Mexico data pricing
One rate: $1.40/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance. No daily passes, no expiring bundles, no throttling tiers - unused credit stays on your eSIM forever and works in the next country you visit.
| Top-up | Data in Mexico | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | ≈ 3.6 GB | $1.40/GB |
| $10.00 | ≈ 7.1 GB | $1.40/GB |
| $20.00 | ≈ 14.3 GB | $1.40/GB |
| $50.00 | ≈ 35.7 GB | $1.40/GB |
A one-time $5 setup fee applies to a brand-new eSIM; top-ups to an existing eSIM carry no fee. Rates are pay-as-you-go, so light days cost cents and heavy days just draw down the balance faster.
Networks and speeds in Mexico
Anon eSIM connects through roaming agreements with Telcel, with 4G LTE typically available to roamers. Your phone picks the strongest partner signal automatically and re-selects as you move - there is nothing to configure.
Telcel has by far the widest footprint in Mexico. Tulum and remote beach towns can be congested at peak season.
The APN is provisioned automatically with the eSIM profile. You do not need to enter APN settings manually on iOS or Android - the only switch you must flip is Data Roaming: ON for the Anon eSIM line, because the service is technically a roaming profile everywhere it operates.

In-country context: Mexico
Local prepaid SIM registration: technically optional. Mexico previously required a national SIM registry (PANAUT), which was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2022. Prepaid SIMs are again available without ID at OXXO stores. This is exactly the paper trail Anon eSIM avoids - your identity never touches the local carrier, because you attach as a roamer on a foreign anonymous profile.
On arrival: CUN, MEX, and SJD have Telcel kiosks; OXXO stores in town sell registration-free SIMs for pesos. eSIM saves the detour and works on the shuttle bus.
Typical speeds: 20-80 Mbps on 4G LTE; congested at Tulum and Playa peak seasons. Prices from the live rates data: $1.40/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance.
Registration status
Registration by carrier policy
Anon eSIM sidesteps this entirely - the eSIM is issued from an ID-free jurisdiction and you use it as a visitor's roaming SIM in Mexico. No local paperwork.
