Roger - If you need an explanation, you don't have the phone Ken's looking
for!
Ken - I am in Kenya at the moment (for three more days, then in NJ) - if you
want, I can buy you one here. The cheapest, simplest unlocked phone is
around $25, I think - but there may be issues about adaptors. Is Mexican
current 110 or 220? If 220, you're fine, I'm not sure ones sold here will
charge on 110 current. I'd need to get you a plug adaptor too - another $5
or so.
Let me know if you're interested - ASAP, as I leave Friday night. Sounds
like Karl's suggestion of ebay may be easier.
Joy
