Going to Mexico and found out my Sim card is no longer working
They said it was in active too long and canceled it

Now I need a place to find another at a fair price.

Any tips out there ?

US dealers like Cellular Abroad and Telestial usually carry these at an
inflated price. Perhaps someone on eBay is selling one more cheaply.

Last time I used one of these I discovered that domestic rates depend on
where the SIM card was **PURCHASED** rather than where it it used. Bought
one from Cellular Abroad when we went to Cancun. I later found out that
they had purchased the SIM in Mexico City, making domestic rates
from Cancun be charged as though I was calling from another area. Ouch.

I guess you want to use this SIM while in Mexico?

Maybe stating the obvious (or maybe the obvious is not possible)
but why not just buy the SIM while there?

I do this often when going to Spain. Just find a helpful shop and
buy it there?

No?
