Hi,

you think that your Mesh->number is the mesh that Mathematica use but
this is not the case as to see from

plt = Plot[Sign[x], {x, -5, 5}, Mesh -> 3, PlotRange -> All];
coords = plt[[1]] /.
    GraphicsComplex[pnts_, dta_, ___] :> (
      pnts[[#]] & /@ Cases[dta, _Line, Infinity][[1, 1]] );

Show[plt,
  Prolog -> {RGBColor[1, 0, 0], Text["\[EmptyCircle]", #] & /@ coords}]

Regards
   Jens
