Heading to Cancun this winter? In addition to packing your swimsuit and sunscreen, make sure you’ve got what you need to stay connected during your visit to help you navigate and share your Mexico adventures. Skip the hassle of a local SIM card and snag a Cancun eSIM card instead.
Why use an eSIM in Cancun?
Public Wi-Fi, especially if you head outside the resort, is often unreliable or slow—and that’s if it’s even available at all. Popular tourist sites, like the Mayan ruins, cenotes, or most beaches, are remote and lack the necessary infrastructure for dependable Wi-Fi.
So if you anticipate needing to check your map, translating a Spanish phrase, or even snaps some memorable pics to share, you’ll need a secure and consistent data connection
What is an eSIM (and how is it different from a physical SIM card)?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card that you download and install directly onto your smartphone, eliminating the cumbersome annoyance of a physical SIM card.
Bonus: with a Cancun SIM card from aloSIM you won’t have to hunt down a sketchy SIM card kiosk on arrival or worry about misplacing a teeny tiny card during your trip.
Benefits of using an eSIM in Cancun
1. Reliable connectivity
With most of Cancun’s most popular attractions lacking reliable Wi-Fi, an aloSIM eSIM will connect to local cell towers as needed, allowing you to access maps, information, and translation tools on the go (even when Wi-Fi isn’t an option).
2. No roaming charges
STOP! A roaming plan with your mobile provider will quickly rack up exorbitant charges. An aloSIM eSIM for Mexico is just a few dollars and can easily be topped up if you ever need more data.
3. Simple setup and instant activation
Purchase and download your digital Cancun SIM card from aloSIM even before you head to the airport. Just scan your QR code and your eSIM for Mexico will be activated on your phone, meaning you’ll have access to data as soon as you land.
4. Secure and safe
Stay safe by staying away from unsecured public WiFi. Instead, know that your Cancun SIM card will connect you directly to secure cell networks, meaning your information will be kept private and safe from data breaches or any unauthorized access that could happen with a public hotspot.
5. Easy to top-up
If you end up spending a little more time on your device than you had anticipated, just head to the aloSIM app to top up your Cancun SIM card with a few quick taps.
