Cell phones in Cancun???
I'm from California, and was wondering if my cell phone will work while I'm in Cancun.

If it's Cingular, almost certainly yes. If it's Sprint or T-Mobile, no it won't. If it's something else, your mileage may vary --- check with your cellular company.

Have fun!

My walkie talkie with Nextel does work in Cun even though they said it would not.

My T-Mobile works just fine in Mexico and in all of the Caribbean countries as well.....I just use the international roaming feature and it is a tri-band phone

our cingular worked, but we had to contact our cell phone company in advance to turn on the international service with a charge of a few bucks, plus about 85 cents a minute.
