FAQs: All You Need to Know
Everything you need to know about SimCorner's SIM and eSIM services for a hassle-free travel experience
Why Choose SimCorner eSIM for Your Trip to Mexico?
In Mexico, purchasing a local physical SIM card as a tourist is becoming increasingly complex. New 2026 regulations require mobile lines to be linked to official identification and biometric registration at the point of sale. This bureaucratic process can lead to long wait times and language barriers at local stores. SimCorner eliminates this hassle.
