Need Cell Phone Coverage in Cozumel?? This Info Should Help!
Cell phone coverage in Cozumel was extremely limited in the past and very expensive for all users and most especially for travellers with a cell phone from another country. Folks would bring their cell phones thinking they would function only to arrive and find cell coverage simply wasn't available for their phone or that they could receive calls but not initiate calls out. Fortunately times have changed and technology abounds on the island now.
Since the hurricane destruction of 2005 brought the need to install new cell phone towers, Cozumel now has state of the art, extented range cellular towers that interface with several US based cell coverage providers. If travelers pay their US cell providers for a month of international call usage prior to departing for Cozumel, it typically means a vacation hassle free of trying to figure out how to stay in touch back home without paying a fortune to the internet cafes and calling houses.
And now, some cell phone plans in the US don't even require the purchase of anything additional in order to make calls while outside the US. It's always best to check in advance with your cellphone provider to ensure you understand what the costs of using your cell phone will be while in Cozumel or Mexico. Once that detail has been determined, cell phone providers can also typically advise you how to dial numbers when in a foreign country. However, the information below reflects most cell phone providers' dialing methods while in Cozumel or Mexico.
