Can I use an eSIM in Mexico for data only?

Yes. Most Mexico eSIM plans for tourists are data‑only, meaning they don’t include a local phone number for traditional calls or SMS. Instead, you use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, or Skype for voice and video calls. You can keep your physical SIM in your phone to receive texts from banks or airlines while routing all your mobile data through the eSIM for affordable local or regional rates.
