Overview
- The regulator reports 8.5 million lines registered to date, while estimates of total active lines range widely from about 141 million to more than 160 million.
- The deadline remains June 30, 2026, with no extension signaled, despite industry requests and citizen amparos seeking to pause the requirement.
- At the current pace, full registration would take roughly two and a half years, far short of the target, with analysts noting daily registrations would need to be close to one million versus the current fraction of that.
- Telefónica Movistar says some users risk being limited to emergency services if they do not register in time, and it has set monthly targets and communication campaigns to accelerate sign-ups.
- Officials say only name and CURP are collected with no biometrics and operators must safeguard the data, as carriers rush to build secure platforms and processes that they say will not add direct costs to consumers.
