    Ordinarily I think the cheapest way to do this would be to get a free PAYG sim card on Camel with Orange, which offers cheap calls when you're abroad. However, I've just scanned down the list of countries included in the range for Camel and Mexico isn't on there. In which case it might be best to give Orange a ring on 150 and see if they have any suggestions. I'm sure that if they do have an option for it it would be cheaper than buying a sim card in Mexico, as the international rates on that could well be outrageous. If Orange don't cover Mexico perhaps another option would be to look at getting an international phone card? I haven't used one of those in a long time, but they tend to offer good value.
