Phone service AND INTERNET
Phone Service: you can always travel with an unlocked phone and a working SIM card so you can contact us anytime. The area has unstable cell service; our team recommends TELCEL or AT&T.
We recommend you go to an OXXO, TELCEL, or COPPEL store near you and purchase a local SIM and a data package. One of the major telecommunications companies is TELCEL, which offers different ranges of data packages.
You might stop at a Mobo kiosk in the Mexico City Airport that can get you activated as soon as you land! (prices may be higher).
