Cell Phone Service
Does anyone have any actual experience with Cingular's coverage for its North America plan, in the Buena Vista/Los Barriles area? The coverage map on
its website is not clear about that area.
Thanks. Bill Barbour

Cingular uses Telcel in Mexico and I have never had trouble getting service in almost any town with Cell Service. La Paz, Loreto, Cabo, and offshore
almost the entire way from San Diego to Cab0 and around to La Paz.

I use Cingular North American Plan. It works well for me in Loreto and everywhere TellCell has coverage.

Just got back from Los Barriles. Cingular worked there and every major town on the way down. You have to call and get set up for international
roaming, its .79/minute

Frank: you need to get the North America Plan. No .79/minute roaming charge.

I use Cingular north american plan. On my first bill I had roaming charges in Rosarito, I called and they removed them. Since then, no roaming charges
in Loreto or Northen Baja.

On a yacht from Los Angeles to La Paz (via Cabo) In the air over Hermosillo to call Prescott flite service and update my eta, Loreto, La Paz, San
Carlos, Guymas, Turtle Bay & lets see.... offshore East side of Cedros Island, offshore Todas Santos, probably missed a few, but never had any
trouble other than the Cedros Call was a little weak. Worst reception, Sunroad Marina, San Diego.
No roaming charges.

Sorry about posting as anonymous cant figure this computer out!
I called cingular today and the customer service lady knew nothing about Mexico in a North America plan .. spent 30 minutes on hold to get nowhere.
Durango is it regular Cingular or something speicial? Also can you make calls to mexico while in mexico too or just to and from usa?
thanks a mil for reply.

You need to sign up for the North America Plan and be sure they "activate International Calling". this will almost guarantee you can call OUT of MX
but maybe not into MX. If you have a problem callling into MX you need to call support (they have a toll free number but I don't have it available
right now) get the number from Cingular BEFORE you leave the states. Then, when in MX, call the support number FROM ANOTHER PHONE, NOT YOUR CELL
PHONE. They will trouble shoot it with TelCel and get if fixed pretty quickly. Once fixed it seems to stay fixed.
