The short answer
This is for a Canadian with Rogers who is heading to Mexico. I read the Rogers International Travel Pass on 1 November 2026, C$45 for 3 days, C$75 for 7, C$100 for 14 and C$120 for 30, and set it against the five travel eSIM brands and Ringo Light, priced on 11 November 2026. For a few days at a resort I would take the pass. For two weeks or a month I would buy Ringo Light, $42.99 or $57.99.
Unlimited data at full speed, 2 weeks at $42.99 or 30 days at $57.99, nothing renews. The 2 weeks is one cent under Airalo's 15 days at $43, which gives a day more. The month is $4.01 under Airalo's $62.
Its unlimited plan costs $43 for 15 days and $62 for 30, on AT&T, with 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps.
Three days of unlimited at $10, a week at $22, 10 GB for 30 days at $15.50 and 20 GB at $27.50, on AT&T and Movistar.
Sold in days, not gigabytes, on Movistar and Telcel, with no daily cap stated for your own phone. A week is $24.50 and a month $66.50, and sharing is limited to 1 GB a day.
Prices read on 11 November 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi, Rogers, Ringo Light, European Central Bank on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

The 30-day plan at each brand. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed. Here it costs less than all three rivals.
Holafly sells no buckets. Ringo Light sells no bucket either: its 2 weeks is unlimited and lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days.

That is the full Ringo service: one plan that works everywhere, with your own number included.
It is a separate product from Ringo Light and it is still being built, so it is not on sale yet. Join the waitlist to hear when it opens.
What to see in Mexico, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places that many first trips include, from Mexico City and the colonial highlands to Oaxaca, the Yucatan and the tip of Baja, with the one thing your phone does for you at each. The cities and the Riviera Maya have good signal, and the roads between them are thinner.
Roam with Rogers, or buy an eSIM
Rogers sells the International Travel Pass at flat prices, not daily ones: C$45 for 3 days (about $32), C$75 for 7 (about $54), C$100 for 14 (about $72) and C$120 for 30 (about $86). Its pass FAQ names Mexico, and I read both pages on 1 November 2026. I converted at the ECB reference rate of 30 October 2026, C$1 = $0.716.
Ringo Light is $42.99 for 2 weeks and $57.99 for 30 days, so it asks $42.99 where the pass asks C$100 (about $72), and $57.99 where the pass asks C$120 (about $86). That is $29.01 less for two weeks and $28.01 less for a month. Airalo's unlimited plan is $43 for 15 days and $62 for 30, and it is the closest rival.
The pass wins where Canadians feel it most. Your own number keeps ringing, calls and texts come out of the talk and text in your plan, nothing needs installing, and the cost lands on the next Rogers bill. It works on a phone with no eSIM slot. For a few days I would not argue with it. But the shortest eSIM is cheaper than the shortest pass: Nomad sells 3 days at $10, against C$45 (about $32), and Ringo Light sells a week at $16.99, against C$75 (about $54). Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan for Mexico.
Networks in Mexico, and what changes for a visitor from Canada
Mexico has one big network, Telcel, and two smaller ones, Movistar and AT&T, plus Altan, the shared network that other brands rent. Telcel reaches furthest on the highways and in small towns. All of them cover Mexico City, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Cancun and the Riviera Maya. Holafly and Ubigi name Telcel, Airalo rides AT&T for unlimited and Movistar for buckets, and Nomad uses AT&T and Movistar. For a drive outside the cities I would want Telcel.
Rogers says its pass has no separate usage bucket and draws on the data, talk and text already in your plan. I read that to mean a plan with 20 GB has 20 GB in Mexico, and a small plan has a small allowance. The pages state no roaming speed. Rogers also says calls and texts to other countries carry long distance charges, even on a pass destination. Holafly's page says its plan does not work on Holbox Island, Contoy Island and some remote stretches between Playa del Carmen and Merida, so I would download an offline map before leaving the coast.
If you want a data bucket: Nomad
- Nomad, $15.50 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB I found, and the cheapest 20 GB at $27.50, on AT&T and Movistar with 5G.
- Airalo, $26 for 10 GB. Its Movistar buckets, 20 GB for $42.50 and 5 GB for $18.50.
- Saily, $24.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB is $45.99. That listing is dated 5 October 2026, and saily.com would not load when I tried it.
- Ubigi, $24 for 10 GB. On Telcel, Movistar and Altan, installed by QR code with no app.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. It sells unlimited, 2 weeks at $42.99 and 30 days at $57.99. For a fixed amount of data every rival here costs less in Mexico, Nomad by a wide margin. I would buy Ringo Light for unlimited data with no daily cap, not for a bucket.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For Mexico it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed: 7 days at $16.99, 2 weeks at $42.99 and 30 days at $57.99. The eSIM arrives by email and installs in one scan, no app.
It sits next to your Rogers SIM, so your own number keeps working for calls and texts if you leave roaming on for those, which Rogers says come out of your plan. I would keep the long distance note in mind before you phone anyone abroad. The card to buy Ringo Light is further up this page, after the table.
Pick by trip
Nomad, 3 days, $10, or the Rogers 3-day pass at C$45 (about $32) if you want your own number and no setup. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.
The Rogers 7-day pass, C$75 (about $54), for zero fuss. Ringo Light's week at $16.99 is the cheaper data.
Ringo Light, 2 weeks, $42.99, or Airalo, 15 days, $43. Fourteen days of the pass is C$100 (about $72).
Ringo Light, 30 days, $57.99, full speed all month. The 30-day pass is C$120 (about $86).
Nomad, 10 GB for 30 days, $15.50. I would count gigabytes.
The Rogers pass, or Ringo Light for data with your Rogers SIM left in for calls and texts.

How we compared, and our sources

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Mexico on 11 November 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars.

Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.
