What cell phone plan do most of you use? I have an iphone and i have telcel and the amigo plan. Every month i have to put at least 50 pesos because if i don't, i cannot use the pesos i have on my phone. Apparently if you put 50 pesos, its good for 1 month. But if you put 100 pesos, its good for 2 months. I would use data on my phone by entering codes to 5050 such as int50 which would give me 7 days of data of 400mb. That would deduct 50 pesos from my credit. But if i put another code like int150, then i would get like 28 days of data for like 150 pesos and i believe i get 1.5gb of data etc.
What confuses me is i notice in the telcel site, it said if you use 400mb and 50 pesos... you get 500mb worth of what looks like facebook, twitter, something else and whatsapp. Can someone explain to me what this means? So if you use facebook, twitter or whatsapp, you get 500mb worth for the 7 days... and this doesn't count toward the 400mb you have for the week? Also does anyone know what is the other app that is shown that includes? I posted the link below from the telcel site. Also there are like 2 more apps shown when you use pay 100 peso or more. What are the names of these apps?

Also i noticed when you enter a code where you pay 100 pesos or more, you get unlimited facebook, twitter and whatsapp... is that correct? Thus if you use facebook, twitter or whatsapp, none of this would count toward the 1gb or 1.5gb you have etc? The thing that confuses me is why are there flags of mexico, us and canada there? It shows it as well for the 400 peso code etc. Because does any of these plans include local phone calls to Mexico while in Mexico? Does it include phone calls to the us and canada? So if you enter the codes for these, you get unlimited calling to the us and canada and mexico numbers? Or not? Im guessing it doesn't as when i type it in google translate, it says whatsapp without borders. But what does that mean?
Does anyone know what is the charge per minute... for calls from Telcel cell phone to other mexican cell phones? What about to the us and canada? Because i believe its 1 peso per minute to other mexican numbers... but it has to be a local number right the same one as you use? And calls to the us from the mexican telcel cell phone iphone is 2 pesos a minute? Also how much does it cost to send a text/receive a text from your telcel cell phone to another mexican number? Is it 1 peso per text? Is it only when sending though?
The thing is as you know in the US, when you pay for monthly plan like tmobile etc, you pay the amount and you get x amount of data and unlimited phone calls and texts. But with telcel, i believe you cannot? Also im curious are there any monthly plans here where you pay x amount of pesos a month and you get unlimited phone calls and texts but of course have a set amount of data per month? I know lot of ppl here in mexico communicate via whatsapp but even if they do, they still need data to do it right? Thus if you don't have data, well you can't use whatsapp. I don't make any local phone calls here or text other mexican numbers much because i mainly use whatsapp, but curious what most of you do. Thus i assume when most of you are outside, well you have your data turned on right?
