Telcel Roaming rate in the USA

Can't Post | Private Reply

I can't find anything on the Telcel site to answer these rate question. What is the cost, in pesos, for calls to local numbers (USA), SMS messages (USA), and data?

I seem to remember it was something like $26 pesos per minute. But that seems to high. I have to go to the Telcel office Monday, and if no one finds the answer, I will check Monday.

I was wrong. Yes in the past, I was quoted a charge that was in pesos. But not anymore. The lady at the Telcel office went on line like some of us did and could not find the answer to the per minute in the USA roaming charge either. So she phoned someone up at Telcel and was told that the roaming charge for those of us Telcel users on the pay as you go, Amigo Plan, is 90 cents US per minute in the US.

Never had Telcel quoted the price in US currency before. It was always in Mexican pesos.

So assuming that the lady at the Telcel office got the correct information, I say again that in the US my Telcel roaming rate is 90 cents US per minute when phoning a US number while in the US. (I forgot to ask what happens if when in Seattle for example if I phone long distance to say NY if the cost is the same 90 cents/min)

Thanks for the info. I know it is difficult, no, impossible to get some rates out of Telcel. Sounds like she called up Slim, himself, the get the rate.
