  2. Panda Networks cellular signal booster. Telcel in San Nicolas went from 3G 3-4 down to 4G 80 down. Put it on the roof pointed to cell tower and boom. Done. Haven't gone down once. No need for 2 services like some people have because they loose Ilox or Telmex.

  4. The need to increase insurance would be proportional to the amount of assets one has in the US.

  7. Since wearing a mask offers a lot less protection for the wearer than the other people, therein lies the major reason many don't wear. Love thy neighbor is greatly missing with many.

  9. I was under the impression that Vonage just works with landlines. I went to the website and they said I could connect Vonage to my cell but I would need to use an access number: You can link your Vonage service to any mobile or landline phone number. When you make a call from the linked phone number, you must use an Access Number and your Security PIN to ensure you are billed at the same low rates as your Vonage home phone. I have a landline that works well with with my internet connection. It seems like this would be a hassle to use. But thanks for the information. Who knows what will transpire in the future. Right now I have Telcel Sin Limites. I pay 200 pesos a month and it does cover my needs for phone and data. I use my smart phone alot to call my daughters in the states. In fact when I am home I always use WhatsApp video. It sure beats a regular phone. I get to see my adult "babies" beautiful smiles. Makes an old dad very, very happy.

  10. We are not driving any longer to the U.S., we fly. We rent cars in MI and AZ regularly, no problem with MX drivers license. Our car insurance here in MX covers us for rental cars in the U.S. However, sometimes, depending on the time of year, we take out extra liability insurance and, since we are only gone a couple of days at a time, we think the cost is reasonable. We rent cars through Expedia.com and chose pick up at the local airports where we fly into.

  14. We have been driving to the U.S. from Mexico for over 20 years with a Mexican license. We have driven as far as Michigan into the U.S. No problems. We personally know that in Texas and AZ, just across the Border there are many places to buy liability insurance. We were pulled over for speeding once and when we showed our DL, the office gave us a verbal warning. Check with the States you will be traveling through to see what their requirements are.

  16. I got my wife an Ooma line about 3 years ago and haven't had to call/contact them for 'technical service' ever. If we have an Internet signal, she has telephone service. Truly amazing I guess, but I had another Vonage-like service for 15 years and only had to contact them maybe once or twice.

  18. Sometimes 'what we have is what we keep', regardless if there is a 'better way'. Having said that, buy Ooma for $100, port the Alberta # and after a 3-month return-on-investment ($34 X 3 = $100) the phone is 'free'. Same number. Same quality.

  19. I think you could port that Alberta phone # from the very expensive Vonage account to an Ooma account and start paying much less for, as far as I know, the same service.

  20. I live in Riberas and AT&T does not work in my home. I had to switch ti Telcel. It works fine here in Mexico. My plan covers the United States and Canada also. I previously had AT&T in Bucerias before I moved to Riberas. I loved it. Within Mexico I would say they are about equal although when you get to really out of the way places Telcel's coverage is more expansive. Where AT&T was far superior in my mind was calling the States and Canada. It was much easier and I had a better signal calling friends and one daughter in the States and my other daughter in Vancouver. They also had no problems calling me either. When I went to the States it was far easier to make and receive calls also in AT%T since you are on their network and Telcel has to use a second party network. Now with my Telcel when I call the states the connection time is slower. The connection is often very poor and calls drop alot more often. My friends and daughters do not even bother calling me. They will either call me on Wattsapp or send me a text message to ask me to call them. It is too much of a hassle for them.

  24. There's a website for that: https://www.flightconnections.com/ The short answer is no for nonstop. Yes for connections via Mexico City, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, LA. Keep Cancun in mind, as European airlines fly nonstop there and have return flights for their vacationers, too.
