Coverage in Mexico: what to know

Opensignal's October 2023 report gave Telcel the coverage-experience win (8.8 vs AT&T's 4.4), though AT&T spent slightly more time connected. Its measures focus on populated areas, so remote regions are not covered by that data.

Checked 3 Nov 2026. Source: insights.opensignal.com. Coverage changes, so check your route before you rely on it.

Planning San Miguel de Allende

Questions people ask about a San Miguel de Allende eSIM

Does a Mexico eSIM work in San Miguel de Allende?

Yes. A Mexico eSIM runs on Mexico’s own networks (Telcel, AT&T), so the same plan works in San Miguel de Allende and everywhere else those networks reach in the country. There is no separate San Miguel de Allende plan to buy.

How much does an eSIM for San Miguel de Allende cost?

On 4 Nov 2026, Mexico plans started at $1.79 and went up to $87.59 for the biggest. NUM’s 7-day pick was 3 GB for $6.59. The shop always shows today’s price, and the price on the pay button is the price you pay.

How much data do I need for San Miguel de Allende?

For a week of maps, rides, messages and photos most people use about 3 GB; for two weeks about 5 GB; for a month of social and video, 10 GB or more.

Can I use it as a hotspot?

Hotspot works on most plans, so one eSIM can get a laptop or a travel partner online too.

Why does my eSIM show another carrier’s name?

Many travel eSIMs are issued by one carrier and roam on local networks, so your phone can show the issuing carrier’s name while your data runs on a local network. Keep data roaming on for the eSIM.

Will it work on my phone?

Dial *#06# on the phone you’re taking. If you see an EID number, it takes an eSIM. Every iPhone from the XR and XS on does, and the SE from 2020, as do Google Pixel 3 and later and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. The phone must be carrier-unlocked. Not sure? Text PHONE and your model and we’ll check.

When do I install it?

At home, on wifi, before you fly. Then switch it on when you land. Tell us your landing day and we text you the switch-on steps that morning.

Does it come with a phone number?

No. It’s a data-only eSIM. WhatsApp, LINE, iMessage and FaceTime all work over it, and your home number can stay on for calls and codes.

What if it doesn’t work?

If we can’t issue your eSIM, we refund you in full. If it won’t install or connect, text us and we help you get connected.
