Special Calling Plan in Mexico?

For your trip to Mexico did you add an international calling plan? Was it necessary?

I am hoping for Wifi ... but want to be prepared.

Thanks!

We have AT&T and I added a $30 plan for $.38 a minute for 100 minutes and unlimited talk and text to avoid roaming (good for 1 month). Otherwise roaming was $1 a minute. Also make sure you let your bank know or they will not let you use your debit or credit cards.

I also bought a plan through my cell company. good luck! Linda

There was wi-fi at the hospital and hotel and I used apps like Skpe and Whatsapp to keep in touch, rather than calling.

Sprint has service in Mexico. Texts and calls are free. Data is charged. You have to turn it on.

Hospitals, hotels and restaurants all have wifi.

I'm with tmobile and they offer North American calling at no extra charge. 

The hospital I was in for the duration of my stay (Almater in Mexicali) also had excellent wifi so I was covered either way.
