Los Angeles Verdes (The Green Angels)

I'm trying to contact The Green Angels in San Quintin, Baja California Del Norte, Mexico. The Baja is a maddening sort of place, where the internet doesn't really mesh with the 3rd world hell that is the baja desert.

I found an email address for Los Angeles Verdes on a tourismo website promoting Baja California:


http://www.sectur.gob.mx/wb/secturing/sect_eng_angeles_verdes

angelesverdes@sectur.gob.mx

But that didn't work, of course. Returned as undeliverable.


This site has some phone numbers for the Green Angels, at least:

http://www.discoverbajacalifornia.com/green-angels.php

01-800-990-3900 Tijuana, Ensenada & El Hongo toll roads
1-800-888-0911 Tijuana, Tecate toll roads


http://www.car-insurance-for-mexico.com/green-angels.htm

If for some reason you need assistance call "060" (Mexico's version of 911) or pull to the side of the road and lift your hood, this will signal the Green Angels that you need assistance or contact them Toll Free 24 hours seven days a week at:

Baja California Highways Emergency Toll Free Numbers:
• 01 800 990 3900: Tijuana - Ensenada & El Hongo - La Rumorosa Toll Roads
• 01 800 888 0911: Tijuana - Tecate Toll Road

You can dial this numbers from any conventional or cell phone; they will direct emergency assistance to you including towing services to the nearest tollgate or mechanic in the area.

So, it looks like these numbers (above) would probably work if you were in Mexico. However, I'm not in Mexico. So, I think I need to dial something like 011-52-ten digits.
011-52-

011-52-800-990-3900 (indecipherable - didn't go through)
011-52-800-888-0911 (indecipherable - didn't go through)

But both of these numbers are a little too far north. We're looking for something closer down to San Quintin.

02-684-9715 or 02-684-9761

I can't figure how these "02" numbers (above) are supposed to work.

Here we go:

But the main 24-hr Green Angels HQ number in Mexico City at 011 52 55 5250 8221 (from US) covers the whole country. That should work from a satphone (or +52 55 5250 8221 if it uses a mobile-style international access code).

Calling Mexico from the United States:

011 - US exit code; dial first for international calls made from the USA or Canada
52 - Country Code for Mexico
Phone Number - 10 digits, area code included
sample call from US to a landline in Mexico City: 011 52 55 ???? ????
to call a cell phone add digit 1 after 52

011-52-02-684-9716
