It's official, Verizon is offering some new features and also raising the costs of their plans if you choose to upgrade. From the announcement: As part of today's announcements, Verizon also said that customers in the XL or larger plans can get unlimited talk and text from the U.S. to Mexico...

Good news for Verizon users, looks like they are climbing on the using your phone in Mexico for free Bandwagon, but only for some customers. Per the article I read, Verizon customers have unlimited calling from the U.S. to Mexico and Canada. This feature will reportedly be included with XL and...

Yes, About 5 blocks north on the street at the light, just around the corner, yellow building.

For all those entering without a passport, It really makes the re-entry wait longer for everybody else in line. With a passport/card 20-30 seconds. Without 2-3+ minutes depending on the attitudes in the car and the border agent. . It all adds up to the wait on busy weekends. Hopefully the...

On Monday I drove from Oceanside to RP, I crossed at Yuma/San Luis, I must say it was the fastest crossing into Mexico I've experienced in awhile. I crossed at 1:30PM there were 2 lanes open, they were checking 1 out of every 6 cars. After getting the green light I went 1 block and turned left...

It looks like, I will go through San Luis, I have pesos burning a whole in my wallet so the 110 peso toll is ok for a nicer road. When it's cooler I will try going through Andrade and check that out. Anyone know the condition of the Coastal highway, pot holes, sand bars, Police speed traps...

JJ, I will check it out, I assume the Yuma crossing town is a lot smaller than Mexicali?. I will map it out when I get in front of a computer. Im sure I'll have a few more questions, thx.

How is the drive from San Diego going through Mexicali via the coastal highway? I have a PM to Rick aka Pinto Point about this. I going to Cholla on Monday and would like some insight from anyone who had driven that way. I am open to alternatives. I've only entered through Sonyota. So any info...

T-Mobile works great, as Mis2810 said, switch the carrier to Telcel because Movistar's data is really slow. Using Telcel, I get 3G, 4G or LTE depending where I am in RP. The 4G/LTE speeds are usually better than in the states. On our trip to Santo Tomas my kid's said there was 4G data the whole...

That bill was for 17 days of stay at our house. Maybe 1 day of using the A/C and 5 days of running power tools as we were re-tiling our house. Even running the A/C (1- 2 ton mini split, a 6000 btu window unit and an electric water heater ) we average 25-30KW per day during the warmer months...

I believe so, but there are different KW levels for the summer months vs the winter. I am sure the top tier is 30+ cents per KW. 0-600kw 600-1500 1500-1800 1800-4000 4000+ I attached a copy of my bill, but I don't use much electricity (not there enough) It cost me $5.70 or .044 per KW for 2...

I drove to Santo Tomas May 29th, The 15 miles of narrow road East of the Mayan was pretty rough, many of the potholes patches were on the road. After that stretch it turns into a wonderful stretch of newer road with shoulder lanes. Here is a shot of it past the Mayan turnoff.

I've learned that you have to be doing the posted speed limit when you pass the signs, in Sonoyta, Organ Pipe, Why, Ajo and Gila Bend. That little hill trap going north into Sonoyta has claimed most people I know who go to RP. By the time my wife got out of the office to pay her fine (5 minutes)...

I don't know about better than Phx when the humidity is 80% and above. :rolleyes:. But a great place to be anyway. We left yesterday at 12PM and it was 95 going past the condos, 110 when we got 5 miles north of town. When we arrived home it was toasty but dry. We rented a Rhino Friday afternoon...

We're coming back together USA today, police speed traps at both ends of town, it cost my wife 1000 pesos at the court building, she was going 65kph at the little hill coming into Sonoyta so it was justified, there were 10 other cars there paying fines. Lots of cars headed south, I mean...

RP and all over Mexico electric costs are tiered as far as I remember it goes like this. 0-600kw is 8 cents. 600-1500kw is 16 cents 1500kw and up is 31 cents, I haven't seen a bill that reflects 1F zone, I will look over the next few days for my latest bill

Well today we finally followed up on Jerry's and Mexico Joe's advice and did a day trip south to Santo Tomas. The road from Cholla was pretty good but a little past the Mayan Palace turn-off, it turns into potholed filled nasty for the next 20+ miles. This stretch reminds me of Highway 8 from...

LJ, Thanks. We haven't been to Encanto in awhile, but will check it out next week. I really like the "hardly anyone there" part.

Since Sandy Beach was closed to access just wondering what local beaches are open to the public? Looking for some that are within 10 miles of town. Tucson Beach is just too crowded, Mi Playa is a nice beach but a litter ground by those who use it. Any suggestions with directions would be...

Are there any Fitness Gyms available to rent in Penasco? Thanks
