A good internet connection is all you need to make and receive VoIP calls,
wherever you are. Neither Google nor Sipgate is going to charge you for calls
within the U.S. and Canada. However, if you forward calls to your cell, you'll
incur roaming charges and it's going to be painful.
If you're going to use 3G data plan in Mexico as your internet connection, it's
also a pain.
So, you'll need to find a WiFi hotspot or buy a local prepaid SIM-card with
unlimited (or cheap rate) dataplan, if they have any.

Mike, she's on Sprint and can't put in a local SIM.
Mishka, as I've stressed a couple of times.. it is critical that you learn how
to shut off your cellular radio but leave your wifi on. So you can't go into
airplane mode because that will also shut off your wifi. The best way to make
absolutely sure that you will only make calls over wifi and not risk making
calls over the (very expensive) cellular network is to learn how to turn off
your cellular radio but leave the wifi on. Unfortunately on Sprint there is no
SIM to pull out of the phone, so you can't guarantee you are not using the
cellular network without going into the menus.
Once again, make sure you learn how to turn off your cellular radio but leave
your wifi on. You WILL run up charges if you don't turn off your cellular radio.
