I'm sure many have older phones still laying around when they've upgraded over the years. ATT will give you the unlock codes for your old locked ATT phone (GSM) if your contract has expired, or you've upgraded.
First timer to Rocky Point next week and have questions for the veterans

If you worry about your minutes expiring just put in a tiny amount, not sure what the minimum is but I saw a woman put 20 pesos on her phone. The phones are so cheap to buy and use everyone visiting with any frequency at all ought to have one, I think. You can get calls from the states if that's an issue.

We have a Verizon iphone 4s and I can verify that it works just fine everywhere in Rocky Point, no problems. There is no cell service from just south of Sonoyta to Rocky Point and that includes national carriers like telcel. Contact Verizon and request your phone be provisioned for international roaming. It's also important to update your roaming software before you leave home each trip. Disable data roaming before you cross the border.
The park has good wifi coverage.
The Reef has a great beach and attached is a photo from a recent stay in June.

Thanks for the recent picture, not had much luck finding any new ones on the internet. Looking forward to my first time in Rocky Point and the beach looks perfect!

Telcel most definitely works from Sonoyta to Rocky Point, 1000%! $10 telcel card is the way to go and the minute balance carries over for 3 months.

ATT or TMobile will work driving down from the border...you'll be picking up the GSM signal from the Telcel or Movistar towers. I pick up Telcel sometimes all the way up to the entrance to the Organ Pipe center on the US side.

Att works great all over Sonora, unlike verizon that does not work in Bazerac and other small towns.

Hi Everyone,
First, I want to thank all of you who shared information on where to eat, where to buy fish, cell phone coverage (Verizon 4G worked fine in Rocky Point), etc. The trip down was really easy with the slight exception of the detour through Sonoyta
The Reef RV park was great, not crowded, sites are big and we were right on the beautiful beach! Had no issues with hookups and the staff was very nice. Had a few beers at Capones and the best steamed clams! Bought shrimp and red snapper from a vendor across from Moon, my husband grilled, YUMMY!! Ventured into town a few times, stopped in for more beers at BooBar and haggled for key chains Spent sometime at Wrecked, great place, good music.
The sunsets were amazing, the water was warm and I can't wait to come back.
Only negative was trash on the beach, but we took bags with us on our morning walks and picked up what we could.
ROCKY POINT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!
