Ok so I am back (more or less) from Mexico, the Knowroaming experience has been excellent - at least until Friday 1 pm Mexico time when the phone got a NO SERVICE message. Now that I am in Houston its back, but the last three days have been blacked out.
In a nutshell over the past week, I called Canada, called Europe, spoke to clients in Mexico and LatAM, sent email, used Google map to find restaurants and various destinations, the bill for the week $24.71. Not bad really if you consider the number of foreign calls I made. I didn't activate my "new voicemail" apparently its easy. Before I forget, they use a call back system to reduce the cost of overseas' calls. You dial the number you want and it calls you back within 15 seconds
My verdict is that the technology works fine, its somewhat complicated to set up but really worth the effort because the costs are just amazingly low.
Also the service from Knowroaming has been spectacular -- Saturday at 7 pm local time (9PM Toronto) I was in contact with a technical desk -- they tried and figured out this morning (when the could talk to Movistar -- the cell provider that the problem was at their end.
