As of November 4th there are important changes in the way you will
now dial from a regular phone to a cell phone.
From now on, the person
who
dials will pay the full cost of the phone call to a cell phone. In the
past that was not the case, if you were making a long distance phone
call from
a regular phone (hard-line) to a cell phone. The cell phone user had
to pay part of the costs of the call.
The changes are confusing and you
may
need to take a patience pill or drink a shot of Tequila to get through
these instructions…
Feel free to forward this information to your
friends and business colleagues. Otherwise, you may never hear from them
again!
If you are making a phone call from a regular phone to a cell phone
in the same city (same area code-LADA) there is no change.
So for example if you are dialing a phone number a hard line
in Puerto
Vallarta (322) to a cell phone with an area code in Puerto Vallarta
(322) you would
dial:
044+322+ seven digit phone number.
If you are making a
long distance phone call
from
a regular phone to a cell phone in another city you will
now need to dial with a 045 instead of 01.
For example if you
were
to dial from
a hard line
in Puerto Vallarta (322) to a Guadalajara (333)
cell phone the
current way of dialing would be: 01 + 333 + seven digit phone number.
Now
you will dial: 045 + 333 + seven digit phone number- If you are making a phone
call from a regular phone to a cell phone that comes from
your same city (same area code-LADA) but that cell
phone is located temporarily in another city or region,
you will still dial
044. So, for example, if you are dialing a phone number
from a hard line in
Puerto Vallarta (322) to a cell phone from Puerto Vallarta
(322) but that is temporarily in Monterrey you would dial: 044
322 seven digit
phone
number.
If you are dialing from a regular phone in the US or Canada
to a cell phone in Mexico (52) you will add a 1. For example,
if
you wan
to dial
a cell
phone in Guadalajara (333) from a hard line in Tucson you
would currently dial 011+52+333 + seven digit phone number.
As of November
4th you
will dial 011+52 +1 +333 + seven digit phone number.
- Here is the complicated
part: All of the above instructions apply to those persons
who have their telephone services with Telmex!
If
you are
a client of Alestra, Avantel, Axtel and Maxcom phone
services in Mexico, if you are to make a phone call from your regular
phone
to a cell phone,
you will continue to dial in the same way before the
November 2nd changes.
- So if you are a client of Alestra, Avantel, Axtel and Maxcom
and making a phone call from a regular phone to a cell
phone in another
city (different
area code-LADA) there are no changes. For example if
you were to dial from a hard line in Puerto Vallarta (322) to Guadalajara
(333) you
would continue
to
dial: 01 + 333 + seven digit phone number.
If you are a client of Alestra, Avantel, Axtel and Maxcom and
making a phone call from a regular phone to a cell
phone that comes from
your same
city (same area code-LADA) but that cell phone is
located temporarily in another city or region, you will still
dial 044.
So, for
example, if you
are dialing a phone number from a hard line in Puerto
Vallarta (322) to a cell phone from Puerto Vallarta (322) but
that is temporarily in Monterrey
you would
dial: 044+322+ seven digit phone number
