Newbie! Arriving 4/5 for house hunt!

For clarification, if one was to move to Mexico and have only a Mexico phone number, for example I walk up to a parts counter when I return to the US for supplies and say to the attendant to call me at my Mexico number 011 52 1 415 713 2687 when the part comes in and they at that point respond "yea right". Or drop by your aunt Jane's and say dear Aunt, you can now reach me by dialing (same number) but before you do that and perhaps risk the $3 US per minute charges that AT&T customers without Mexico access plans pay to call me, let's sit down evaluate your phone needs and work out a plan with them where you can call me for a new fee structure and plan and at that point you see Aunt Jane nodding off LOL.

Most people won't do anything that is not easy, and make that VERY easy :-) Well make that free and easy - people only do what is free and easy these days and maybe you need to throw in a good meal with that. And in fact make it a good meal. :-)

I do maintain a single phone number in the US that uses the VOIP service I previously spoke of and I can use their online portal to setup automatic transfer of the phone call to any number in any country I am visiting. I also have their SMS product enabled and when a bank or friend sends a SMS to my US number, it emails the SMS to me where ever in the world I might be. So you have to go to a little more effort to make things easy for people especially when you are out of the country where your friends and relatives reside.
