eSIM for Mexico
Plans from $2.76 per day
Mexico
Mexican coverage spans Telcel, AT&T Mexico, and Movistar, delivering good 5G in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey and strong coverage across the Caribbean beach belt of Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum.
An eSIM is the simplest option for short visits: Telcel SIMs require ID for activation and airport kiosks mark up well above local rates. Landing with data already configured keeps rideshare, lodging, and tour bookings running from arrivals, and hotspot support covers a tablet or a travel partner.
Plan around terrain in the south: coverage is solid along the coasts and in cities but can drop to 3G around Yucatán cenotes and in rural Oaxaca and Chiapas. A slightly larger plan keeps offline-map downloads and messaging steady on day trips. Install ahead and activate on first connection to a Mexican network.

Why eSIM here, not a local SIM
Telcel SIMs require an ID for activation, and tourist SIM kiosks at major airports markup significantly above local rates.
Free Wi-Fi: Common. 5G coverage is good in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and major beach destinations (Cancún, Playa del Carmen). Yucatán cenote areas and rural Oaxaca may drop to 3G.

Common questions about Mexico
When does my plan's validity start in Mexico?
Validity starts when your eSIM first connects to a local Mexico network, that's usually as soon as you land and switch off airplane mode. Installing the eSIM at home days before your trip doesn't burn any days.
Can I use my phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot in Mexico?
Yes, all Esim70 plans support tethering by default with no separate daily cap. Your phone can share its data connection with a laptop, tablet, or travel companion's phone.
Will my home number still work in Mexico?
Yes, modern phones support dual-SIM. Your home SIM stays active for calls and SMS while the Esim70 eSIM handles data abroad. You can keep WhatsApp / iMessage tied to your home number too.
