Is the network good enough for maps and ride-hailing across Guadalajara?

Very much so. As Mexico's technology hub, Guadalajara has excellent 4G and 5G coverage citywide, including Tlaquepaque and Zapopan. You can rely on Google Maps, Uber, DiDi and translation apps throughout without hunting for Wi-Fi.

Will my eSIM work on a day trip to Tequila?

Yes. It's a single national Mexico plan, so the same eSIM covers Guadalajara and the tequila-country towns to the west. You'll have signal along the main roads and in Tequila itself, ideal for maps and booking distillery tours.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.
