I think it depends upon where you call from. We see advertisements in the paper near Guadalajara suggesting that call back services cost between 16 and 23 cents per minutes. 16 for 800 #s and 23 for normal calls. I pay closer to 18 and 25 cents.

I sure hope someone out there knows an even better way to connect.

Like Rolly, I also use Alliance. However, I thought their rates were 25 cents a minute. Perhaps their rates have gone down. I will have to check my phone bill with them.

There is also another service that I use called United World Telecom. They charge 24 cents a minute to call the States (except for 800 numbers, which they charge 25 cents a minute for). Their website address is www.uwtcallback.com.

Can these callback services be used from public pay phones in Mexico or do you have to have a private phone/number that you provide the callback co?

for the call receiver, is to call collect via payphone. The call will be processed by ZPDI, handed off to MCI, and charged to your LOCAL phone account as communication services at right around 8 bucks a minute. I paid $108 for a phone call, ONCE ! ooch, ouch.
