eSIM for Mexico

Buy a prepaid travel eSIM for Mexico and pay in cryptocurrency. You get local 4G/5G data on partner networks without a contract or a local address. No documents, no account and no email: you pay in crypto and the QR code appears on the page.

Part of our Latin America and North America plans.

Buying an eSIM for Mexico

Pick a plan that covers Mexico — a single-country plan is cheapest per gigabyte, a regional plan pays off the moment you cross a border.
Pay with USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL, TON or XMR. No email address, no account, no card.
Scan the QR that appears on the page. Do this at home over Wi-Fi rather than on airport Wi-Fi after landing.
On arrival, set the eSIM as your data line and turn data roaming ON for it. This is the single most common reason a correctly installed profile shows no data in Mexico.

Coverage and network quality in Mexico

Strong 4G/5G in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Cancún and the Riviera Maya; coverage thins in the mountains and the rural south.

Mobile data in Mexico: mostly a Telcel story

Telcel is by far the largest network in Mexico and the one with the best reach outside cities, including much of the Yucatán, Oaxaca and the highways between towns. AT&T México is the second network and strong in big cities. Movistar now runs its customers over AT&T's infrastructure. In Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Cancún or Tulum, data is fast on any of them. The differences appear on long bus rides and in small coastal villages.

Local lines in Mexico now have to be registered to a person: residents link the number to their CURP, visitors are asked for a passport. A prepaid travel eSIM works differently. It connects as a visiting line on Mexican networks, so there is no line to register, no store visit and no ID.

Which plan to pick for Mexico

One week: 1 to 3 GB.
Two weeks in the Yucatán with maps and photos: 5 to 10 GB.
Mexico plus the US or Canada: the North America plan. Mexico plus Colombia, Peru or Argentina: the Latin America plan.
Need calls and SMS: there is a Mexico plan with a number on the number page.

eSIM vs roaming vs a local SIM in Mexico

Roaming on your home plan is the expensive default — typically $10–15 a day, billed per day whether you use it or not.
A local prepaid SIM is cheap but costs you an hour on arrival, usually an ID, and a phone number you will not keep. In Mexico, that trade only makes sense on a long stay.
A travel eSIM sits in between: local-network speeds, no shop visit, no paperwork, and your own number stays live on your physical SIM for calls and SMS.

Compatible devices

Check your phone: dial *#06# and look for an EID. Model by model: the compatibility page.

Practical notes for Mexico

If your route goes beyond the resort corridors, download offline maps — rural coverage is uneven. For a trip that also takes in the USA or Canada, the North America plan covers all three on one profile.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to register a travel eSIM with a CURP or passport?

No. Registration applies to Mexican lines. A travel eSIM is a foreign line visiting Mexican networks, and we never ask for documents.

Does the eSIM work at cenotes and ruins?

Usually at the entrance and in the parking lot. Down in a cenote or deep in the jungle around some ruins, signal fades on every network, so save tickets and maps offline.

Which network will my phone use?

The eSIM connects to local partner networks and your phone picks the strongest signal, the same way a local phone does. You don't need to choose.
