Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Mexico?
The cheapest Mexico eSIM on MobiMatter costs $3.99 for 1 GB, valid for 5 days. Prices come live from 7 vetted providers and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Mexico?
For most tourists and business travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Mexico plans start at $3.99 for 1 GB, and you install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data when you land, without queuing for a tourist SIM at the airport. If your home plan already covers Mexico at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Mexico eSIMs use?
Mexico eSIMs on MobiMatter run on Telcel, Movistar, AT&T, and Altan Redes. Every plan names its network, so you can choose the carrier you prefer before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Mexico?
Our best plan for Mexico right now is 30 GB for 30 days at $47.99 from TSimTech. We rank plans on quality and value for money, and this one comes first in the list. If price per GB is all that matters, the lowest right now is $1.50 per GB, with 20 GB for 30 days.
How much data do I need for a week in Mexico?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Mexico plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 30 days at $10.99.
Do Mexico eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 10 plans for Mexico, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Mexico eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Mexico plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Mexico eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except models sold in mainland China.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Mexico eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

"I have been using the Sparks eSim from MobiMatter for some time now and I won't be deleting it. Since then, I have traveled to Egypt, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Brazil, and Argentina. It was easy to install, and the reception has always been flawless!"

It's the most ideal in terms of usability and price. You don't have to deal with a SIM card. Regional packages are especially recommended.

"Before every trip, my internet solution is definitely Mobimatter. It has never let me down. I once found myself without internet in the middle of a trip with another brand. Now, I don't take any chances; I stick to what I know."

I bought two esims for two different countries because mobimatter has affordable prices. I had an issue connecting the second esim. The helpdesk responded fast. It turns out I was using the first eSIM instead of the second. Thanks for good data in both countries and for responding fast!

I highly recommend using MobiMatter’s eSIM! I had some problems activating it and couldn’t figure it out on my own, but the MobiMatter team helped me very quickly and explained everything clearly and in detail. Thanks a lot to their support, I was able to activate it and get connected. Great customer service! 😊
