Travelling to Mexico with a Bell Iphone and BB - charges

[malibuski]

Heading to Mexico on Sat for 2 weeks, want to take my iphone for txting and my daughter wants to take BB.
We can both use wireless in the lobby.

What is the best way to do this with out crazy charges?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

BBM/Email will work fine over Wi-Fi at no extra cost on the bill (you may need to pay extra to the hotel). Texting uses the local mexican network and you will be charged the international roaming rate for your rate plan (call and find out)

Do !NOT! Call home using the hotel phone, unless you are using the Canada Direct number...

The resort we stayed at in Cabo, charged $6US/min for a direct dial call to Canada!

Roaming at $1.50/min seems cheap in comparison!
