A Mexico eSIM costs from $6.47 (3GB for 20 days) to $31.70 (20GB for 30 days) and runs on AT&T and Telcel with 5G. There's also an unlimited plan at $5.82 a day, for 3 to 90 days. Validity starts on your first connection in Mexico, not on the day you buy, and your home number stays active for WhatsApp. You can share data over hotspot. Plans are data only; calls go through WhatsApp or other apps.
Most travelers in Mexico split their time between the Yucatán Peninsula (Cancún, Tulum, Playa del Carmen and the cenotes) and Mexico City and Oaxaca. The plan runs on Telcel and AT&T, with 5G.

What should I know before a trip to Mexico?
In Mexico City many travelers book rides through Uber, which operates in the city, so having data from the moment you leave the airport saves dealing with taxis.
Inside cenotes and at remote archaeological sites in the Yucatán, signal can be weak. The plan's IP exits through Singapore, so some sites will show Singapore content.

Which networks does the eSIM use in Mexico?
Telcel and AT&T, both with 5G according to the provider.
Does the plan work in both Cancún and Mexico City?
Yes. The plan covers all of Mexico. In remote parts of the Yucatán and inside cenotes, signal is weaker.
Can I continue to the United States with this plan?
No. The plan covers Mexico only. The United States has its own plan on the site.
Are eSIM, digital SIM, and virtual SIM all the same thing?
Yes. An eSIM (also called a digital SIM or virtual SIM) is a SIM with no physical component, installed on your device by scanning a QR code instead of inserting a card. You use it exactly like a regular SIM for data abroad, without hunting for a SIM kiosk at your destination.

Most smartphones released in the last five years support eSIM. We recommend checking your device settings, or looking up your phone model in the FlySim compatibility checker. Open the compatibility checker
