Network Usage Tips
National parks and remote areas
In remote areas such as the Grand Canyon and Banff National Park, signals may be interrupted, so it is recommended to download offline maps in advance. In rural areas of the United States, 4G coverage is approximately 75%, with weaker signals in some regions like Montana and North Dakota.
Mountainous areas and nature reserves
Signal instability is present in the Rocky Mountains, Appalachian Mountains, and the Mexican Volcanic Belt regions. It is recommended to verify operator coverage before departure.
Indoor and Historic Buildings
Inside casinos, shopping centers, and historical buildings, signals can be significantly weakened. It is recommended to use the network near windows or in open areas.
Cross-border region
In border regions near the US, Canada, and Mexico (such as San Diego-Tijuana and Detroit-Windsor), network switching delays may occur. It is recommended to enable international roaming or use a local eSIM for automatic switching.
Extreme weather impacts
Winter snowstorms in Canada and tornadoes in the U.S. Midwest may disrupt base station power supply. It is recommended to download necessary materials in places with stable electricity, such as hotels or visitor centers.
Network Congestion Alert
During peak travel seasons (such as Mexico's Day of the Dead or Thanksgiving in the U.S.), networks around popular attractions may experience congestion. While global 5G population coverage is expected to reach 55% by the end of 2024, tourist hotspots may still face network pressure.
Language support issues
Some parts of Mexico are predominantly Spanish-speaking, so it is recommended to download a translation app in advance.
Battery Consumption Warning
In areas with weak signals, mobile phones continuously search for networks, leading to faster battery consumption. It is recommended to carry a portable charging device. Mexico now has 6.6 million 5G users, but some remote areas still rely on 4G networks.
Price evaluation
In the US, Canada, and Mexico, 92% of the population is covered by 4G/5G mobile networks, with a relatively small gap between urban and rural areas (98% in cities, 75% in rural regions). According to GSMA data, the average 5G download speeds are 224 Mbps in the US, 186 Mbps in Canada, and 89 Mbps in Mexico. Data prices in these three countries are significantly lower than the global average, with basic urban plans (500MB–2GB/day) fully meeting daily needs. For visits to national parks or border areas, plans with 3GB or more are recommended to ensure navigation and emergency communication. 5G network deployment is advancing rapidly in North America, with T-Mobile offering the most extensive 5G coverage in the US, Telcel and AT&T Mexico providing 5G services in Mexico, and Canada’s major carriers—Rogers, Bell, and Telus—continuing to expand their 5G networks.
