Before you buy

Three things that catch people out

The country list

Mexico is usually treated as North America, so check whether your route starts there.

Hotspot rules

Some regional plans block tethering. If you work from a laptop, confirm hotspot support before departure rather than in an airport lounge.

Top-up behaviour

A few providers require a new plan instead of a top-up once you run out mid-region. That turns a cheap plan into an expensive one.

Maths

When a Central America plan is the right buy

Two borders or more and the regional plan wins on price and on not reinstalling a profile at every crossing.
