Anyone bring their Internet service with them to Mexico?
I have a Sprint Internet card purchased in Florida...the service has been great in USA wherever I traveled. I am told they service Mexico but I have doubts. As I check this out, I'll share. Meantime, anyone in Mexico already using a Sprint card from USA? Any extra charges for using across border lines? Feel free to let me know if you think this is a bad idea (I pay $60 USD a month for it. I travel and have to work online, so it has been worth the cost here in Florida).

I have the same card from SPRINT and have been told b ut have not confirmed directly with SPRINT that data roaming in MX comes at a very high price! I do know that with respect to our SPRINT cell phones, they do not offer a bundle that includes calls in MX and from experience is quite expensive. I believe it was $1.69 per minute when we used it in August. We are on a USA to Mexico calling plan that charges us 5 cents per minute.

Thanks. That is the kind of feedback I was hoping to get. I'll still call and see if I can pinpoint exact fees out of the reps or customer service. I'll post back here what I hear back.
I'm sure I can get a card there just as easy (USACell in Hidalgo and Tlaxcala had one when I left a year ago...never had a chance to check out the service and I'm willing to bet they aren't in all of Mexico).
