It had 1G of time on it when I bought it. I recharged it on line and the cost for 3G that lasts a month was $326 pesos. So Wifi for a month cost me $26 U.S. I had one but it was stolen, I have never gone over the 3G.<br />Maybe you already use one, but I thought you might like the info.<br />www.ontheroadwithroyandbelinda.blogspot.com <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Rogelio Y Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472820850156274489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-8192481497097069552012-11-03T19:51:37.018-04:002012-11-03T19:51:37.018-04:00Does anyone else remember when the Motel 6 was act...Does anyone else remember when the Motel 6 was actually $6 a night?Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-18982333181917296442012-11-03T19:08:15.853-04:002012-11-03T19:08:15.853-04:00That's great.

As long as whatever you take isn't in excess then they generally will let you through. Also, they have a red light, green light system, if you get a green light you go through without inspection and if you get a red light then they will inspect you. They don't have the restrictions that people have when crossing the border into the USA.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-6907819378576142482012-11-03T18:47:32.330-04:002012-11-03T18:47:32.330-04:00It was a very pretty info center and the girl work...It was a very pretty info center and the girl working inside was very helpful and pleasant.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-67221688306677446992012-11-03T13:24:04.958-04:002012-11-03T13:24:04.958-04:00We spent a night at that rest area using the free ...We spent a night at that rest area using the free wi-fi and with the laptop plugged into the sockets in those pavilions, a great Texas welcome.Steve & Glen Swatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609437645394919732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51539230999074959222012-11-03T12:30:10.930-04:002012-11-03T12:30:10.930-04:00d'oh.
