Sam Laundon Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 I have now been in the Lake Chapala area for a month and have a question for those that use their US phone number down here. I have a US business and need to keep my US telephone number (Verizon). I am finding that the cell phone does not always ring on incoming calls, though I do usually get a voice mail. It seems the problem is with forwarding the call through Telcel. Do you have this issue also? Have you found a solution to the issue? I need to keep my US number because it is on my website. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 You probably want to consider a VOIP service and port that number over to it. Skype, Vonage and Ooma are just a few suggestions, there are many more. Sr. Google is your friend. We use Ooma and have their app on our phones in addition to a landline in our home. Calls to our US number ring on both connections. Our cost is under $5 US per month, we just pay the US tax that every phone number there must pay. You will probably get other suggestions but remember that the ability to receive a call on your cell depends on where you happen to be. Lots more dead areas in Mexico than in the US.

spacedebris Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 You might try Google Voice. https://voice.google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 We like Ooma. It is a VOIP unit that plugs into your internet anywhere, once you buy it and get a number in the USA. Our monthly bill for the taxes is just $4.09 USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I recently got Ooma also. It meets all of my needs. Apparently I can port up to two landline numbers to it. Great sound quality as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
