Overview
- Registration began January 9 and runs through June 30, after which unlinked lines must be blocked from July 1 with access limited to emergency calls and alerts.
- The CRT will open a public lookup in early February to let people see numbers tied to their CURP, and Movistar says its consultation tool will go live on February 8.
- Telcel and other operators have launched official online and in‑person channels to complete the linkage using an ID and CURP, with companies urging users to stick to verified links.
- Most postpaid lines are already identified through contracts, while prepaid users generally must register; suspended numbers can be recovered within each plan’s lifecycle, including up to 90 days after the last top‑up for prepaid.
- Authorities and carriers report rising impersonation scams, some using AI‑generated voices, and remind users that registry data is protected by law, wiretaps still require a court order, and CURP unlinking is available through documented procedures.
