Mobile data in Mexico: what to know

Both carriers on this page run their own network. Each one has its own APN, so make sure you copy the settings for the carrier named on your SIM, not the one with the best coverage.

Telcel and Movistar México use a username and password in the APN. Type them exactly as shown. Where an authentication type is given: Telcel uses PAP and Movistar México uses PAP.

Both carriers list separate settings for picture messages (MMS). If texts work but photos in messages do not, those are the values to check.

The carriers here use the mobile country code 334, the first three digits of every network code in Mexico. Android usually fills in the MCC and MNC from the SIM, so you rarely need to type them.

Visiting Mexico with your own SIM? Keep your home APN: roaming data still goes through your home carrier. You only need these settings with a local SIM bought in Mexico. Or skip the SIM shop with a Mexico eSIM, which sets its own APN.

How to change the APN

iPhone

  1. Open Settings, then Mobile Data (Mobile Service or Cellular in some regions).
  2. Tap Mobile Data Options (with two lines, tap the line first), then Mobile Data Network.
  3. Type the APN, username and password into the Mobile Data section.
  4. Go back. The change saves by itself.

No Mobile Data Network option? Your carrier locks it, and the iPhone sets the APN for you.

Android

  1. Open Settings, then Network and internet (Connections on Samsung).
  2. Tap SIMs or Mobile networks, pick your line, then Access Point Names.
  3. Tap + or Add, and fill in the fields shown above for your carrier.
  4. Save from the menu, then tap the new APN so it is selected.

Made a mess of it? Reset to default in the same menu brings the original settings back.

Still no data in Mexico? Check these

  1. Data and roaming on

    Mobile data must be on, and airplane mode off. On a local SIM, data roaming can stay off.

  2. The APN, letter for letter

    For Telcel that is internet.itelcel.com. One wrong dot or capital is enough to block data.

  3. Username only if listed

    Only Telcel and Movistar México need one here. Leave it blank for the rest.

  4. Select it and restart

    On Android, tap the entry so its dot is filled. Then restart the phone and open a website.

Calls and texts work, only data does not? That points to the APN, because calls and normal texts do not depend on it. If nothing works at all, the SIM itself may not be active yet: ask the shop or the carrier.

Mexico APN settings, answered

What is the Telcel APN?+

The Telcel internet APN is internet.itelcel.com, with username webgprs and password webgprs2002. Some plans use a different APN, listed on this page.

What is the Movistar México APN?+

The Movistar México internet APN is internet.movistar.mx, with username movistar and password movistar.

Which carriers in Mexico need a username and password?+

Telcel and Movistar México use a username and password in the APN. For all of them, leave both fields blank.

Do I need to set an APN in Mexico?+

Usually not. Your phone reads the APN from the SIM and sets it for you. You only need to add it by hand if mobile data does not work, often after moving a phone between networks or on an unlocked import.

I am visiting Mexico. Should I change my APN?+

Not if you use your own SIM: roaming uses your home carrier's APN. You only need the settings on this page if you buy a local SIM from a carrier in Mexico.

Will a wrong APN break my phone?+

No. At worst, mobile data or picture messages stop working until you fix it. On Android, Reset to default in the APN menu puts the carrier's own settings back.

Visiting Mexico? Skip the local SIM

A travel eSIM installs before you fly and usually sets its own APN. Pay in crypto, no ID, no email.
