Keep this in mind before choosing a Telcel, AT&T or Movistar plan.
It’s no secret that Telcel is the most expensive operator in Mexico, but it also offers the best coverage.
According to the Federal Institute of Communications, Telcel has 86% guaranteed 3G coverage, 82.2% guaranteed 2G coverage and 77.7% 4G coverage.
AT&T, its closest competitor, has 68.8% 3G coverage and 71.8% 4G coverage.
Finally, Movistar has a guaranteed coverage of 45.8% in 4G and 53.3% in 3G.
Also, don’t forget that all Telcel plan prices we show are open ended, meaning Telcel charges you for any additional consumption. If you decide to choose a closed setup, meaning you turn off the service after you use up the data in your plan (to avoid paying more), your service charge will be higher.
