Most airports have wifi now. If you just cellular want data, a travel esim is nice and easy because you can set it up ahead of time and then just turn on that esim once you arrive. Assuming you have an e-sim capable phone or course. @softech suggested Airalo, which I've also heard great things about. I've personally used Ubigi which is great.

HI @Empty
as suggested above, you have to buy local sim there. Travel eSIM is a choice, physical local sim is another. You can buy it in the airport, or you can search on Amazon and many sell Mexican travel physical sim card there

Quite possible, @Empty , that the airport may have Wi-Fi within the bounds of the airport.
Perhaps there is a way to determine that ahead of time - if you only need it to book an Uber.

Public Mobile only works in Canada and the US (with can-us plan or roaming add-on). You will not be able to use Public Mobile service while in Mexico. You should look into a local prepaid sim or a travel eSIM that gives you data usage for Uber so you can use your phone while in Mexico. Services I have been recommended are Airalo and Nomad. Otherwise look to other carriers that now offer Can-US-Mex plans.

sorry, PM does not have roaming service in Mexico at all, they only have roaming services in US. You will have to buy travel eSIM if you want to have srevice right a way in Mexico for Uber or other internet browsing. Check Airalo, it's a good one
