Mexico City is enormous and mostly flat, which makes it feel walkable in a way that catches people out: neighbourhoods that look adjacent on a map are an hour apart on foot. Nearly everyone moves by metro or by app, and both want a phone that is online.
Expect data for ride-hailing across long distances, for finding your way around Roma Norte, Condesa and the centro, and for the reservations that the better-known kitchens now take only online. The same eSIM covers the rest of Mexico if you head for the coast.
This is an eSIM for Mexico. It works everywhere in the country, Mexico City included — there is no Mexico City-only plan, and you would not want one. See all Mexico plans

FAQs for your travel eSIM
Is this eSIM only for Mexico City?
No. It is an eSIM for Mexico, and it works across the whole country, Mexico City included. That is deliberate: plans are sold per country, so you stay connected when you leave Mexico City instead of losing data at the edge of town.
Will my phone work with the Mexico City eSIM?
Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our Mexico City travel eSIM. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.
When does the Mexico City eSIM start counting?
Validity starts the moment your travel eSIM connects to a network in Mexico City, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.
Do I keep my regular number while using the Mexico City eSIM?
Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The Mexico City eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps and apps all run on your eSIM data.
Can I tether or use a hotspot in Mexico City?
Yes, every Mexico City eSIM plan allows tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share your eSIM data with a laptop or another device.
What happens if I run out of eSIM data in Mexico City?
Top it up from your account: open the eSIM and tap Top up. The extra data is added to the same eSIM — no new QR to scan and no shop to visit. If your plan doesn't support top-ups or has already expired, buy a new Mexico City plan instead.
Is the Mexico City eSIM refundable?
If you haven't installed your eSIM (installing means scanning the QR) or activated it, and the plan hasn't expired, we refund it in full: contact support with your order number. Once it is installed or activated it can't be refunded because you changed your mind — but if it isn't working, contact us and we'll sort it out.
