Frequently Asked Questions

Mexico eSIM

Buy the Airlivo Mexico eSIM online, install it before you fly by scanning the QR code, then switch it on when you land in Cancún, Mexico City or Los Cabos. There's no physical SIM to collect and no registration — you're connected the moment the local network is detected.
The Airlivo Mexico eSIM connects to a major network such as Telcel or AT&T Mexico, with fast 4G/LTE and 5G in limited city areas. Telcel has by far the widest national coverage, so it's the most reliable choice for beaches, small towns and anywhere off the main highways.
Yes. The Cancún Hotel Zone, Playa del Carmen and Tulum have strong 4G/5G, and Telcel holds the best signal along the coastal highway toward the cenotes and smaller beaches. Coverage can drop deep inside cenotes, jungle sites and remote ruins, so download offline maps before day trips.
On Wi-Fi at home, open the email from Airlivo and scan the QR code to install the eSIM, leaving it switched off. When you land, turn on the eSIM line and enable data roaming. Installing before you fly means you're online the moment you leave the airport — handy for booking an Uber or your resort transfer.
Budget around 1 GB a day for maps, WhatsApp, social media and light browsing, so 5-7 GB suits a one-week beach or city trip. If you'll stream, upload lots of photos and videos, or use a hotspot, choose 10 GB or an unlimited plan. Resorts and cafés usually have Wi-Fi too.
Choose by trip length and usage: Airlivo Mexico data plans run from 1 GB up to 50 GB and unlimited. For a week in Cancún or Mexico City, 5-10 GB is a comfortable fit; a longer or heavier trip suits unlimited. A Telcel-based plan gives the best coverage away from the resorts. Buy and install before you fly.
A US-only eSIM does not cover Mexico — it stops at the border. For Mexico you need a Mexico plan, or, if your trip also includes the USA or Canada, an Airlivo North America regional eSIM that covers all three countries on one plan. Pick whichever matches your route before you travel.
No, it's data only and doesn't come with a Mexican number. WhatsApp is used almost universally here for calls and messages, so you'll stay in touch over your eSIM data, and your own number stays active on your main SIM for verification codes.
It works nationwide, so it activates as soon as you land at any Mexican airport — Cancún (CUN), Mexico City (MEX), Los Cabos (SJD), Guadalajara (GDL) and more. Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line after landing and you're online right away, ready to book a ride or message your hotel.
A tourist eSIM is the simplest option: you install it before the trip and it activates on landing, with no shop visit. A local Telcel SIM is cheap but means finding a shop and topping it up in Spanish. With the eSIM your home number also stays active on your main SIM.

Travel Tips

Mexico — Useful tips for your trip

1

Mexico's currency is the peso (MXN). Cards work in hotels, restaurants and shops in tourist areas, but carry cash (pesos) for markets, taxis, small eateries and tips. Pay in pesos rather than US dollars for better value, and use bank ATMs. A 10-15% tip (propina) is customary in restaurants.

2

In cities like Mexico City, Cancún and Guadalajara, Uber and DiDi are cheaper and safer than street taxis, with the fare set in the app. They run on your eSIM data. In small towns and some resort areas, apps may be limited, so agree a taxi price first.

3

Don't drink the tap water — stick to bottled or purified water, which is cheap and everywhere. Resorts usually provide it, and be a little cautious with ice and raw salads outside established restaurants, especially early in your trip.

4

Mexico uses 127V with Type A and B sockets — the same flat-pin plugs as the USA and Canada. Travellers from those countries need no adapter; others should bring one, and most modern chargers handle the voltage automatically.

5

WhatsApp is how almost everyone communicates in Mexico — hotels, tour operators, drivers and restaurants often prefer it to phone calls or email. Keep it set up on your phone; it runs on your eSIM data and makes arranging things much easier.

6

Sun and heat are strong on the coasts — carry water, wear reef-safe sunscreen and a hat, and hydrate. If you're visiting the Caribbean side (Cancún, Riviera Maya) between June and November, keep an eye on the weather, as it's hurricane season.

7

English is common in resort areas but limited elsewhere. Keep Google Translate handy on your eSIM and download offline maps for road trips and cenote or ruin day trips, where signal can disappear away from the main roads.

Mexico — Cancun, Mexico City, Oaxaca, Maya ruins at Chichén Itzá and one of the world's most diverse cuisines. Order your eSIM, get your QR code instantly, set up before you fly. Connected in CDMX, Guadalajara, Cancun and everywhere, no roaming.
