We do have a basic understanding of Spanish and can usually make ourselves understood - and we can usually understand. Sorry - but that was not the question.
We do have a Telcel throwaway phone as well as a banda ancha. Sorry - but again that was not the question either.
This device is not even available yet but appears it will not work with all phones. I am really not clear about how it works and if anyone knows how or if it works. I am also not clear about which phones it might work on. This device will not be ready before we leave this year but brings up questions about the possibility of other devices - as well as how to use this one when it does become available.
The point has also been brought up above that even if the SIM is changed in Mexico a Verizon phone will not work but an AT&T will. I am wondering if anyone can clarify any of this in a way that anyone reading this forum who may have these same questions might understand.
I am trying to open a discussion about using this device or something similar and/or phones or other devices that might work when we are out and about and get stuck for a word we may not know and/or is not in our dictionary.
This also brings up questions others on this forum might have about which US phones (or Canadian phones) can be used in Mexico if a Mexico SIM is installed in our existing phones.
I do not understand these things so these are the questions I ask. Once again - we do have basic Spanish and we keep practicing whenever we can. We also have Mexico throw away phones and banda ancha.
