Overview
- The registration rule that began in January requires each mobile SIM to be linked to a CURP or RFC and the CRT still lists June 30 as the official cutoff.
- The regulator reported about 61.4 million lines registered out of roughly 144 million, leaving an estimated 82–83 million lines unlinked as of June 19.
- Multiple outlets report the CRT is preparing a possible 120-day prórroga to avoid mass disconnections but the extension had not been formally announced at the time of reporting.
- On June 23 the CRT issued binding rules obliging carriers to provide free, active assistance to vulnerable users who cannot complete registration on their own.
- Carriers—not the federal government—will collect and store ID data and a proof-of-life photo, raising privacy and security concerns and prompting banks to warn that some phone-based account recovery steps could be blocked if lines are suspended.
