Floradude Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Speaking of Telmex...my telephone bill went up from $389 (for months/years) to $468 last month. I am not complaining but I have not heard if this was an across-the-board increase. It came as a new bill delivered last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Wondering if they've had to increase their prices due to the number of customers that they've lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Our bill still reflects 389. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostlylost Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Has been $389 for many years for basic phone with internet. All that has happened is: added free calls to cellular, free long disgance in Mexico. free international calls to USA, Canada and about 15 other countries, , internet speed increases, change to fiber optic...... all with no increase in cost.

Mainecoons Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Personally speaking, I find TelMex and TelCel both to be screaming bargains compared to what these services cost in the U.S., particularly TelCel. Easy to put up with the occasional minor problem at these prices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I don't call being without telephone service for over six weeks a minor problem. Incidentally, it wasn't Telmex who repaired it. I had someone trace my line to the junction box at the top of a pole around the corner from my house. The wire connection was corroded. He snipped off the corroded parts of the wire and re-attached it. It would have been simple for four different Telmex repair men to have done the same thing. Pathetic service. I don't have any problems with Telcel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvanparys Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 We beat the TelMex problem by signing up with Total Play... This came about when we went 30 days with no internet. Now, when TelMex takes a siesta, we switch to Total Play... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Yup. It's been a process. Thank heaven for competition. At one point I had Telmex, iLox and TotalPlay. Dumped iLox first and then Telmex. TotalPlay is the most consistently reliable service here. Hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 Interesting. Yesterday (Tues, 26th), the Chapala mailman delivered me another new Telmex bill. Guess what, I am now back to $388.00 again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
