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 most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
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.

Awesome service. I have traveled back-and-forth between the United States and the Philippines and this app has not let me down. I strongly suggest that you check your data roaming option so this way you don’t mess up what you need to do.

MobiMatters came highly recommended in family-oriented travel groups on social networks, when I was researching on travel eSIMs for Iceland. The first package I started with was a US + Europe - it was easy to activate before leaving home (and verifying), and then continue on landing in Reykjavik. Unthinkable speeds (given we are used to Verizon and TMobile in the US) - over 400 Mbps on the Fast app! Unlimited tethering options allowed me to use across my MacBook and phone, as well as share across the family with the kids on iPads and phones. Navigation on Google and Waze was aa breeze with the constant high speed data connectivity. Our plans did not support phones (we knew this) but with WhatsApp and FaceTime allowing audio and video calls we never felt the need for basic phone service. Customer service on email was responsive and helpful when I wanted to understand how top-ups work. Highly recommend MobiMatters - I’m on my third top-up as we speak!

Excellent service and amazing customer support! I’m really impressed with how helpful, responsive, and professional the support team is. They answered all my questions clearly and patiently, and I always received a quick response whenever I needed assistance. It’s rare to find such reliable and caring customer service. I feel much more confident using the service knowing that help is available whenever I need it. Highly recommended! 😊
