Our main fear in moving to Mexico for 5 weeks was that, upon arriving in Mexico with a steadfast determination to "get a lot of work done," we would be waylaid by technology issues. Before leaving we shopped around for a new cell phone provider with the best service in Mexico and settled on T-Mobile, recommended to us by every cell phone service provider we talked to except (of course) the one we were giving up, Sprint.
But we've shopped for technology needs before, and typically we find ourselves in an overpromised-underdelivered predicament, i.e., the phone they say will work "wherever" actually doesn't and the software that they say is easy to install never is.
But alas -- we are up and running! We simply plugged our T-Mobile wireless router into our cable modem, and we are totally connected. T-Mobile's "Hotspot @ Home" provides us with an WiFi internet connection that works anywhere in our rented house (including poolside in our little tropical courtyard). The best part is we have FREE international phone calls on our cell phones when we are in the house because we are calling via the internet, not a cell tower. And calls are FREE anywhere else in Merida with a wireless connection!
So thank you, T-Mobile, for delivering the on your technology promises. (And no, we aren't getting any product placement fees for that observation.)
