Cell Service From Us Towers In Tj?

Was anyone able to access the US cell towers while in Tijuana?

No. Mine changed the moment I crossed the boarder. I have AT&T. But the hospital and hotel had wifi. So I just kept my phone on airplane mode to avoid additional cost. I downloaded a free txting app that I could use on wifi.

So the moment you go across the border you cant use your cellphone? I have free texting on my iphone and with the wifi I was hoping I could text and FaceTime? Ill have to call tomorrow

Call about adding an international plan. The last time I checked it was pretty pricey for txt and outrageous for cellular data and calls.

I have sprint and it was super pricey to add anything to use here. I set my phone to sprint only and literally stopped working at the border. I have skype on my computer and the wifi at the hospital and hotel work fine for it. Also through sprint they have a texting service you can use through the website for free.

I used my cell phone but turned off the data so my phone wasn't constantly checking for emails. My phone bill was not too bad for the convenience - I did use the free wifi in the hotel and clinic.

You can text on Kik for free. Wifi in the hotel was very bad for me. Couldn't get my laptop to work every time. Turn roaming off!!! The wifi in the hospital was great, and they will let you get calls:) I think I even called home after surgery.

You could get a throw away phone to use while there. Roaming is super bad!!! Turn it offffff
