Mexico City has strong urban coverage throughout. A HelloRoam eSIM is a far better option than paying Irish carrier international roaming rates for Mexico.

eSIM Travel Tips for Mexico
Mexico is outside the EU: no EU roaming
Mexico is outside the EU and Irish carrier international roaming charges apply. A HelloRoam eSIM from $5.00 is far more affordable than daily roaming add-ons from Eir, Three IE, or Vodafone IE. Set up at home before your long-haul flight.
Tulum and remote Yucatan need offline maps
Tulum town and the beach zone have reasonable 4G coverage but heading towards remote cenotes and jungle areas off the main roads can drop signal. Download offline maps for any day trips away from the Riviera Maya tourist strip.
Cancun airport and hotel zone are well covered
Cancun International Airport and the Hotel Zone strip along Boulevard Kukulcan have solid 4G coverage throughout. Uber, Google Maps, and restaurant booking apps all work smoothly from the moment you land.
Mexico City is a massive vibrant capital
Mexico City has excellent 4G and 5G coverage across Condesa, Roma, Polanco, Centro Histórico, and all the major areas. The Metro system and Metrobús apps work well on a live local data connection.
Mobile networks in Mexico: what Irish visitors need to know
HelloRoam connects on AT&T Mexico. AT&T is one of Mexico's largest operators with strong coverage in tourist areas, border cities, and major urban centres. 5G is available in Mexico City and other major cities. Your eSIM connects automatically to the best available AT&T signal.

Best time to visit Mexico from Ireland
Mexico's best season is November to April when the weather is dry and comfortable across the Yucatan. May to October is the rainy season with occasional hurricanes on the Caribbean coast. December and January are peak season with the best beach weather. Ireland's direct flight options to Cancun make this a popular winter sun destination.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
