Find the perfect plan for Mexico
Staying connected in Mexico
What the coverage maps do not tell you, and what you will actually use the data for.
Where the signal actually drops
Telcel has the widest reach by a clear margin, with AT&T and Movistar strong in the cities and tourist corridors. Coverage is good across the Yucatan resorts, Mexico City and the main highways, and thins in the Sierra Madre, in Chiapas away from the towns, and on the Baja peninsula between settlements.
What you will use your phone for here
Ride-hailing is heavily used in the cities and is often the safer transport choice, which makes a live connection a practical safety matter rather than a convenience. WhatsApp is the default channel for businesses, tours and even taxi drivers.
Before you go
Cenotes, ruins and beach areas frequently have no signal, and that is where people most want to summon a ride back. Arrange return transport before you go offline.
How much data you will actually need
Moderate. WhatsApp and maps dominate.
