Understanding how to dial Mexico is challenge enough. Add to that the difference in dialing patterns to landline vs. mobile phones and you'll want to call customer service before long. However, updating your speed dial setting should not be difficult if the refillable phone card you are using offers an easy-to-navigate online account management system. Ease of use has become a key factor in selecting your preferred Mexico calling card, along with connection reliability. The fewer dropped calls you experience, if any at all, the more you are liable to stick with the perfect prepaid phone card you have found.
The Mexican telecommunications authorities have been working on changing the Calling Party Pays service (CPP) so that national and international long distance calls received by mobile users will be paid by the caller. This practice has long been the standard in most European countries. Consumers complain that in Mexico itself no carrier has announced anything, not even the local telephone company. This has impacted the accounts of thousands of individual users.
