texting options from a foreign country

I'm going to Mexico tomorrow for a week and have some friends doing the same and would like to meet up, but I'm not sure how much I'll be charged for sending/receiving texts.  Any idea on this?!  Thanks!

While traveling in the U.S.,Canada, Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico text messages sent to non-U.S. phone numbers of participating carriers will not be applied against any monthly text messaging allowance and are charged the following:
  • $0.25/address sent
  • $0.20/message received
Text messages sent to phone numbers in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico are charged domestic rates per your plan.

While traveling outside the U.S., Canada, Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico the text messaging rates are:
  • $0.50/address sent
  • $0.05/message received

*These text messages are not applied against any monthly text messaging allowance.

Risu, as usual, is correct. :smileywink:

While in Mexico it's .50 to send a message and .05 to receive a message. Also, any calls you may make or receive are .99 per minute.
