I'm planning a trip and could use some advice about eSIM vs local SIM in Mexico. What's the best way to handle this with a GotoeSIM?

Great question! In short: install your eSIM on Wi-Fi before you travel, set it as your data line, and turn on Data Roaming (it never costs extra — the plan is prepaid). It activates automatically when you arrive, and you can top up in the app if you run low.

Worked great for me — connected as soon as I landed.

The install-before-you-fly tip is key.

Topping up in the app was easy when I ran low.
