  • México. I have Telcel. I pay 550 MXN (≈ 27 USD; €25.50; £21.20) and get 16 GB data + unlimited calling/text with free roaming in the United States and Canada. I also get free long distance to national numbers and United States and Canada.

    One trick: my plan is technically 8 GB with a 2 × 1 promotion for 2 years. Every two years, all I do is ask them to renew my contract and my 2 × 1 promotion and I get my 16 GB back. I literally get 8 GB of data for the cost of a smile and a “por favor” every two years.

    EDITED TO ADD: I get full 5G speeds in both México and in the United States and Canada. I get up to 200 Mbps in both México and the United States. While in the United States, I roam on the T Mobile network, so I’ll get whatever the T Mobile network is capable of. I’ve never been to Canada, so I don’t know how well it performs. But it’s still part of my plan.

    And, if I want native coverage in Latin America, EU, or UK, I can pay 950 MXN (≈ 46.60 USD; €44; £36.60) on demand for 10 GB of data for 30 days. Granted, travel eSIMs are a better deal, but the option is there.
