eSIM, local SIM or pocket Wi-Fi in Mexico?
A local SIM is often cheaper per GB. The difference is where you get it and what it asks for. Prices from each operator’s own page, read 23 Oct 2026.

Before you land in Mexico
Our Mexico plan uses Telcel or AT&T, the two largest networks. Mexico's new line registration rule is about Mexican SIM cards; the details are below.
6 things to know, each with its source
- Telcel had 58.9% of Mexico's mobile lines, AT&T 16.2%, Movistar 14.7% and Bait 5.9% in Q2 2025, the regulator's latest published split. Xataka México, citing the CRT
- In Q2 2026 Telcel's 4G reached about 95% of Mexico's population and AT&T's about 92%, by CRT estimates; these figures count people, not land area. Xataka México, citing El Economista and the CRT
- Every Mexican mobile line must now be linked to its owner's ID, and a line not linked by its deadline is suspended except for emergency calls. CRT
- The regulator said in May 2026 that visitors roaming on a line from another country do not have to register, while a Mexican SIM bought by a foreigner is registered with a valid passport. Expansión, citing the CRT
- Mexico's regulator notes that international agreements bar permanent roaming, so operators cut off long-term use of a foreign line; a travel eSIM suits a trip, not a move. CRT
- Mexico City airport (AICM) has free Wi-Fi in both terminals (#AICM_FREE_WIFI): accept the terms and browse for two hours, then accept again. Milenio

Questions
What is the best eSIM for Mexico?
For most trips, 5 GB for 30 days is enough: $10.90 here, against $13.00 at Airalo for the same data (read 3 Nov 2026). It is data only and needs no app: the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email. Every brand's price for Mexico, dated and sourced, is on our comparison page.
Which Mexico eSIM for a month?
Every one of these lasts 30 days: 3 GB $6.90, 5 GB $10.90, 10 GB $18.90, 20 GB $32.90, 50 GB $116.89. The 30 days start when the eSIM first connects to a network there, so you can buy before the trip.
Can I buy a Mexico eSIM without an app?
Yes. You pay on this page and the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email: no app and no account. It is data only, with no phone number, so your home SIM keeps your calls and SMS.
Does the Mexico eSIM come with a phone number?
No. It is data only: no local number, calls or SMS on this eSIM. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts (your carrier's roaming rates apply to them), and WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal calls run over the eSIM's data. If you need a local number in Mexico, for example for a service that texts a code, buy a local SIM there.
Which Mexico eSIM for a week or two?
For 7 days: 1 GB $3.39. The 30-day packs cover one or two weeks too: 3 GB $6.90, 5 GB $10.90.
Will WhatsApp keep my number with a Mexico eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp stays on your home number: this eSIM is data only and has no number. Leave your home SIM in the phone with its data roaming off, use the Mexico eSIM for mobile data, and do not re-register WhatsApp.
