Mexico is absolutely brimming with fascinating historical sights and sandy shores to trek down – for millions of tourists every year, it’s the complete package.

Whether you want to take in ancient ruins from the Mayan civilisation, fancy trying some authentic Mexican cuisine, or just want to take time sunning yourself on Playa del Carmen, chances are you’ll be spoilt for choice on what to do when you arrive.

However, there are a few steps you’ll need to take before you land in Mexico – and yes, while I’m certainly referring to packing your essentials and making sure your passport’s up to date, I’m also talking about ensuring you’ve got a plan in mind for mobile data. Not really that surprising, given you’re reading a SIMOVO guide!

So, let’s dive into why setting up an eSIM is absolutely your best shot at staying connected while you visit Mexico, and how you can get started in a matter of minutes.

What is a Mexican eSIM?

Mexico eSIMs are downloadable SIM cards that install directly to your device – whether it’s a phone, a tablet, or a laptop. These virtual SIMs give you access to local mobile data, meaning they connect you to the best available network and speeds from nearby masts.

Essentially, eSIMs take away the need for you to buy and install a physical SIM from a local store, or to rely on your usual SIM.

With SIMOVO’s Mexico eSIMs, you’ll have access to up to 4G speeds and stability from Telcel and Movistar – and with mobile tethering, you’ll even be able to share your connection with other devices and family members.

Why Get an eSIM for Mexico?

You might be thinking that you can always connect to public WiFi in Mexico, or fall back on your usual SIM when travelling abroad. Unfortunately, while those options might seem convenient, they’re not the cheapest or even the most secure.

Public WiFi hotspots have reputations for being easy to hack, often thanks to lax access controls – meaning that anyone could be snooping on your conversations, or you could even lose sensitive data like passwords or financial details without realising it.

And, when you rely on your usual SIM while travelling abroad, you’re putting yourself at the mercy of your network’s roaming fees. These can often be super costly – and the last thing you’ll want to come back to is a massive bill.

With eSIMs, you’re secure, you’re connected, and you’re always clear on what you’re spending. That’s especially true when it comes to SIMOVO – we give you complete control over your data budgeting and how long you’re covered for.

We offer data packages that vary in size and time coverage – meaning you can pay in advance for anything you’re likely to need before you travel. For Mexico, you can purchase up to 50GB of data, covering 30 days, in advance. If you run out, you won’t get charged any nasty fees – provided you turn mobile roaming off for your usual SIM!

SIMOVO’s eSIMs run on technology that encrypts your data, and you’ll have access to a private connection – only you have the power to share it with others.

There are other benefits, too – for example, hunting around for local SIMs can be a major hassle when you just want to enjoy your holiday! With a pre-loaded SIMOVO eSIM, you can start exploring Mexico to your heart’s content – without worrying about your connections.

And, yes – you can use SIMOVO eSIMs for streaming, map apps, video calling, instant messaging – you name it. Provided you use apps that run off data, you’re covered. A word to the wise, on that note – SIMOVO eSIMs won’t cover standard calls and messages, so make sure you use apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to keep in touch with loved ones.

Getting Started with your Mexico eSIM

We’ve made it really easy to get started with your eSIM before you go abroad. Just head over to our Mexico eSIMs page and decide which package will work best for you – then either add to cart, or “buy now” for instant access to your exclusive QR code.

Once you complete payment, scan the QR code we provide with your device, and follow the instructions to set up your eSIM. Once it’s registered to your device, it’ll activate as soon as you land in Mexico. Just make sure you’re connected to the internet during the setup process!

There’s no need to buy boosters for your usual SIM, or to worry about hunting down a physical SIM card once you get to the other side. In fact, think about the plastic you’re saving, too – if everyone who went on holiday used an eSIM instead of a local card, we’d be looking at tons of waste saved from entering our oceans.

And, as mentioned, if you want to use our eSIM services for another device, you can set up tethering – great if, say, you’re taking the whole family and want to save money on the data everyone consumes.

Get Out There and Enjoy Mexico!

Don’t waste your holiday time on fiddling around with technology – spend it on actually exploring Mexico’s spectacular scenery and tucking into its world-famous cuisine. You never know when you might get back out here again, so save yourself some serious money, time, and hassle – and get an eSIM on board ready for when you land.

You’ll be connected ready to share all your photos and videos and to keep in touch with loved ones through your favourite instant messaging apps. Given that we all spend so much time online these days, it surely makes sense to make mobile data simple and painless – and that’s what we do here at SIMOVO!

Before you board for Mexico, make sure to buy and download a Mexico eSIM from SIMOVO – and rest easy knowing your mobile data’s paid for and completely taken care of.
