Overview
- Some operators are beginning to block recharges, calls or mobile data before the June 30 deadline to push users to register, according to customer‑service staff and an industry source.
- Listings on social media now advertise “pre‑registered” SIM cards and even forged IDs or generated CURPs, with offers ranging from about 27 to 1,000 pesos, raising identity‑theft and legal risks.
- The registry logged 2,151,802 validated lines in its first week of operation, far below the pace needed to cover roughly 158 million active numbers by the cutoff.
- The program requires linking each active line to a CURP or RFC, with unregistered numbers to be limited to emergency calls after the deadline; individuals can tie up to 10 lines to their identity.
- Data‑only and IoT SIMs are exempt, corporate lines must be registered to the legal entity in person, and officials reiterate that no centralized government database or biometric retention is part of the scheme.
