Traveling in Mexico. Need inexpensive phone plan to call U.S.A. by rubytue60
My U.S. A. phone carrier (Assurance wireless) does not provide out-of-country service. I will need to purchase a new plan while I am traveling in Mexico. Should I buy a limited minutes phone? Use the phone I have and change SIM card? Buy ...
