I had full 3G service most of the time in Mexico. If you do not yet have a TELCEL Phone or TELCEL SIM card you need to go to an official TELCEL Centro to get one. The little tiendas selling phones everywhere cannot help you. Here is the list of all the official centros, pick your state in Mexico and it will give you a list. You cannot get a new phone without going to the legit centro as apparently they have to run your passport nowadays (though it didnt really seem like they did much with mine) Personally I had an on ATT that was using in the states. I found an unlock code for sale on ebay for about $7. ![]() Just google “Unlock code + Yourphonename” They emailed me an unlock code to enter once I received my TELCEL SIM and put it in the phone. Go to the Official Centro and speak with the front desk clerk. Tell them you want to buy an Amigo (Pre-paid) SIM. They will give you a ticket and send you to another line. *DO NOT WAIT IN THE MAINLINE WITHOUT A TICKET* Ask me how I wasted 45 minutes of my day Once your ticket is called, tell the clerk you would like to purchase a Prepaid AMIGO SIM card. Most of the staff were confused at first since I had a U.S. ATT phone but I assured them that it would be OK, I just needed the SIM. Note: All this was taking place in my horrible spanish. Give the clerk your passport and she will fill out some paperwork and print out a receipt. Take the reciept to the cashier counter and pay $150 pesos (the SIM includes $50 pesos of airtime). Take your new paperwork with proof of payment back to your original clerk. The clerk will run some more paperwork, retrieve a SIM, and write your number down for you. Take the new TELCEL SIM and put it into your phone. Once your phone turns on it should say something like “CARRIER LOCK” and request your unlock code. Enter your code and proceed. My phone hooked up instantly the the TELCEL 3G network. Obviously if you purchased an “Amigo Kit” which includes a TELCEL phone or have an already unlocked phone you can skip this unlock step. Ask the Clerk to activate your phone for you. This activation process all takes place in spanish and its better to leave it to the professionals. The clerk will verify your information over the phone and activation is complete. You will get your phone back and you are done! Almost Now since my phone was not an official TELCEL phone I had to manually go into it and setup the APN settings which I was able to track down on the internet. Here they are for your information. Note this is for an Android phone, iPhones and blackberry will be different. You can find more settings for other phones here. INSTRUCTIONS ON ACCESSING ANDROID APN SETTINGS Press Main Select Settings Select Wireless and Networks Select Mobile Networks Select Access point Names Delete all APN’s in this section. Press Menu Press New APN Enter the follow settings one for General Data. The other for MMS TELCEL DATA SETTINGS Name: MX – Telcel Web APN: internet.itelcel.com Proxy: Port: Username: webgprs Password: webgprs2002 Server: MMSC: MMS Proxy: MMS Port: MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0 MCC: MNC: Authentication Type: PAP APN Type: default, supl TELCEL MMS SETTINGS Name: MX – Telcel MMS APN: Proxy: Port: Username: Password: Server: MMSC: MMS Proxy: MMS Port: MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0 MCC: MNC: Authentication Type: PAP APN Type: mms Now that that is out of the way I was able to get the phone on the internet and was checking my emails and surfing natively on TELCEL 3G. The kicker is the plan was currently in “On-demand” data mode which absolutely rapes your phone. I think it is something like $30 pesos per meg which is nonsense. You can change your data plan to a prixfixe model where you pay per hour, day, week, month etc by texting the phone number 5050 with which plan you want• ALTO1H (1 hour – 100mb) $12 • ALTO1D (1 day – 150mb) $49 • ALTO2D (2 day – 200mb) $79 • ALTO7D (1gb) $199 • ALTO15D (1.5gb) $299 • ALTO30D (3gb) $499 Note: When your plan expires you automatically roll back to the “OnDemand” model which will quickly burn up your Amigo credit so be wary of when your plan is ending, they send you a text to remind you.
