Staying online in Mexico — tips
- Telcel gives the broadest coverage if you’re travelling beyond the big cities.
- A travel eSIM avoids your home carrier’s daily roaming fee, which adds up on a longer trip.
- Use registered ride-hailing apps (Uber/DiDi) over street taxis at night — a live data connection makes that easy.
