You can just get a top-up voucher from a branded store or most any convenience, petrol station or grocery store. They have a number that you will key into your phone to increase the credit.

That is the "old fashioned way", but last I checked, it still worked.

Most now have the swipe cards which makes it easier, but no company is going to turn down your money.

But be careful. Some companies expire the SIM cards after a certain time of non use. Like Orange does after a year. TelCel Mexico does after 270 days I believe
