Can I Text-Message my Cousin in México? Is There an Extra Charge? Or Is It Just like a Normal Text?
I know that for México, to dial a cell phone there you drop the “044″ (the prefix for about 90% of all cell phones in México), but you have to add a “1″ after the country code (52 for México).
For e.g., let’s say my cousin’s # in Monterrey is 044-81-12345678
From the US, I have to dial
<011> the international long-distance code, +
<52> the country code for México, +
<1> the new code denoting long distance to a cell in Mexico, +
(Drop the 044 here)
<81> the city code for Monterrey, México, +
But would I have to pay this long-distance charge for sending a text too? Is it regarded as a call? I don’t have any long-distance plan on my phone to call México. I’ve heard from my aunt in Texas that without a plan, calls to México are charged as $1.50 or even $2.50 a minute, depending on the service provider.
Yes, you can…I work for tmobile and we charge .15 per text.
