AT&T connection is mostly non-existent in Mexico - I never saw it available in the Yucatan, and very unreliable elsewhere. Customer support very unhelpful, refused to refund, blamed my settings. Don't bother, jetpac for example worked instantly without issue.

Data was unusably slow in major cities (CDMX, Oaxaca), spikey throughput but sub 500kbps and unable to stream music. Support is all automated and has yet to get back to me.

Don't buy from Airhub. They sold me an eSIM for North America. But the IP address assigned was Polish, which means that all internet traffic was routed from NA to Poland and back - very poor performance. They don't tell you anything about this when you buy at the website. Don't use them.

Be sure to turn on the Data Roaming option for this service provider! I was frustrated when the eSIM didn’t work initially, but it worked perfectly after enabling Data Roaming. The Monty eSIM seems to be based in the UK, and the plan I chose has a Netherlands phone number, not a Mexico number. This means Data Roaming is necessary to use this eSIM and plan in Mexico. Keep this in mind and enjoy your journey!

It’s literally (Mexico) the worst eSIM product I have ever purchased. I have hardly any mobile internet anywhere, even in the capital Mexico City it’s worthless. And if there’s any, it’s so incredibly slow only WhatsApp works. Just a scam, so recommended to spend a bit more and go for a competitor.

Complete scam. You receive an esim that doesn’t even connect to the internet. Do NOT buy from them!

Very poor experience in Mexico city, even in the historical center the AT&T connection would always drop and completely lose signal.

Do yourself a favor a find a esim provider that uses Telcel exclusively.

Got Monty eSim's The World is Yours! 1GB / 7 Days for use in Oaxaca and it was complete trash. Couldn't even load Google Maps 95 % of the time while out and about in Centro. Complete waste of money.

Uses AT&T while in Mexico for roaming

doesn't really have consistent signal all the time or the speed. But works for the most part if you're in the more populated areas.

Activated no problem, but it rarely worked. When it did, it was incredibly slow. My friends who bought sims from Telcel had excellent internet. Nomad uses AT&T and almost never gets LTE, or when it does the lag is intense.

Truphone

Reneused in Mexico 🇲🇽

I just purchased the 3GB plan for 30 days and when I made the payment, Truphone activated the sim on my phone immediately since it asked me to download their app. It works well. Google Fi suspended my account since I haven't returned to America in more than 10 months and I won't be traveling back to America for a few more months and I wanted to get an eSim and this works well. Thank you for this website. I didn't give it 5 stars because I do wish they had more GB plans offered with Truphone. You can pay to add more data later though. So truly this company is really good and a quick simple fix for those on the go and can't go to a cell carrier store too. I took a screenshot of what it looks like on my phone.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Mexico?

In Mexico, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing infrastructure for mobile services are:

Telcel: The largest mobile operator in Mexico, offering extensive nationwide coverage and a wide range of services.
Movistar: A major telecommunications provider owned by Telefónica, offering mobile voice and data services across the country.
AT&T Mexico: A subsidiary of AT&T Inc., providing mobile services with a growing network presence in Mexico.

Additionally, Mexico hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), which offer mobile services by leasing access from these major carriers. Notable local MVNOs include Bait and FreedomPop. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Mexico?

Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS service are available for Mexico from several providers listed in the eSIMDB database. The most common options come from GlobaleSIM, Airalo, Roamify, and MoreMins eSIM. Each plan offers inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, with the dialing code indicating whether the number is local or foreign: Airalo’s plans use a +52 Mexican number, giving a local Mexican phone number; GlobaleSIM and Roamify provide numbers with the +1 dialing code, which is the North America code and not a Mexican local number; MoreMins eSIM offers a UK number with the +44 code.

Prices for these plans start around $5 for a 1 GB 7‑day plan and vary up to roughly $95 for a 10 GB 180‑day plan, while validity periods range from 3 days to 365 days. Travelers can thus choose a plan that best matches their data, voice, SMS, and duration needs, and still use local Mexican numbers when needed by selecting Airalo’s Chido packages.
