Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in Mexico and switches if the signal is better on another one. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Mexico trips often split between the capital and the Caribbean coast, with internal flights or long bus rides in between. Ride-hailing apps such as Uber and DiDi are widely used in the cities and some resort towns, and maps help in the centres of Mexico City and Oaxaca.

Coverage is good in cities and along the Riviera Maya. In the cenotes and caves of the Yucatán there is no signal underground, and remote parts of Chiapas, the Copper Canyon and the desert roads of Baja California have long gaps.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

  • Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
  • Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

We check it against the list of eSIM phones. Nothing is saved.

Mexico eSIM questions

Will it work in Tulum and at the cenotes?

In Tulum and along the main road, yes. At the cenotes the signal often stops at the entrance, and there is none underground, so save directions back before you go in.

Is it worth it for an all-inclusive resort stay?

If you stay on the resort, its Wi-Fi may be enough. An eSIM helps for airport transfers, excursions and days out in Playa del Carmen or Tulum, where you need maps and messages away from the hotel.

Can I use it in the United States too?

A Mexico plan works only in Mexico. For a trip that crosses the border, a North America regional plan covers Mexico, the United States and Canada on one eSIM.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in Mexico. Install it within 180 days of buying.
