cell phones

Can I purchase a pre-paid cell phone in PV?
I am looking to get one to stay in contact with family in Canada. Thanks

Calling card would probably be easier and cheaper.

As Tim said, unless you are down for a longer period of time a phone card would probably be cheaper. Between the cost of the phone and the cost of the minutes to call Canada for a couple of weeks the phone card will be cheaper. I have a Mexico calling plan on my home and my U.S. cell phone and I never use my PV cell phone to call home, there are more inexpensive ways to call.

Hey there Sandy girl.... it is SNOWING AND BLOWING here in iowa again, imagine that one... should be working on schedules and spread sheets for the audit, but poo poo on that idea....

we have considered getting a cell phone as well when we are down there... we have heard that Wal-Mart, Soriana, etc have excellent phones and easy access to adding minutes to your phone... that is was Rachel, Janet, Andres, etc from the resort always told us.... we would only want it to call while in Vallarta - various resturants etc - Dave and Ellen, you and Fred if we are down during the same time, etc....

keep warm

I do consider it but have no idea about how am I going to work with it. Moreover, I prefer the cheapest and easiest calling card on the phone to be able to call downtown as you said. What brand am I going to purchase then? I need advices please.
