Figuring Out How to Use the Dang Phone Around Here!

You know you've graduated to "local" status when you have some semblance of an idea of how to make a phone call.  While it would be a seemingly simple task, Mexico has managed to make it infinitely confusing!!  So, here's a cheat sheet.  Print it out and put it on the fridge ;)

The important thing to know when making a call is whether the number you are calling is a landline or a cell phone.  This will dicate the way that you dial the number.  Note:  There is one caveat to really throw a wrench in the deal -- If it is a NEXTEL cell phone number you are dialing, you will treat the number as if it is landline, NOT a cell phone.

Landline to a Local Landline Number: 
Dial the 7 digit phone number

Landline to a  Local Cellular Number:
044 + Area Code + 7 Digit Number

Landline to a Long Distance Cellular Number:
045 + Area Code + 7 Digit Number

Landline to a  Long Distance Landline Number (in Mexico):
01 + Area Code + 7 Digit Number

Landline to a  Long Distance Landline Number (in USA/Canada):
001 + Area Code + 7 Digit Number

Cell Phone to a Local Landline Number:

Cell Phone to a  Local Cellular Number:

Cell Phone to a Long Distance Cellular Number:
045 + Area Code + 7 Digit Number

Cell Phone to a Long Distance Landline Number (in Mexico):
01 + Area Code + 7 Digit Number

Cell Phone to a Long Distance Landline Number (in USA or Canada):
001 + Area Code + 7 Digit Number

USA or Canada to a Cell Phone:
011 + 52 + 1 + Area Code + 7 Digit Number

Ongoing Collection of Goods for the Annual Charity Bazaar!

The folks at the El Mundo Para Puerto Morelos Charity do incredible work throughout the year.  There are a lot of fellow Puerto Morelians who support them, sponsor students through them, and participate in their events.

One of their annual fundraisers is a Bazaar, to be held March 13, 2010 in the town square from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.



You have the opportunity to help in several ways!

1. DONATE:  Collect any items that you would like to donate to the bazaar and drop them off at Catriona's House on 779 Calle Andres Quintana Roo.  They accept household goods, books, clothes, and just about anything that is re-saleable.  
2. VOLUNTEER:  They are looking for volunteers to help out the day of the Bazaar.
3. SHOP:  Come out to the bazaar on the 13th and find a great buy!  All of the proceeds go directly toward the charity!
