You probably already know you can’t call US 800 numbers from Mexico, but did you know you actually can?
You just need to know the correct Mexican equivalent. You will still be charged, but if you need to contact a company which only gives an 800 number, this might help.
For 800, dial 880. For 877, dial 882. For 888 dial 881. For 886, dial 883.
Sorry, but no ideas about those pesky 900 numbers.
HTH!
