers to call for free, regardless of level.
To recap in USD:
Base per-minute is $0.30 dlls.
Recharge $3.79 dlls., rate is $0.23 dlls.
Recharge $11.36 dlls., rate is $0.15 dlls.
Recharge $15.15 dlls., rate is $0.08 dlls.

This sounds great! Wonder if my unlocked (formerly At&t) iphone can just use the Telcel sim and take advantage of this deal.

I just got a regular ATT GoPhone off the shelf at Target and it worked great everywhere down in Baja from the border to Loreto. Obviously it didn't
work way out on the road, away from town. But worked pretty good overall.
Paid approx .25 for texts or per minute of talk.

Be careful of the SIM card size. iPhones take different size SIMs depending on model, two of which are smaller than a regular SIM. iPhone 3 and 3GS
takes a regular SIM, iPhone 4 and 4S takes a micro-SIM, and iPhone 5, 5C and 5S take a nano-SIM, which is so small my meaty man hands can't do it.
You should be able to go to a Telcel company store and get a nano-SIM with a pre-pay plan on it, but it may take some convincing and also some time...
they used to have to call Mexico City for authorization, don't know if that's still true. Bring a paper clip or a straightpin, you'll need it to eject
the SIM tray on any of them. The ejector hole is on the right side on 4 and 5, top edge on 3.
