“I bought 10Gb for 7 days but was given unlimited for 3 days. For some reason I was switched.

This is bad. This is incorrect marketing and a switch during the checkout process. I will never purchase from your company again.

Data speed was not good either.”

Airalo Mexico

“I have used Airalo in about 20 countries and I was quite satisfied mostly. In Mexico though, they are useless unless you stay in the biggest cities. They connect to Movistar network in there and if you plan to travel around, it is absolutely useless with no coverage in most places where other providers have a good signal. ”

Airhub Mexico

“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.”

Breeze Mexico

“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.”

Airhub Mexico

“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.”

GoMoWorld Mexico

“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.”

Airhub Mexico

“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.”

Nomad Mexico

“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. ”

Nomad Mexico

“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 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.”
