Because the network in Mexico is owned and operated by an independent company, while PR, Guam, etc, are part of AT&Ts network. Basically, you don't have inter-carrier connection fees to call the other places you mentioned.

Because few Mexicans can afford telephones and thus there aren't many people to call?

PR and Guam are, basically, American soil.
Canada probably does not tariff calls from the US, while Mexico probably does.

BTW, few US companies offer free calling to Canada or you have to purchase a plan to cover that. At least with cell phones, rates are about the same to Canada as they are to Mexico.

Why all the 'Phone" companies offer 'free calls' to P.R.,Guam, Canada, all over USA...BUT---Not Mexico?

Mexico is not on the North America numbering plan and soaks the callers.

or wonder why about this:

according to the US department of state there is going ot be New Requirements for Travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada.

A passport or other secure, accepted document will be needed to enter or re-enter the United States by december 31, 2007 - Requirement extended to all land border crossings as well as air and sea travel.

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html

"This is a change from prior travel requirements and will affect all United States citizens entering the United States from countries within the Western Hemisphere who do not currently possess valid passports. This new requirement will also affect certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States. Most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and to a lesser degree, Mexican citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement. "

but note and worth repeating "to a lesser degree, Mexican citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement"
