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, Altán Redes, and AT&T. 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 $1.10 per GB, with 30 GB for 15 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 15 days at $11.99.
Do Mexico eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 15 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.

"Having 365-day packages is very good for me, I am a cabin crew member and I use it without any problems wherever I go. Sometimes it even works in places that are not on the list. I am very satisfied and will renew my package when it expires."

The cheapest eSIM app I’ve found so far. I thought I had made a mistake while installing the eSIM, so I contacted customer support. They replied to my email within just 3 minutes and helped me right away. I also had no problems with the internet connection. Overall, a great experience!

After 2–3 years of using the service, I encountered a problem for the first time. I can only praise the excellent technical support, which responded very quickly and with whom I exchanged several emails until the final resolution. Professionalism at its best!

I have used this app multiple times and have been really happy with the service. When I've had an issue I've been able to troubleshoot it with the online instructions and if that doesn't work it is quickly resolved.
