Yep, my TMobile account gets me unlimited 4 G data, voice, text reliably, free of roaming charges in US, Mexico and Canada.
I have an old plan cheap, so I get free 2 G data in any country in the world, fast enough for most apps.
TMobile bought Sprint and is now the strongest 5 G provider in the US. Call their number and talk to the CS sweethearts in the Phil. They can get you good deals.

The -challenge- is, if the phone even _sniffs_ it's home carrier, it will NOT seek out a roaming carrier. So a carrier that will roam, is not necesarily the answer.
For the pitifully few dollars it costs, load up a local SIM with a few GB of data, and carry on. And once a day or so in your hotel room (or more) swap in the home SIM when you're in good wifi area, or close to the border to catch up on txt's for that #.
But your apps won't care (WhatsApp, etc) what SIM in in the phone, they'll just work. Just native TXTs and Phone Calls to your home SIM won't work.
If you're an android user, get a dual SIM phone.

Posts: 536Which American Cell Phone Carrier
I'm looking for a new cell phone carrier. I hope to find an American provider that has a Mexico option that actually works well.
(And, yes, I am aware of the option to get a Mexican phone or SIM card. That doesn't work for me, for reasons that I'll not boor you with.).

That's good to know Urfikhan. I always liked the UTC area.
I like to hotel in San Diego when visiting from USA And find these days rooms in San Diego City are pretty expensive. I may stay in a hotel near UTC for my next trip.

Posts: 2569New Years eve
Was wondering if anyone has been in Tijuana on New Yeas eve. Seems like fun. I am a bit concerned things could be crazy and lines will be very long heading back.

Posts: 81Trolley Extension / Using Hot-spots in Tijuana
The Blue Line Trolley, previously terminating at downtown, was recently extended all the way up to UTC / La Jolla area. Now you can park for free at the Nobel Drive station in a brand new parking structure next to a great shopping center, avoid the horrible south-bound traffic in the evenings (2 PM on wards). The ride is 1 hour, but I had my laptop and a Inseego WiFi hot-spot so I got myself a comfortable seat and setup a mobile office, and got a lot of work done. The hot-spot gets you 50 Mbps - 80 Mbps data rates. I probably could have driven ad saved 20 minutes, but this was a far better deal. Folks using the trolley stations for parking (https://sdmts.com/rider-info/transit-station-parking) should look into this option of parking up further north and saving yourself driving through rush hour traffic. These trolleys run every 15 minutes.
A major advantage of using a dedicated Hot-spot: I carry 2 cell phones and a laptop, so I just have a unlimited data plan on a Verizon SIM and that has helped me in Tijuana with all 3 devices and also when I have bad coverage in Cascadas and definitely outside the hotel. The Cell pones need to have WiFi calling mode enabled.
Queue was not bad on Tuesday evening, and was okay on Wednesday until 11 AM (showing 30 min wait) but then it suddenly swelled to 2-3 hours wait. Street action was not that great but I went with known quantities. I wonder how long these long waits will continue. IMO if you don't have SENTRI, right now it is not worth the wait if you are not going to see anyone specific.
