Mexico eSIM FAQs
Does an eSIM work in Mexico?
Yes — TripSIM eSIMs work across Mexico on local 4G/5G networks (Telcel, AT&T Mexico, Movistar MX). You activate before you fly and it connects automatically when you land.
Can I keep my UK number while using a Mexico eSIM?
Yes. Your physical UK SIM stays active for calls, texts and WhatsApp. The TripSIM eSIM runs alongside it as a data-only line.
Is hotspot / tethering included?
Yes, every TripSIM plan supports personal hotspot.
When should I install the eSIM?
Install before you leave the UK while on WiFi. Activation only starts when you connect to a local network in Mexico.
Is TripSIM cheaper than UK carrier roaming in Mexico?
Almost always. UK carriers typically charge £8–£12 per MB in Mexico. Save up to 90% vs UK roaming.
Does TripSIM work in Tulum and the Riviera Maya?
Yes, coverage across Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and the Riviera Maya is excellent.
