Mexico's mobile infrastructure is dominated by Telcel, which covers more than 94% of the population with 4G/LTE and operates the country's most extensive 5G rollout in major cities. AT&T Mexico provides strong competition in northern cities and US border regions, while Movistar complements coverage in the Yucatán Peninsula. Tourist zones in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Los Cabos all have reliable 4G. Oaxaca City and colonial highland towns are well-covered in urban centers, though surrounding mountain areas may drop to 3G. Beach towns along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts typically have adequate LTE at hotels and major attractions. Ferry crossings to Cozumel and Isla Mujeres have connectivity at ports; open-water crossings may drop briefly.
Plan size
How much data do you need?
Pick your travel style and trip length — we'll suggest the right Mexico plan, no guessing.
Yes. The Riviera Maya has excellent 4G coverage from Cancún through Playa del Carmen to Tulum. Remote cenotes and jungle areas may have weaker signals.
Does this cover all 31 Mexican states?
Yes. Telcel's network covers all 31 states and Mexico City. Northern border cities, Pacific coast, and Gulf coast all have solid 4G.
Is Mexico City (CDMX) well-covered?
Yes. Mexico City has comprehensive 4G/LTE and 5G coverage throughout the city, including the Metro system and most subway lines.
Can I use my eSIM in Cuba on a stopover?
No. Cuba is excluded from all Flysimio plans due to international restrictions. Your eSIM will not activate in Cuba.
Is this cheaper than airport SIM cards in Mexico?
Yes, significantly. Airport SIM vendors at Cancún and CDMX charge 3–5× the local rate. Flysimio connects to the same Telcel network at wholesale-adjacent pricing.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.

Best eSIM for travel to Mexico
The best Mexico eSIM combines wide coverage, honest pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio runs on Telcel, AT&T Mexico, and Movistar — with Telcel covering more than 94% of the country, from Mexico City to Cancún, Tulum, and Los Cabos — plus 5G in the major cities. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no roaming bill shock: choose your data, pay once, done. Your QR code arrives by email seconds after checkout and installs in under a minute, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and a 7-day money-back guarantee has you covered. It's the easy way to skip the tourist-priced airport SIM stands at Cancún or CDMX and land already connected.
How to set up a Mexico eSIM (step by step)
Getting online in Mexico takes about two minutes. First, confirm your phone supports eSIM — iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your Mexico plan on Flysimio and pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; your QR code arrives by email within seconds. On Wi-Fi before you fly, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it — a manual code is included too. Keep your home line as default until arrival. When you land at Cancún, Mexico City, or Los Cabos, your Flysimio line connects automatically to a Mexican network — no kiosk, no physical SIM, no queue.
How much data do you need in Mexico?
Most travellers over-buy. For maps, messaging, and email, roughly 300 MB a day is plenty, so a 3–5 GB plan covers a week on the Riviera Maya comfortably. Add social media, photos, and music and you'll want about 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip from Mexico City to the beaches. Heavy streamers, video callers, and anyone tethering a laptop should plan for 1.5 GB or more per day or choose an unlimited daily plan. Not sure? The calculator above matches your travel style and trip length to a size, and you can top up mid-trip if you run low.
Using a Mexico eSIM on iPhone and Android
Flysimio runs as a second line beside your usual SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your Mexican data flows over the eSIM — standard dual-SIM behaviour on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones from 2018. After installing, set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and turn on Data Roaming for that line only; it simply lets the eSIM connect to Mexican networks, with no roaming fees. Keep your home SIM on for messages and calls, or switch it off to avoid your own carrier's charges. If you're unsure about your model, the compatibility page confirms it before you buy.
Hotspot, calls, and texts on a Mexico data eSIM
Every Flysimio Mexico plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra cost and without throttling, so you can tether a laptop or tablet or share with a travel companion and use your full allowance freely. As a data-only eSIM it has no Mexican phone number, but that rarely matters: WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger, and Google Meet handle calls and messages over data, and your home number stays reachable on your primary SIM. You stay connected from the capital to the coast without the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.
Short Mexico trips vs. long stays
For a long weekend in Cancún or a quick business trip to Mexico City, a small 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the most economical choice. For a two-week trip across the Yucatán or a longer stay, a 10–20 GB plan or an unlimited daily option lets you navigate, stream, and share without watching a meter. Because Flysimio gives you six months to activate, you can buy before you leave and the validity only starts when your eSIM first connects in Mexico. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan stops when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy for your next trip.
