Telephones in Acapulco, Mexico

Telephones in Acapulco

The telephone situation in Mexico can be flabbergasting, even for natives. I should say especially for natives because they are the ones that must feed Mexico's massive telephone monopoly, Telmex, a sizable portion of their hard earned wages each month.

After procrastinating for weeks on the research for Real Acapulco's telephone page, I finally decided I would have to bite the bullet and make it into several pages because there was just too much info. I just hope all my research doesn't become obsolete before I'm done.
