These days we are so used to having a phone in our house or with us wherever we go that we take it for granted, but it is one of the things to have on your mind when you are considering buying in Baja. Here are some options for your communications needs.
It is recommended that at all possible you avoid using the blue phones that let you charge the call to your Credit card to call long distance collect; even though the local rates seem reasonable the rates to calls to the U.S. and Canada are not so.
Landlines

Cellular Phones
Will my mobile phone work in Mexico? Chances are it will, but the suggestion is that you contact your carrier to ask about service in Mexico and for plans for international phone calls while you are here because even though you may get service, rates for international calls and send/receive messages can be very expensive. When buying a home, if you plan on using only your U.S. mobile phone (no landline) make sure the area is not a dead zone.
