Overview
- Only about 28–30 million of roughly 162 million mobile lines are linked to a user’s CURP, leaving more than 133 million unregistered with no official extension to the June 30 cutoff.
- Lines that are not linked will be suspended starting July 1 and restricted to emergency and customer‑service calls, with reactivation possible once the owner completes enrollment.
- Federal district courts are receiving waves of amparo lawsuits in May, and some filers have secured provisional stays that prevent operators from cutting service while cases proceed.
- The rules ban carriers from storing biometrics, photos, or ID copies, yet experts warn that activating lines with only an ID and CURP could enable identity theft or fraud.
- CRT guidelines exempt data‑only and machine‑to‑machine SIMs, cap individuals at 10 registered lines, and users exploring foreign eSIMs have been warned regulators may later address those workarounds.
