Can I use the USA version and a Skype number when I am in Mexico to make and receive calls to and from land lines?

Note there seem to be two versions of this phone, and only the newer one seems to support Skype. Can´t get mine to work (yet) with Skype.

I have no idea if it would work like that in Mexico. Sorry I cannot help you.

Sure can. I use one of these in Australia, and it allows you to put in whichever SIP provider you want, and has Skype built into the phone.

Yes you can today - the only problem is that Skype claims the phones will not be functional after December 1, 2013. Not sure of what the change in functionality will involve.

No land line needed but computer must remain on to make and receive calls.Skype to Skype calls are free Skype to land lines and cell phone are fee based.

Hi Sr.Milind, DIAL # before a number to make your call using your landline. DIAL ** before a number to make your call using Skype. See all instructions in config web page. More answer? I help u!

Dial # and the phone number to force the Freetalk device to use your land line. Without the # prefix it will dial out via Skype.

You do not need a landline. All that is required is an (high speed) internet connection. Skype does not use hardly much bandwidth at all, you will not notice a difference in your download speeds. What is better, you can access Skype on many mobile devices with a wifi connection (such as Ipod, and even a PSP); you just need a wifi connection and earbuds with a microphone. Even better, when you travel (or use a computer at the hotel) you get your full Skype account just like you were home, all your contacts and calling costs you no more than at home. I go for the all-you-can-dial plan for about $25-30 per year. You will purchase the calling plan and the phone number seperately (total about $60)--but that is your entire phone bill for the year. It is even better--I am curently in Japan (military duty) and I call coast to coast, all year for only $60. And averyone calls me just like I was in Texas (got a Texas number). Tell me how you beat that? --Karlo J

This is the Wifi version, you can't make calls if you mean by that phone calls. But if you mean Skype and others by 'making a call' then yes you can.

J, to my best knowledge, yes you can use this in US. This is why: I purchased this phone for Mexico, but as I live in the border I cross often to US and I got AT&T; service. In the other hand, I got one for my wife (Motorloa Unlocked Verizon branded) and it works in Mexico but cannot get any service in US -please note this Motorola stated unlocked non for US. Cheers!

The phone is unlocked in US for sure.. I am pretty sure it will be unlocked in Mexico. Very nice, medium size smartphone. I recommend it.

Yes. You can use an unlocked GSM network available on other countries by purchasing a new SIM card with a prepaid or other service company in another counrty which is usually much cheaper or you can use your US company that has an international option, but check your US carrier/service for rates/pricing. I have T-Mobile. International option and can call Brazil landlines, text, send photos for free. Calling other cells in Brazil costs a lot per minute. I like to use

NO - I do not think this card works from Mexico. To my understanding, it will only work with phone calls originating from the USA.

Yes, you can use any phones including both smart and dumb phones, and traditional land line phones. We also support VOIP calling (SIP phones) and other clients like Skype. Contact us if you are interested.

Yes, this model will work in Mexico. Mexico has both GSM and CDMA networks,but GSM is far more prevalent than CDMA. (LTE build-out is way short of complete.) Roaming from a non-Mexican plan is likely to be expensive. Cheaper option is to buy a Mexican SIM card for use while you're there, but it's not absolutely required.

No, you cannot. This is a voice only phone that uses SIP protocol. No Skype.

I never been to Mexico but if its unlocked phone it should work to any country in the world as far as I know.
