Hi. Thanks for your suggestion. I agree that Simplii has really good prices in Mexico: 5GB@$349, 10GB@$499, 15GB@$749 including domestic calls, SMS and WhatsApp. There are simply two reasons why Simplii is not included in our list:

(1) It's an online-only operator that is not available in stores. This is unconvenient for travelers. You can't simply go to Oxxo and get a SIM. Well, they promise to deliver in 2 days. But the chip comes already pre-loaded and paid with the first plan and you can't be sure that the delivery is forwarded to you. That's why we normally exclude these operators.

(2) It's not usual prepay: You need to have a credit/debit card. This is not so unusual these days. But lots of foreign cards are not accepted and as a foreigner you simply don't knwo whether Simplii likes your card. As far as I understand the plan will be linked to the credit card similar to "auto-pay" in the US. Quote: "método de pago al que se hará el cargo recurrente mensual". This is more like a monthly prepaid contract. I can't find any reference on their website how to stop payments and terminate the plan.

So you see, it's far off the usual prepaid/prepago offer and certainly not suitable for every visitor. That's why FreedomPop from the US isn't included either that has a similar scheme in Mexico.
