Calling Mexico From The U.S. & Vice Versa

Calling Mexico From The US, Calling The US From Mexico, Cell To Landline, Landline To Cell and Everything In Between

The list below is a pretty thorough list, it includes, cell to landline, landline to cell, cell to cell, landline to landline and 800 numbers. If you are using your US cell to call Mexico, the numbers vary depending on whether you’re calling a Mexican landline or a Mexican cell phone…and whether you’re calling from within the US or within Mexico. The same goes for a Mexican cell phone, US landline and Mexican landline.

Right at the beginning it shows the toll free versions…the Mexican counterparts make more sense to me.

From your US cell phone:

You can make calls from your U.S. cell phone to Mexican numbers while you are in Mexico. The most confusing thing about this is that some US companies have arrangements with local Mexican carriers (TELCEL or MOVISTAR for example). In this case, the Mexican carrier takes over and your cell phone becomes “Mexican,” so you will use the “from Mexico” option below. Other carriers have no arrangement with any Mexican company, so you’ll use the “from the U.S.” option below. Unless you have an international plan, it is not cheap to use your U.S. cell phone in Mexico, but some times it is necessary. Contact your cell phone company before leaving the U.S, or try to dial the following ways:

– To dial to a Mexican local or long distance landline number:
From the U.S: 011 52 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)
From Mexico: 01 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)

– To dial to a Mexican cell phone number:
From the U.S: Dial 011 52 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)
From Mexico: Dial 01 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)

– To dial to a U.S. phone number:
Dial 00 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)

– To dial to a 1-800 U.S. number: (be aware: international rates will apply)
Dial 00 + 1 + 880 + phone number

– To a US cell phone while is in Mexico (some companies have that as default):
Dial 00 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)

Wacko – Cause ‘N Defect

This is the last film I was in before my motorcycle accident. That is my real hair…it was down past my shoulders, I cut it shortly after the film. It was a lot of fun, the dialogue is all scripted, I memorized it, and then would just repeat it over and over then faster and faster until it was second nature.

My Day On Melrose Place

Me: “You look like you’ve been riding all night.”
Jake: “Yeah, I took the road up the coast from LA”
Me: “That’s a hell of a long haul, well, I hope you’re almost where you’re going man.”
Jake: “Yeah, I’m getting there. You got a phone around here?”

Melrose Place No Strings Attached

This was an episode of Melrose Place I was in; we shot it 1994. It’s about 6 lines on page and very drab. I tried to add some character to it, but the director told me not to do anything! I sat around on set for five hours until they were ready for me…I worked for about an hour and made about $700 for the day. My scene was with “Jake”
The name of the Melrose Place episode is: “No Strings Attached”.

I had a lot of fun when I was living in Hollywood…on set and off. I was just starting to work more and then I had the motorcycle accident, click that link if you want to read more about it, then click the Near Death Experiences link in the table of contents.

The last two things I booked were a beer commercial and a TV movie of the week that had Kate Jackson and the guy that was in that show Major Dad. Unfortunately for me, both were scheduled to shoot on the same day…I had a “manager” at the time and the only thing she managed to do was get the part in the movie cut. I shot the beer commercial, it was for some new beer that never came out…it was around when “Ice Beer” was popular, but it never went into production…I still made money on it…I went through 2 or 3 holding periods…they have to pay you the same amount they initially paid you, which for this commercial was $3,000, so you don’t do any other beer commercials. Then when the commercial airs, you get paid every time in a descending 13 week cycle, then when the new cycle starts, you are at the top of your pay scale again.
