Lest expensive way/plan to use 2 phones in Mexico for 3 days

My wife and I will be spending a couple of days in Mexico City attending the "Dia de Muertos".  There will be crowds with millions, yes millions of people.  We need a 3 day plan for each of us in case we get seperated in the crowds.  I could buy Mexican sim cards and very affordable Mexico phone plans as a last resort; but would rather have my own phone number for contacts from tour companies hotels, etc.  Can not seem to find anything that works real well on the Telus WebSite.     Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Thank you....Problem solved.  Purchased a 1 week easy roam plan for one of our phones to manage communications with reservation etc.  For the 2nd phone all we needed was the plan where you only pay the day you use the phone.  This 2md phone only needs to be be used to communicate between the 2 phones if and when this ever becomes necessary.

      Thanks for the update dolezsar and reach out to us here anytime!

  • The least expensive way if you only want it just in case, no plans to use email/text/or voice calls is to do nothing and if needed just make the call. Leave phones turned off until needed. easy roam works great for a flat fee and if any item on your phone like email or text is used you are charged at a lower rate.

    For short travel like this, we recommend adding an Easy Roam which lets you use your existing TELUS number while abroad. You can review and add the best option directly through My TELUS or the My TELUS app under Mobility > Travel Options.
