What to know before you land

Mexican prepaid SIMs are sold at OXXO convenience stores but require a CURP-equivalent ID for postpaid plans, and Telcel's coverage map in tourist zones can be misleading. An eSIM gives you instant data the moment you switch on your phone at Cancún, CDMX, or Los Cabos.

Best for: All-inclusive resort guests in Cancún and the Riviera Maya; CDMX foodies and Frida Kahlo museum-goers; surfers heading to Sayulita or Puerto Escondido; expats and digital nomads.

Local tip: Coverage in archaeological sites like Chichén Itzá and Palenque is good at the entrance but patchy deep inside the ruins — pre-load tour guides and translation apps.

Install and activate safely

  1. Confirm that your phone is carrier-unlocked and supports eSIM.
  2. Install the QR code while you still have reliable Wi-Fi.
  3. Keep the eSIM switched off until the plan instructions say to activate it.
  4. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and enable data roaming for that line if instructed.
  5. Keep your home SIM active only if you need calls or texts, and disable its data roaming.
