Mobile internet in Mexico with sim card Mexico
With Airport Telecom Schiphol’s prepaid sim cards Mexico, you can make calls and use mobile internet throughout Mexico. You can choose from a 15GB data bundle and an Unlimited data bundle. Both sim cards from provider AT&T work in Mexico as well as in the USA. The bundles are great for internet usage and give you easy access to Email, Whatsapp, navigation and other internet applications.
The sim cards from provider AT&T include unlimited calls within Mexico. So you pay nothing extra for calling minutes within Mexico. Receiving calls is also free in Mexico with these sim cards.
Data and calls in Mexico
The AT&T SIM cards we use for Mexico have an American phone number (country code +1). In addition to having access to 12GB or Unlimited data, you can also use them to make regular calls on the go, for example to hotels and restaurants.
Please note!
The AT&T SIM cards do not work in every phone:
iPhone: AT&T sim works in all iPhones 6 through 15 and above
Android: Check beforehand if your type of Android phone and its version number are in the list of AT&T itself. You can find those via this AT&T link. It is a pdf document. Please check carefully that not only the device type but also the version number matches. This is listed in brackets after the phone type. So the type and version number of your phone should both be in the AT&T list. If this is not the case and you order anyway then it will not work in Mexico. We cannot refund the purchase price in this situation once the SIM card is activated for you.

Mexico is a huge country with good phone coverage in the cities and well-known coastal towns like Playa del Carmen and Acapulco, but with also many remote areas where there are no transmission towers.

Great compliments
Big compliments to Airport Telecom ! For my vacation to the Philippines, I received an Unlimited Sim card that really worked perfectly everywhere. The Philippines are very vast but I had coverage everywhere. A travel companion only had problems with a locally purchased Sim card so I was happy with my Sim from Airport Telecom ! I recommend this company to everyone for a carefree vacation. Anko

What an excellent way
Used a sim from Airport Telecom for our trip to Tanzania. What a great way to travel comfortably and still remain reachable. The excellent explanations made for a relaxing trip and the accessibility was top notch. Many thanks Robert and Marion.

Top service
Top service. Purchased a sim card with 12 gb for 9 days in California. After some questions both via email and over the phone I made the choice to purchase it from Airport Telecom. Clear instructions and fast home delivery! I activated the card on advice at home, changed SIM cards on the plane and once we landed in Los Angeles we immediately had a stable connection to the network.
