eSIM for Mexico City
Your days start when you land, not when you pay
- Installs in minutes
- Keep your number
- Hotspot included
- No roaming fees
- Secure payment with Stripe
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

Frequently asked questions
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 eSIMs. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.
When does the Mexico City eSIM start counting?
Validity starts the moment the 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 keep working.
Can I tether or use a hotspot in Mexico City?
Yes, all our Mexico City plans allow tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share data with a laptop or another device.
What happens if I run out of data in Mexico City?
You can buy a new plan for Mexico City at any time and install it on top of the previous one. No need to wait or visit a shop.
Is the Mexico City eSIM refundable?
If you have not installed or activated the eSIM yet, contact our support and we will issue a refund. Once the QR has been scanned and the eSIM activated, it cannot be refunded because you changed your mind — but if it isn't working, contact us and we'll sort it out.
