Finally 3G in Mexico

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 10:06:14 AM

In Mexico we had 3G mobile services since five years ago, but from the tiniest of the mobile providers, with the worst coverage, Iusacell and actually they provided the 3G service only in Mexico City and not all of it.

My mobile provider is Telcel (America Movil) which is the largest in Mexico and the largest in Latin America, I have a data plan but only EDGE connection, well this week they launch the 3G service, the music store and video call.

Finally 3G!!! I'm so happy I could get the unlimited data plan, and they have agreements with Yahoo! and Youtube, so I'll have YouTube videos, the only thing my mobile phone didn't have that iPhone does, so with this, I got everything the iPhone does plus more! (and US people call the iPhone a smart phone)

It is great news, because we are always last in this things. America Movil released 3G in other countries first, which is not fair, since it is a Mexican company.

Happy Constitution DayViolence can be fun

Pay as you go, you are charged $0.14 pesos per Kb, which is like $0.011 usd per Kb, if you have a contract you get, like in my case 10mb per $149.00 pesos ($11.00 usd) and every other Kb costs $0.06 pesos ($0.005 usd) and for every extra Mb it is $40.96 pesos ($3.72 usd) which means $0.04 pesos ($0.003 usd) per Kb.
