eSIM for Yucatán
Signal is good along the coast and patchy on the jungle roads and in the cenotes. The Yucatán means Cancún, Tulum, Mayan ruins and swimming holes deep underground.

Yucatán: what to know before you go
- Getting in
- Most people fly into Cancún (CUN). Shuttles and buses run along the coast, and for the inland ruins a rental car makes life easier.
- Visiting the ruins
- Tickets for Chichén Itzá and Tulum are sold online. Arrive early, because by midday both are hot and busy.
- Down in the cenotes
- These limestone caves full of water rarely have signal. Have your booking saved before you climb down.
- By rail
- Parts of the peninsula are now connected by a passenger train, booked online. Routes are listed on the official site.
How much data you need
Budget about 3 to 4 GB for a week of driving, navigation and photos.

Questions about Yucatán
- Will I have signal at the ruins?
- Near the coast, at the big sites, you usually will. Further inland and in the cenotes it is hit and miss, so keep tickets and maps saved offline.
- What is the cheapest Yucatán eSIM plan?
- Yucatán uses the Mexico plans, because an eSIM belongs to a country and not to a city. $3.49 gets you 1 GB for 7 days. Data sizes range from 1 GB to 50 GB across 10 plans, and there are unlimited day passes too.
- Do I need an eSIM if my US plan already includes Mexico?
- Maybe not, so read your plan first: some US carriers include Mexico and Canada, with their own limits. If yours does not, or bills by the day, this eSIM gives you prepaid data on AT&T and Telcel at a price fixed before you leave.
- Which mobile networks does the Yucatán eSIM connect to?
- You get AT&T and Telcel, on 5G wherever it is available. The operators are listed on every plan, so you can check before you buy.
- Is there an unlimited data plan for Mexico?
- Yes, the day passes. Each day starts with a full speed allowance, and after it you stay online at a reduced speed of 512 Kbps.
- Will my phone number still work?
- Yes. Every plan is data only, so your regular line stays active for calls and texts, and WhatsApp carries on as usual.
- Should I buy a local SIM card in Yucatán?
- There is no need. An eSIM is a digital SIM card that you install from a QR code before the trip, so you skip the airport kiosk and never open the SIM tray.
- How does it compare with roaming in Yucatán?
- The eSIM is prepaid, so you know the full cost before you go and no charges appear later. Roaming is billed afterwards by your own carrier at its own rates, usually per day or per megabyte. Leave data roaming off on your regular line so it cannot bill you.
- When is the best time to install the eSIM?
- At home, on Wi-Fi, before you leave. Once you arrive, pick the Fizztrip line for mobile data and switch data roaming on for that line.
- When does the plan start counting days?
- At the first connection at your destination. Buying the eSIM or installing it does not start the clock, so a 30 day plan runs for 30 days from the moment it first joins a network there.
- Can I buy the eSIM weeks before my trip?
- Yes. Validity only starts at the first connection at your destination, so buying or installing early does not use up any days. Install it before the "Install by" date on your order.
- Is there a deadline to install the eSIM?
- Yes. Your order and the site show an "Install by" date, and an eSIM that is still not installed after that date expires. Buying early is fine: just install it on Wi-Fi before then.
- What happens when my data runs out?
- The connection pauses and nothing extra is charged, since every plan is prepaid. Top up from the eSIM page and you are back online on the same eSIM, with nothing to reinstall. On a day pass you get a full speed allowance each day. Once it is used, you stay connected at a lower speed (512 Kbps) until the next day begins.
- Can I add data later?
- Yes, straight from the eSIM page. The extra data goes onto the eSIM you already have, so there is nothing new to install.
- Can I share data with a hotspot?
- Yes. Hotspot traffic uses the same plan data and Fizztrip adds no fee for it. Keep in mind that a laptop burns through data much faster than a phone, so for remote work a day pass or a larger plan is the safer pick.
