FAQ
Are eSIMs safe in Mexico?
With no physical card there's nothing to swap-scam — arguably safer than buying locally. Just keep your phone discreet in public.
Best plan for a US + Mexico trip?
A North America regional plan that includes Mexico — auto-switch at the border, no double purchase.
Is there signal at Mayan ruins?
Chichén Itzá and Tulum main sites are covered; deep jungle sites (e.g. Calakmul) are not.
