Overview
- Mobile operators have started a joint information campaign led by AMOMVAC and Anatel after the regulator declined to extend the June 30 cutoff and has not rolled out a promised outreach plan.
- Registrations stand at about 26.5 million of roughly 153 million active lines, or 17%, with companies warning the pace must jump from about 321,000 a day to around 1.3 million to avoid widespread suspensions.
- Unregistered numbers will be limited to emergency calls starting July 1, and users must link their line using a CURP and an official photo ID through carrier apps or service centers under a process that does not collect biometrics and keeps data with carriers.
- The rule covers postpaid and prepaid accounts on physical SIMs and eSIMs, while companies enroll corporate numbers with their RFC and guardians register minors’ lines using their own CURP.
- Data‑only SIMs, machine‑to‑machine and other IoT devices, and foreign roaming lines are exempt, even as rights groups cite privacy risks tied to past registry failures and users report platform glitches and access hurdles in rural areas.
