John-in-Vallarta

Has anyone brought their dog with them onboard, sitting with you in a second class bus? I know Primera Plus (first class bus) will not allow it. Is there another company that will?

Is that for Telecel or ATT Mexico? I need to stop spam on ATT Mexico.

The fee is in the lower rates offered.People like the service better ... and its not free either ... all buried nicely.

Looking for recommendations on best courier to send a letter from Puerto Vallarta to Ajijic Centro. There are many in Vallarta but want to make sure the carrier does direct delivery in Ajijic. Any recommendations?

I also have a yearly pre-paid AT&T Mexico plan. I "brought my own phone" so bought only the plan. Paid 12 months at sign up and get 12 free months - so quite the bargain. I have used my phone all over the US and Canada and my full 2gb of data is available to me in the USA and Canada at LTE/4G speeds. It renews every month same time without me having to do anything. As I type this I am in Canada on vacation and see they topped me up this month on top of the unused data from last month. That may be something new - but the plan does not provide for it - nice just the same. I live in Vallarta and wold rate the service in Vallarta as very good but there are some dead zones - like around Costco (which is strange). But then Telcel was a dead zone there for me before I switched to AT&T. So in a nutshell: 1.The prepaid yearly plans offer a second year free, 2.Great roaming when in the USA and Canada, 3.No need to go to OXXO or wherever to top up, 4.Good App on phone and web to track usage.

Its rather obvious on Netflix - as you will see a LOT of Spanish movies and tv programs if your in Mexico. Or you can look and see what the source IP address is of the Netflix being accessed. I have NordVPN and Canadian Netflix - though I can pick and choose where I am "seen" or really am. Not going to matter in a year or so as Netflix builds a robust "global" service that provides more equity in the library of the films and tv shows that are available in all regions.

If the card can be used for Visa or MC purchases for air travel, that may help booking of flights out of country - avoiding foreign traveller taxes. Despite being a RP if using a foreign credit card the taxes are charged, albeit recoverable later. This seems a better way to avoid that hassle. Just need to make sure the pesos are in the bank for the transaction. AngusMactavish any thoughts on that??

NordVPN states "In order to setup VPN client connection on your router, it has to support at least one of these connection types: PPTP, L2TP or OpenVPN. Furthermore, it has to support it as a "Client" (as opposed to a "Server") to allow you to connect it to NordVPN servers". (https://support.nordvpn.com/#/Connectivity/Router/1047409322/Setting-up-a-router-with-NordVPN.htm) I have been using the older Huawei modem/router from TelMex and while I have seen a slower speed using NordVPN it was not by much - but I have the $389 package from TelMex and its through fibre optic cable here in Vallarta. That said there are still issues so I have purchased an Asus RT-AC68U Router, which has OpenVPN capability built in - and is listed and recommended by NordPN.(https://support.nordvpn.com/#/Connectivity/Router/1087269942/What-router-is-recommended-for-use-with-NordVPN.htm) I picked this up in Canada for under $187.00 CAD from Staples and will install it to the old Huawei modem/router and disable the wifi and other connections and hook everything including TV up to the new router. This means everything in my home will be covered under NordVPN which I can select which country I wish to be seen from (or for that matter server) using my iPhone or any device (just like we now can). More importantly I can leave the default as Canada, USA or UK - and both wifi and tv services will always see the router default location. While I want the freedom to surf and see media content that is restricted - I also want to build a wall from Google.
