Pearl cell phone coverage / SMS Texting?

I'd think this subject had been covered, but didn't find it when searching.

How's cell phone coverage at Pearl? We have AT&T and can get an international plan for about $30 per phone with unlimited text. That's how we'd like to communicate with home while there if possible. But we did the same thing on a recent trip to Ecuador and it turned out to be a waste due to such bad coverage.

Thanks!

Cell phone coverage at both Desire properties is 100% - you should have no issues ;)

Sonomapair, double check with AT&T before you pay extra, they now include service in Canada and Mexico at no additional charge. We have AT&T and had great service when we are at Pearl.

I think all major US carriers are free in Mexico now. We have Sprint and had to download an update before we left. No problems. No charge. :D

We can confirm, cell coverage is good at Desire. We do have T-Mobile, so we make our calls home over the Desire Wi-Fi at no additional cost. Text is unlimited as well.

Sure enough! Thanks for the tip. It's been a year since we were in Mexico...and we had to pay last time.
