Do cell phones work in Cancun?


Travel Info
We're going on our honeymoon in Cancun, but wondering if our US cell phones will work there. If not, how would we be able to have our family back home contact us in case of an emergency or something. Also, if we get seperated, how would we contact one another?

Travel Tips
Yes your company does offer roaming in Cancun and Cancun offers good coverage for mobiles. However your plan or your telephone might stop you from having a service. Be sure to check with AT&T about your plan and to check if your phone supports the frequencies managed in Mexico.

Alternatively you could have a pre-paid service within mexico. In fact it is definitely cheaper to use a pre-paid service than to paid the international roaming. Most companies will charge over $1 per minute plus long distance charges.

Yes cell phones work in Mexico, but if you don麓t have free roaming, you better have a lot of money. One 30 minute call in Acapulco costed me 100 bucks
My cell did not work in Cancun, it's Verizon. If you are cruising the Carnival cruise line has installed cell towers on the ships and my cell did work on the ship. I needed to go out on the balcony/deck but it worked.
Your phone may work in mexico but its best to check with your provider first. i work for bell in canada and our monthly customers can roam no problem, with our prepaid or pay-as-you-go customers they need to have a credit card on file to roam. so check with your provider and your plan first, they dont mind taking quick calls like that and its better safe then sorry.
Myself, a customer service rep for a cell phon company
mine did not , I have t-mobile

get a calling card, the airport normal sell them at the gate, I know in dallas they do, if it's a funjest vacation
