Just for the
hell of it
| iMessage will work fine even without phone service if you're on WiFi. I've used this feature many times overseas. You can also make a facetime call with wifi if you have no service. If the internet is slow you can do facetime without video to talk to others with an iPhone.

| I just checked with my carrier Tmobile. My plan includes free unlimited calling/texts and 5GB of data. No too shabby.

| Yes, iMessage works over the internet. We used it while in Ireland on our honeymoon. I called AT&T and had them put us on a temp international plan for data for the time we were there, I forget what size data bucket it was, but it wasn’t a whole lot so we tried to use Wi-Fi as much as possible. That was 2012 so things may be different now. It was kind of cool/weird to get off of the plane and turn my phone on in Dublin airport and see “O2” come up where “ATT” would on the screen.

| I would suggest going to your carrier's website and look up international calling and data plans. Mexico usually has a lower cost package for you to use compared to other foreign countries where you have a set amount of data plan. One caution though if you buy an international data plan, some countries your data meter keeping going even if you're not using it. So prevent this, you have to put your phone in airplane mode.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
