Herman Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Telcel or AT&T? Who do you recommend and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 ATT, it's half the price. They have an English speaking representative at the new store besides Alex's Pasta Bar that treats you like a client, not an inconvenience.

RickS Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Cell service coverage is another important factor in addition to price. Make sure that AT&T has coverage where YOU want to use it the most. And one cannot get better customer service than with the Telcel lady who is also 2 doors down from Alex's Pasta Bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I use AT&T but I am in Guadalajara. I would recommend getting a sim card from each company for a month and test the coverage where you are going to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

757 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I have used AT&T since they landed in the area. We have never had a problem of coverage lakeside, in GDL. Mexico City or in the US. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexico City or in the US. I basically found that true with AT&T except what I saw a couple of weeks ago during a in country road trip. I have both a AT&T Mexico and Telcel (roaming for AT&T US) SIM card in my phone. A few times there was marked difference in coverage between the two. A couple of times one or the other provider did not have any signal. I kept a closer eye on the indicators more than usual because I was surprised how much difference there was. No I was not driving. LOL That is why I recommend to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 First, let's be honest, AT&T's coverage around Lakeside is spotty. There are neighborhoods where it works fine - from what you say - and others such as SAT and Riberas, where it sometimes works or rarely works. From living NOB, I wouldn't take it if they paid me, but that's another story. I've used Telcel for 10+ years with no problems.
