I don't see how that is possible. I seen their PCS system have caller id.
And since now they have GSM, they *should* have caller ID as well, at least
for the locals.

Text messaging works in mexico and is $0.40/message if I remember correctly.
If you have voice mail you might want to remove it before going to mexico as
any messages that go to VM will incur add'l roaming charges.
