Mobile phones in Mexico share the same regional codes with landlines and don't have separate initial digits as most other countries do. Telephone numbers in Mexico are dialed as 10 digits within the country: and +52 from other countries. Top-ups can be made anywhere by top-up cards or direct top-up giving the phone number (in Spanish! or write it down) at the checkout of supermarkets. There is no need to show an ID or give any address, but to be safe, take it with you, when you buy the chip.
