Most decent hotels have wifi and of course McDonalds

Telcel or Movistar.
I used to go years ago and mobile networks were rubbish, but I don't know if they have improved recently or not.

Oh yes, theres no 3g available either so he'll have to find wifi or pay extortionate roaming charges!

He will be gutted. He told me this morning that his mum had sorted this and there was WiFi everywhere!!

He says he 'thinks' the hotel has wifi.....oh dear. (He took his tablet and his phone.....)He is going to find it a bit of a change from coming to Spain with me then?.....:smileysad:

And I expect he will be under the impression that the Movistar in Mexico is as good as Spain....

I would hope it's better now - I'm going back 10 years or so, but I still don't believe o2-uk customers can roam on 3g over there.

Good to hear that there is a roaming agreement there as I wasn't sure there was in that part of the world

Problem is...he is on EE... I wasn't bothered about posting that when I asked the question about networks in Mexico though..... Thing is I know him...if he promises he will text when he lands...he will do just that. Always has. So...as he landed 3 hrs ago and no text ...something is wrong somewhere...and no it isn't me panicking...

God no....not going to be a worrywart... He has arrived safely because I had their plane on live updates. Not my problem his Mum chose a destination with a poor network structure...
