I haven't decided yet on if i need a phone, but i know for sure i will not
be wanting tv/satellite/cable as i have been living without that for
several years now, and have not missed it.

You can get internet/cable and telephone for $650 peso a month(about 55usd). That what I pay with megacable.

I might buy myself a scooter though. Are they expensive to maintain in mexico?
If so, i am willing to rely on public transportation, as i may like exploring, but
generally want to stay away from the big cities like mexico city.

They are a great way to get around. I had one for along time when I first got down here. You can buy a new one for $1000dls usd, and used runs about 500 dls. They are very cheap to maintain. Just by a brand that has a lot of support in your area. Like honda scooter stores are everywhere here in guad.

I actually recommend spending 6 months in different towns and women
. That way to get a taste of different place each time. Granted, you won't be able to leave behind a scooter each time. Or maybe you can you can sell it a week before you leave and get your money back.

I used to think that myself.
Then I realized there are things that I just can't live without after a while. Satellite TV or cable and internet for one. I'm not ready to tune out of the whole world yet. I like to know what goes on in real time.
