perhaps others can chime in here too. I will tell you what I do remember.
There is only one Telcel device/card. It is a USB "stick". You plug it in to one of your USB slots and it is like a modem. It connects you to wireless internet that runs off the cell towers I believe.
I am not exactly sure of the price but I think I spent around 75 dollars to purchase the actual stick and the internet time for the stick. I had a lot going on when I first moved to Rosa and it was a stressful time, and I actually paid with pesos, so my numbers could possibly be off.
There are no options or features you will need. Just go to the main Telcel store and ask for a person who speaks english (if you need that) and tell them you want the USB stick. The only options are how much time you put on. I can't remember which time card I bought but I can tell you that it runs out in a month and I did not come close to using it all even though my internet went out frequently. Often for more than a day at a time. You can keep track of the data you use and recharge it if you use your time up. If you use it strictly for poker, the data usage for stars is very low.
