Overview
- - The telecom regulator CRT, which launched the “Registra tu línea” campaign Monday, repeated that it will not extend the deadline for linking every mobile line to a user’s CURP.
- - Only 30.2 million lines are registered so far, roughly 19% of the 158–161 million in use, with AT&T at 29% of its base, Bait 28%, Telcel 19% and Movistar 16%.
- - To meet the cutoff, the country would need about 1.5–1.84 million registrations per day, yet the daily pace fell about 15% from about 352,000 to 299,000 validations.
- - Registration happens with carriers, not the federal government, and companies keep only name, CURP and number without storing biometrics, while access by authorities requires a legal order.
- - Lines that miss the cutoff lose calls, texts and mobile data but keep emergency dialing and alerts, and users can regain full service after late registration, though some may try to rely on Wi‑Fi apps in the interim.
