eSIM for Mexico

Yes. Mexico's networks support travel eSIMs, and Firsty runs on any unlocked eSIM phone, from the iPhone XS onwards and on most recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. Install it at home on Wi-Fi and it connects when you land.

The best eSIM plans available in Mexico cater to various data needs. Firsty offers both free and paid plans for seamless connectivity. With Firsty Free, you get ad-supported data for basic internet use. For heavy data users needing high-speed internet for streaming and video calls, Unlimited is perfect, especially in bustling cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey.

Not with Firsty. Since 2026, Mexican prepaid lines need passport or CURP registration, or they get cut off. Foreign travel eSIMs that roam on Mexican networks are exempt, so there's nothing to register and no selfie check.

Firsty’s eSIM for Mexico offers unlimited data through Firsty Free, allowing you to use essential apps like WhatsApp, Email, and Navigation without any cost. For high-speed internet and more data-intensive activities, you can upgrade to Classic or Unlimited. This plan also lets you pause the service, ensuring you get the most value from your data without waste, especially when traveling between cities like Cancún and Tijuana. Saving data can also come in handy in case of emergencies, ensuring you always have access when you need it most.

The most efficient way to get data in Mexico is by using Firsty Free or purchasing days of fast data through the Firsty app. Mexico’s top mobile internet providers include Telcel, Movistar, and AT&T Mexico. With Firsty, you automatically connect to the fastest provider based on your location, whether you're in Mexico City, Guadalajara, or Monterrey. Paying per day with Firsty ensures a reliable connection without relying on WiFi for basic internet. This flexibility means you only pay for what you use and can avoid expensive bundles.

Firsty connects to Mexico's major networks, including Telcel and AT&T, and switches to the strongest one around you. Telcel has the widest 4G coverage, and AT&T leads on 5G reach. Expect gaps in cenotes, the Copper Canyon and remote parts of Baja.

Absolutely! With Unlimited, you can create a hotspot in Mexico to share your internet connection with others. This is perfect for connecting multiple devices or providing internet access to friends and family. Just enable the hotspot feature on your phone, and others can connect using your Unlimited connection. This feature is especially awesome when traveling with a group, particularly during visits to landmarks like Chichen Itza, the beaches of the Riviera Maya, or exploring the vibrant culture of Mexico City.
