Sorry Mate,
No GSM in Mexico...

http://www.gsmcoverage.co.uk

On this site you can see what systems they have all over the world and how the coverage is...

I don't believe GSM works in Mexico (My phone doesn't work there, tried it before).

Oh, but they do got an extensive CDMA/TDMA network, look for phones that support those options if you really need a phone in Mexico.

Nextel in the US and Phillipines, or Mike (Telus Mobility) in Canada, among others. But I don't think you can get them without a subscription.

There are the Motorola i2000 and i2000 Plus which are dual mode iDEN/GSM.

Check, but Telcel and Telefonica Moviles should have 1900MHz GSM/GPRS coverage in Cancun.

What is iDEN? The name of a phone or is it a technology?
T230 >> T610 >> Ngage QD >> N73 >> N85 >> Omnia HD >> And countless other review units
