Cell Phone

Started March 12, 2010 · 74,119 views · 6 posts
Cell phones are very cheap to purchase in Puerto Vallarta, these phones can be reactivated each year. I have bought mine at Telcel outlets with your first purchase they usually give you a bonus of xxx peso to start the phone off. The cost of the phone is around $25.00 again it can be used each and every time you come to PV, beats trying to find a payphone that works!

Hope this information is helpful, having peace of mind is well worth the price!

I operate my friendships and biz in PV with a Nokia from WalMart purchased for $30 back about 4 years ago [100 free minutes]. All I need do is add minutes. Now any OXXO will do it for you for any amount you choose. The more minutes you buy the less it costs per. Have the cashier get into the computer and add your minutes. About a minute later a beep messages that you have added so many minutes. But please be careful as they do expire so keep an eye on how many are left if you will not be back in MX using it within 90 days. You could stand to lose tons of minutes if you are not using them while in PV or elsewhere or overbuying. I find them extremely practical and useful. Call a cell phone dialing first with 322 for PV, not just the last 7 numbers.

Cell phones are very important now.I own one too.

People,partcularly young adults are abusing the uses of a cell phone.It is up to you whether you make it a boon or a bane.
I had problems setting up our account - same issue - being from Canada. I called them and they were very helpful in setting us up our account over the phone. Now I am able to just go on-line and add the minutes. So far so good - the truth will be told when we actually arrive back in PV and see if the phone still works!
