YOu can check with your cell phone provider to see if you have international service, if so you can use your cell any where in the world that have cell phone reception.
I'm sure PV have cell phone reception.

MissVicki,
Do not know about PV but here is our experience in Loreto, Mexico and Hopkins, Belize.
Loreto: We checked with Cingular. They said digital would NOT work but GSM would so I changed my phone to GSM, hubby kept digital. Digital DID work but we never did figure out how to get the GSM to work. Other people had other carriers & theirs did not work.
Belize: Digital - did not work; GSM - said Emergency Only. Never did figure out what that meant or how to use it.
There was an international phone in the lobby. Not sure how long my hubby was on the phone but the charge was $40 each time. The credit card company only allows 3 calls to be charged within so many hours.
On our last day there, hubby read in our Fodors Guide that he could have bought some kind of service to use with our phone while we were in the Belize City Airport.
So if you cannot live without your cell phone, try to check with your carrier and also get a Fodors Guide & check it out.

My cingular worked all over Mexico including Morelia, Uruapan, Patzcuaro, Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, Manzanillo & PV at 99 cents a minute so I used it very sparingly. I find that the little phone casitas are as little as 3 pesos (about 27 cents) a minute. The only caveat is be sure to time your calls as "mistakes" can happen.
