Telcel offers good data coverage for all its plans. However, you need a compatible GSM T-Mobile phone to use the service. The service also works for any Unlocked GSM phone that's compatible with T-Mobile. You won't be able to use Tracfone, Straight Talk, SafeLink, NET10, CMDA and BlackBerry phones with this offering.

Subscribers of Telcel Mexico international plans can also leave or receive voicemails. Other services include caller ID, call forwarding, call waiting, two-way calls and SMS.

Before leaving Mexico, look into the available roaming operators in the country you intend to visit. Find out if they signed a roaming agreement with Telcel. Also, activate your roaming while you're still in the country, not abroad.

You can convert your postpaid Telcel SIM card to a prepaid one without changing your number. Additionally, Telcel allows users to add more than one plan as needed. Otherwise, all Reserved Plans are added on the end date.

For international data plans, Telcel offers the Roadtrip data plan, which offers up to 1 GB of data. Its Maritime data plan works on over 25 different cruise ships, and the price is charged per MB consumed. Telcel's Flying data plan works similarly to Maritime, but you're charged per MB.
