Somewhat less convenient but as a plan B/reassurance, I can tell you that you will find that Mexico is littered with internet cafes and almost all of these have phones you can use as well.
On a deliberately off-the-beaten-track safari we had there a few years ago we found only one tiny tiny town (pop maybe 70?) that did not have internet access available. And we were in all sorts of places where the directions went "take this bus to the crossroads where there is a statue of the blessed virgin, wait 20 minutes and flag down the bus on the other road.. But don't miss it or there won't be another one until tomorrow." So if you are going any place that is any size at all, internet access and making phone calls will not be a problem. On the other hand, mailing anything time-sensitive could be a serious mistake -- I sent Ian some photocopies from Oaxaca (a big city, by the way) and that package took months.
