Hello everyone,

Staying connected while living in Mexico remains a priority for expats, especially when choosing a mobile operator or to understand the local specificities of mobile plans.

Here some elements to consider:

How to choose your mobile operator in Mexico?

What documents are required to subscribe to a mobile plan in Mexico?

What criteria should you consider when choosing a plan matching your needs?

Are e-sim cards a suitable option for expats? What are the conditions?

What are your local tips for saving money on your mobile plan, especially for international calls (apps, operators, etc.) or mobile data?

Feel free to share your experiences and advice to choose your mobile plan as an expat in Mexico.

Thank you for your contribution.

After considering all the logistics we decided to keep our US numbers we've had for years. We have AT&T prepaid which provides full coverage in Mexico at no additional cost, and prepaid means we don't get charged for services we don't want. We use Whatsapp for calling local. There are some things we need a local number for so we bought a cheap Telcel phone to use for banking but we don't use it for day to day stuff.
