3 G. For Ipad

Can't Post | Private Reply

Back to the lake with a new IPad and wish to get 3 G service. i am finding out that it can be trying so can anyone direct me to a store that can do things relatively painlessly.

understand that CelNet and Iuseacel are best bets.

I'm told that Celnet is quite economical in Guadalajara, but I don't think they have coverage lakeside. There is an Iuseacel antenna on the roof of El Toritos in Ajijic, but neither I nor any of my Mexican friends know where an Iuseacel store is locally.

I use WiFi when possible instead of 3G because it's free or very cheap and when not available, I get my 3G feed from Telcel here in Ajijic. When there is no free WiFi, I use Telcel because I have an Iphone and most (all but one) of my friends have Telcel And it's much cheaper using the same carrier as your friends.

The point is that there is 3G here, but it's cheaper to use say Telmex with a WiFi modem for your internet access than 3G.

Good luck
