Overview
- Eligible recipients include beneficiaries of federal social programs, upper-secondary and higher-education students, and residents of priority communities.
- Each activated SIM provides a year of service with a monthly package of 5 GB of data, 1,500 voice minutes and 500 SMS, and unused data does not carry over.
- Applicants are generally asked to present official ID, CURP and proof of address, and must use an unlocked, compatible phone; minors require a birth certificate and CURP.
- Distribution is announced regionally through convocatorias and temporary modules coordinated with Bienestar delegations, and authorities have not posted a unified national schedule.
- After the 12-month free period ends the automatic package stops but the SIM remains usable, and users can continue service with CFE TEIT’s low-cost plans, which include options starting around 150 pesos available online.
