ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.  -  Courtesy of the Ventana View -
Oct.22....I just came down from Mexicali to just south of Bahia San Luis Gonzaga over the past weekend. Ten or so miles south of Bahia San Luis Gonzaga you have to make the overland trek over 24 miles of brutal dirt/rock road. to connect up at Chapala Jct. Hwy 5 is pretty decent but between Puertecitos and Bahia San Luis Gonzaga be very aware of the notices for VADO's some can be brutal and you will see where a lot of cars have bottomed out in them This is now my third time taking this route, and providing you allow yourself 2 hours for the 24 miles or dirt/rock you are good to go. Hwy 5 itself is pretty much good for the first 150 miles, then just another Mexican bitumen road until you get just north of Bahia San Luis Gonzaga, when it becomes a great road again but only for 10 miles when you hit the dirt.

b.  Cell Phones:  Regarding cell phones. If you have AT&T in the States, your phone will now default to Nextel instead of Telcel (because, apparently, AT&T has some sort of contract agreement with Nextel). Nextel is not fully compatible with AT&T so many of the functions that work perfectly when using Telcel as the carrier will not function if you are connected to Nextel.
I contacted AT&T International at 916-843-4685 and they were able to solve this problem for me using an IPhone. Don’t know if this is an issue with other types of phones.
They can send you the option to choose your carrier. It shows up in the Settings under Cellular AFTER YOU TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND TURN IT BACK ON. It is called Carrier. You click on this, turn off Auto. the phone will search available carriers. You can manually select Telcel and all phone functions will magically start working. Or at least they did on my phone.
Hope this helps, Martha Macnab
