Data for Mexico City, the Yucatán and the coasts, installed before you fly. One package across the country, so a bus between states is not a new problem to solve.
The Mexico plan covers Mexico only.
The same 10 GB in a package that keeps working past Mexico.
16 other countries share the package with Mexico. A few of them:
What's included, when it starts, and how to get connected.
The capital sits higher than most European ski resorts. Expect to be out of breath on stairs for the first two days, drink more water than usual, and go easy on alcohol on the first night. It also means the evenings are cool all year.
ADO and its competitors run reclining-seat coaches between cities that are more comfortable than most European trains, and book online. Domestic flights cover the long distances cheaply. Within cities, Uber and DiDi are widely used and usually cheaper than a street taxi.
Markets, street food, small towns and *colectivo* minibuses are cash. Tipping is 10–15% in restaurants and a few pesos for a packer at the supermarket. ATMs attached to banks are safer and cheaper than the standalone ones in tourist strips.
Hotels and restaurants use purified water for ice and for washing produce; buy bottled or refill from the *garrafón*. Street food is not the risk it is made out to be — pick a stall with a queue and high turnover.
Coverage follows the main networks: comprehensive in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, along the Riviera Maya and in the colonial cities, and good on the toll highways. The gaps are in the Sierra, in parts of Oaxaca and Chiapas, and on the smaller roads — download the route before a long drive.
Mexico is on the Americas plan, so the same eSIM and the same allowance carry into Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and the rest of the list without a second package.
Answers about data, coverage and setup for Mexico.
Coverage follows the local networks wherever they reach — cities, transport corridors and most rural areas. Remote mountain and island areas can have weaker signal on any carrier.
No. onesim is installed before you travel, with nothing to register when you land. Turn on the onesim line for mobile data and you are connected.
Installing the eSIM does not start the clock. Your package starts the first time the eSIM connects to a network in a country it covers, even while mobile data is off. Install at home over Wi-Fi and keep the onesim line switched off until you arrive; if your home country is covered too, the package would start the moment the line connects there.
Yes. Your account has one onesim eSIM, and you refill it with any regional package from anywhere in the world — from the website or the app. The new package is added to the eSIM already on your phone; there is nothing to install again.
