The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), through its subsidiary CFE Telecommunications and Internet for All (CFE TEIT), offers a mobile phone and internet service using eSIM technology (electronic SIM) in Mexico. This alternative to physical SIM cards allows cellular phone users to connect to the CFE network for calls and internet.
Among the advantages of CFE's eSIM are prepaid plans without contracts, the possibility of monthly, semi-annual, or annual recharges, data packages ranging from 5GB to 100GB, additional benefits such as unlimited social networks, calls, and messages without restrictions, as well as the option to share internet with other devices. Activation is free as long as the device is compatible with the CFE TEIT 4.5G network.
To use CFE's eSIM, it is necessary for the mobile phone to meet certain compatibility requirements with the LTE bands used in Mexico by the CFE TEIT network, such as Band 28 (700 MHz APT), Band 5 (850 MHz), Band 2 (1900 MHz), and Band 4 (AWS-1700/2100 MHz). Otherwise, the device may experience internet connection issues, call completion difficulties, and limited coverage.
Some confirmed mobile phone models that are compatible with CFE's eSIM include various brands such as Huawei, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, and Apple. To check a device's compatibility, one can dial *#06# on the mobile phone, note the IMEI code, and then enter it on the official CFE Internet page.
To purchase and recharge CFE's eSIM, one can consult the available sales and recharge points on the CFE Internet website. Once the eSIM is obtained, users can choose a data package and start enjoying the mobile phone and internet service offered by CFE Telecommunications and Internet for All, thus enhancing connectivity in Mexico with an accessible and efficient option.
