Well now I don't know what to think. I wonder why I was finding it unusable in Cabo. We had plans that were to get an Uber to a certain beach, but I couldn't get anything to load on my phone. I tried all the normal tricks of turning airplane mode on and off, restarting my phone etc. I'm thinking in the future I'll just get an esim for the areas I'm going to just to be safe. I know my AT&T prepaid phone plan probably doesn't have the best priority data like most prepaid plans, so maybe that is a factor too. It's not like I'm wanting to watch video or anything. I mainly just needed Uber to work, and I'm sure that isn't asking very much.

I have AT&T Prepaid, which is supposed to cover me in Mexico. I was barely able to use it in Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta, and had almost zero luck in Cabo. I'm guessing that when a ship pulls into port that the local cell network takes a bit hit like how you can't use your cell data at a football game. I'm just curious if others have had the same issue or are there plans where you still get good speeds when in port? I've heard that Google Fi is good for international travel. I don't need much in the way of data. Just to be able to use Uber and look up some info online. Just curious what experiences others have had and with which carriers / plans.
