Installed it on airport wifi before boarding so everything was ready when we landed. Had full 5G bars on Telcel pretty much everywhere in Cancun and Mexico City (CDMX). worked exactly as advertised, zero complaints
Genial para moverse por Cancun y Mexico City (CDMX), hotspot rapido
Primera vez usando esim en Mexico y super comodo desde el movil. La velocidad de Telcel fue genial para videollamadas en Cancun y pude mantener mi whatsapp de siempre. Funcionamiento perfecto toda la semana, cero problemas.
Reliable data for Cancun & Mexico City (CDMX), quick setup
The second we landed at CUN my phone connected to Telcel 5G before we even got off the plane. dropped to 4G LTE for a bit in rural areas outside Mexico City (CDMX), but stayed super reliable overall.
