One can use coins for local calls; for long distance, the most convenient strategy is to buy a pre-paid phone card, available in most drugstores.

Cell phones, from cheap to expensive, are easily available; and again, one can buy pre-paid cards to use them. (As of 2010, if you buy a cell phone in Mexico you will have to register it, which can involve fingerprinting and presenting your passport.)
