Calling cards!

Also in Mexico you can get a Movistar or whatever phone for $40 or so and just fill it with another $40 of minutes.

Where did you play down there?

You can bring your cell phone, but don't use it to make phone calls unless it is really necessary. I always bring mine with me when traveling - I'm with Fido as well - and if I need to communicate with someone or vice-versa, I use the TEXT MESSAGE feature.

works like a charm ...

text message: "meet u @ d corner of bla bla bla" = CND 0.20
Phone Call: "what'up - meet you at the corner of bla bla bla" = CND 20.00

Use the text message feature boys and girls ... or, if you are related to Paris Hilton, you should have a Iphone by now :-)

Well the rate from Fido in Mexico is 3.50 a minute so after 5 hours you're already passed a 1000$. And the lesson here is to not bring a cell on vacation, you're supposed to be leaving everything from home and just relaxing.

WTF man? We are talking about around 285 text messages per day? or 11 per hour?

You should never leave your house with your cell phone buddy :-)

this is ridiculous. jesteraver, you think you're king shit of mobiles or what? I saw you once standing all by yourself on the side of the street waiting for the red light to turn green. if that's not a pussy I don't know what is. now to the point: it is not possible for someone of your caliber to achieve a 800$ cell phone bill unless you're someone important. I came close to 600$ once and I know a lot of hot people. I want to see your bill or else I'm gonna have to call you a liar and a half.

spiffy out.

What I usually do is just sign up for a long distance plan before I go away....its like an extra $10-20 (depending on the plan), and it saves you A LOT! Then you just cancel the LD plan the next month.

I did it online before I went to LA..but it didnt seem to work (did it online) and now I got screwed


Also, an important thing to remember is that new feature activations coincide with your billing cycle date - so - if it's the first of every month:

Feb 1 - Bill Cycle Starts
Feb 14 - Activate LD Plan (say 200 LD minutes)
Feb 15-22 - Go to LA for a week and use up 150 minutes LD
Feb 28 - Bill Cycle Ends

Only 100 out of the 200 LD minutes are eligible for use with your LD plan since the feature was only active for 50% of the billing cycle in which you incurred those minutes.

Rogers was like this the past few years - I doubt it's changed.

Louis, I was told that lately they were having trouble especially in Mexico. People out there are stealing the lines of the cell phones. I'm not too sure how they do it but it seems that when you do a phone call, they intercept the frequencies and then they could do calls on your cellphone account.

I went to mexico city last week for business issue and I didn't bring my cellphone out there, I just paid a few pesos in the phone booths.

So maybe you are a victim of cellphone hijacking, you should maybe tell your cellphone company.


Posted by Hajduk on Feb-27-2007 21:50:

That is insane....

Now I don't feel as bad about my 300$ phonebill lol..

Posted by FunKenLouis on Feb-28-2007 00:15:

the funniest shit ever...

when youre away... if you get a call and someone leaves you a message on your voicemail, they charge you for the time

so if i didnt answer fuckin 200 calls, and people left couple messages or just got to the voicemail but hung up... i fuckin pay 3.50 per call

WTF
