Cell phone Service???

Started May 21, 2010 · 20,406 views · 6 posts
I have used my iphone without any problems in reception or service. Just be careful and restrict the use to just calls. I have found that texting and checking mail can use up all of the mb/kb of the international plan rather quickly. You will get a message when you turn on your phone in PV that will tell you how to reset your usage so that you can keep track of it. Hope this helps.

I have the international ATT plan and it works great in PV. I have used it for several years, numerous visits, for texts, calls, media, etc. all over PV and have always had good luck. Just be sure you know what the plan prices are before you use unlimitedly. There are different plans in the international category which include different amounts for different services, so ask lots of questions. This international plan, however, has been very beneficial for us---we even have a son in Haiti now and he is able to text, call, and post pix on Facebook from his iPhone.
Good luck. Hope you have a great trip.
Only a short wait until July when we are there again!!! Yeah!
I used my cell phone this winter and no problems but not MTS has decided to charge .35/text so actually next year I may just purchase a cheap phone at the airport!
Thank very helpful info ... Have iPhone and only want to be able to call home to kiddos.... Just have to keep hubby off facebook...LOL
I will be going there, and I was wondering this same thing. It is good to hear that service is good. We will be having to call home from our honeymoon to check on the kids as well. For those of you, have you found any good apps to use while in PV?
