Hey,
From my own research, I understood that there are several data plans in
Mexico: http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Mexico
Movistar for example can be purchased at the airport (but the store in open until 8PM, and I landing after :).
It seem like it can be also purchased from their website, but I didn't tried yet if they accept international credit cards: http://www.movistar.com.mx/tienda/Open-Catalog/Prepago/Movistar-SIM/Movistar...

Thanks for the comment Corne, what I want to say it's not easy get them like in other countries. I saw in other places SIM cards in mini markets, magazines and others. You need to show only your ID and buy it. The mobile operators office more close to venue is:
Centro de Atención a Clientes Telcel: Eje Central esquina Avenida Madero, five blocks to the east from Hilton, in the first floor of Torre Latinoamericana.

But, Ivan, is it so difficult to get a sim card of a standard provider, like Telcel or Movistar?
Telcel offers prepaid plans of 1 GB for around 160 Pesos (~10 €) for 30 days and you don't even need to show an ID. Is something wrong with that?
European providers charge fortunes for mobile internet in countries outside of Europe.

Hi Itzik. Unfortunately in Mexico it's not common or easy have SIM cards with data plans as other countries. It's necessary go direct to the mobile operators and buy there.
We can give you a list of offices where you can go and buy with a cost of 3 USD. Or will be better have activated previously a traveller plan from your own company.
Thanks,

Hey,
Any recommendations for local sim cards with data plans? Better if can be purchased at the airport or online and sent to the hotel.
