Overview
- OSIPTEL confirmed firm sanctions exceeding S/184 million against Movistar, Entel, Bitel and Claro for ambulatory SIM sales and breaches linked to the RENTESeg security registry.
- The penalties include 24,993 UIT (about S/125.10 million) for street sales and 11,895 UIT (about S/59.15 million) for RENTESeg infractions covering cases from 2020 through October 2025.
- Inspections were stepped up during the current state of emergency, with nearly 25 oversight processes, new checks at sales points and street operations, and case information shared with the National Police and the Public Ministry.
- Operators detailed new controls such as dual biometric verification, geolocation-based activation blocking, one-line-per-person monthly limits, seller-code blocking, and AI-driven monitoring, along with criminal complaints against offenders.
- A leaked audio quoting Claro’s general manager acknowledging roughly 75% of its SIM sales were ambulatory underscored the scale of the problem even as OSIPTEL moves to train Lima district inspectors in coming days.
