Author Telcel sim help needed for Mexico

Going to Mexico and found out my Sim card is no longer working
They said it was in active too long and canceled it

Now I need a place to find another at a fair price.

Any tips out there ?

US dealers like Cellular Abroad and Telestial usually carry these at an
inflated price. Perhaps someone on eBay is selling one more cheaply.

Last time I used one of these I discovered that domestic rates depend on
where the SIM card was **PURCHASED** rather than where it it used. Bought
one from Cellular Abroad when we went to Cancun. I later found out that
they had purchased the SIM in Mexico City, making domestic rates
from Cancun be charged as though I was calling from another area. Ouch.

I guess you want to use this SIM while in Mexico?

Maybe stating the obvious (or maybe the obvious is not possible)
but why not just buy the SIM while there?

I do this often when going to Spain. Just find a helpful shop and
buy it there?

No?
