HOW TO MAKE A CALL IN LORETO

Making a simple telephone call has a complex range of possibilities and questions. Where is the call originating from and being directed? Are you using a landline or a cell phone? Is the call local or long distance? Not all cell services work in Loreto and currently ATT / Cingular has the best service from the USA. Inquire with your service provider to include a Mexico rate plan to have your phone operate here without roaming charges. Alternatively, you can buy a Telcel cell phone for less than $50 USD and buy minutes whenever you come to town. Here is a quick guide to making calls to and from Loreto.
