Hi, I am wondering if I can use the phone in Tecate, Mexico. Either by
Sprint or roaming. Thanks!

On their web site Sprint lists:
Chapala
Ensenada
Guadalajara
Mexico City
Monterrey
Nuevo Lardo
Raynosa
Tijuana
Toluca
as places where Sprint phones may roam.

With Tecate not listed it is likely GSM territory. Thus if you will be there
any length of time a local rental would be cheapest.


Tecate web page says:
If you take your phone with you, make sure to call your provider and ask if
they have a recipical with either Baja Celular (Baja only) or TelCel (all of
Mexico), if so tell them that you want your phone unblocked for Mexico so you
can roam and use it. You also can get your GSM digital or any other Cel-phone
activated in Baja for very litle and can than use and buy prepaid cards to use
it in Baja. (Most phones can be activated for 2 services.) If you have prepaid
service in the US or Baja it will only work in the country were you did
activate it.

PCS International Roaming

Sprint gives you the ability to make and receive calls internationally while
maintaining your PCS Phone Number. Sprint provides coverage in more than 130
countries. By activating PCS International Roaming, calls to your PCS Phone
Number will be delivered to you. The charges for the calls you make and receive
will appear on your monthly PCS Invoice. And, since Sprint doesn't charge long
distance for incoming calls, using your regular PCS Phone Number while abroad
is affordable.
There are three different types of roaming possibilities when you roam
internationally. To determine which roaming solution best meets your needs, you
will need to:
1. Locate the country or countries you will be visiting while traveling
abroad.
2. Determine the type of roaming used in that country: PCS, GSM, or PDC.
3. Review the Compatible Phones section for information about the type of
roaming and determine if you need to purchase or lease a phone in order to roam
in that country.


Prior to using international roaming, you will need to contact the PCS
International Roaming Team at 1-888-226-7212 to authorize your phone for
international roaming. Also, some countries require the use of a special code
or Personal Identification Number (PIN) to allow international roaming. Once
you have signed up for PCS International Roaming, your PIN will be provided to
you prior to your departure.
