What AT&T Mexico does

AT&T Mexico is the Mexican mobile telecommunications subsidiary of US carrier AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), established in 2012 and headquartered in Villa Cuauhtémoc, Mexico. The company provides 4G LTE and 5G mobile voice and data services to individual consumers and business customers across Mexico, serving a base of approximately 9.04 million registered mobile lines as of mid-2026. Its service portfolio is organized into postpaid plan families (AT&T Premium, AT&T Lite, AT&T Ilimitado) with monthly subscriptions ranging from MXN $299 to $1,599, prepaid options (AT&T Simple, AT&T Go, AT&T Prepago) with pay-as-you-go and multi-month prepay structures, and bundled device financing over 24-36 month terms.

The company's underlying technology stack includes nationwide 4G LTE/5G mobile network infrastructure supported by spectrum concessions in the 800 MHz and 850 MHz bands, eSIM digital SIM technology enabling QR-code-based activation, and the Mi AT&T mobile application providing 24/7 self-service account management. It distributes through an omnichannel network of physical retail stores, an e-commerce website (att.com.mx), mobile app, call center (*611/800-1010-288), and WhatsApp customer service. Revenue is generated through recurring postpaid subscriptions, usage-based prepaid top-ups, and hardware sales (smartphones bundled with installment contracts).

AT&T Mexico monetizes through three primary revenue streams: (1) recurring monthly postpaid subscriptions with tiered data allowances, (2) usage-based prepaid recharges and data packages, and (3) device sales with 24-36 month installment financing. The company's value proposition centers on unlimited domestic and US/Canada calling/SMS, bundled unlimited access to 16 social media and app services, and international roaming in 77 countries on premium plans. As of December 2025, the company is the subject of an advanced acquisition by Grupo Televisa (~$3-4 billion), which would merge the business with Televisa's Izzi MVNO to create a combined entity with ~24 million customers and 17% market share.
