Overview
- The nationwide process went live on January 9, with major carriers including Telcel, AT&T and Movistar taking registrations during a roughly four-month window.
- Outlets report different cutoff dates for compliance—June 29, June 30 or July 1—creating short-term uncertainty despite the 120-day period set out in the rules.
- Users must link each line using an official ID and CURP, with remote flows requiring a selfie for proof of life; foreigners can use a passport or temporary CURP and businesses must provide RFC.
- Noncompliant numbers will be suspended after the deadline with service limited to emergency and carrier support numbers, and they can be reactivated once registration is completed.
- Operators must protect personal data and retain only limited fields, a consultation portal will let users verify and unlink lines (Telcel says its portal opens February 7), and individuals are capped at 10 lines.
