Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Mexico travel data guide
A Mexico eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Mexico that you install before you fly. Plans in Mexico run on Telcel and AT&T, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 19 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $3.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The North America eSIM covers Mexico and 2 other countries on one plan, from $2.99. The Global eSIM covers Mexico and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Mexico, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Mexico from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Mexico FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Mexico?
It connects wherever Telcel and AT&T have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Mexico, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Mexico?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Which networks does the Mexico eSIM use?
The Mexico eSIM uses Telcel or AT&T, depending on the plan. Both operators are listed with 5G and the plans are sold as 4G/5G. If one of them matters to you, the plan details name the operator before you buy.
Is 10 GB enough for a month in Mexico?
10 GB for 30 days in Mexico is about a third of a gigabyte per day. That covers maps and messaging with some browsing, as long as video waits for WiFi. If you stream or share data with a laptop, the 50 GB plan or unlimited for 30 days is a better fit.
Does the Mexico eSIM work in the United States too?
No, the Mexico plan works in Mexico only. For a trip that includes the United States, choose the North America plan, which covers Mexico, the United States and Canada. Like the Mexico plans, it allows hotspot on every plan.
When should I install my Mexico eSIM?
Install your Mexico eSIM a day or two before you leave, while you have WiFi at home. Installing early costs nothing, because the days only start at the first connection to a network in Mexico. Keep the eSIM line switched off until you land.
Does my phone need to be unlocked for a Mexico eSIM?
Yes, the phone must be carrier unlocked and must support eSIM for the Mexico plan to work. A phone that is still locked to your home carrier will refuse the new line. Ask your carrier if you are not sure, and check the model on the compatible devices page.
Can I use hotspot in Mexico?
Yes, all Mexico plans allow hotspot. You can connect a laptop or share with someone you are travelling with. On an unlimited plan the shared data counts toward the daily full speed amount, so two people on one plan will reach it sooner.
Can I add more data to a Mexico plan?
On some Mexico plans you can, through a top up, and the plan details show whether it is offered. On plans without top up, the way to get more is to buy a new plan. Unlimited plans do not need it, since data continues at up to 1 Mbps after the daily amount.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
