On January 9, 2026, Mexico enacted a new law requiring all cell phone numbers to be verifiably associated with an individual. Any cell phone number not associated with a person and their government-issued ID by June 30, 2026, will be suspended until/unless the number is registered by a verified user.
If you have an active Mexican cell phone number:
Whether you are situated in Mexico or abroad (or travel between countries); and Whether that number is active with a physical SIM card or a virtual eSIM; and Whether you are on a contract or a prepay phone plan; and You want to keep the line active—
You’ll need to act by June 30.
---
Requirements for registration
Beginning January 9, 2026 all Mexican cell phone numbers must have a verified person associated with the number.
Mexicans: Mexicans can register their cell phones using their INE Card or their Mexican passport.
Foreigners: Foreigners, whether visitors to Mexico or legal residents, will need to use a valid passport. If you are a legal resident of Mexico, the process will automatically match your name and passport details to your CURP.
Existing active cell phone lines
There are an estimated 127 million active cell phone lines (numbers) in Mexico.
All existing active lines must be registered by June 30 to prevent the number from being suspended. Individuals can register up to 10 cell phone numbers in their own name.
Depending on how you acquired your existing Mexican cell phone, the number might or might not already be registered to you.
If your number gets suspended, it won’t be cancelled immediately. It will be reactivated when you register, but telephone companies will likely cancel numbers that are not registered after a (presently undefined) period of time.

Again...

Coming to America at some point?
Or are all of us already in some database somewhere?
The idea is to reduce or eliminate spoofing, pranking, and fraud.
“Foreigners, whether visitors to Mexico or legal residents, will need to use a valid passport”
Wait, you have to comply with Mexican law and have a PASSPORT there?!
But But they tell us such a thing is Waciss!
How could this be!
(Coming to America at some point?)
YES. Social Security NOW requires this to log in to the website.
(Or are all of us already in some database somewhere?)
YES. Probably several database servers besides private businesses.
“The idea is to reduce or eliminate spoofing, pranking, and fraud.”
I believe you’ll still be able to do voice over IP. I think you get to choose the number that the other person sees. Also, criminals will probably step up to satellite phones that can interact with the network but won’t be shut off when the law goes into effect. As I see it, this adds a few steps and some expense but won’t stop genuine criminals, as opposed to teenagers doing prank calls.
If tried in America, it will violate the 4th amendment.
Would that help to eliminate “Potential Spam” calls?
The criminals who prey on people via cell phone or the Internet need to be hunted down and killed.
On no...
Guadalajara won’t do ...
Hehehe
I’m afraid 😨😳 I’m going to have to ..... AGREE WITH THAT
Remember, Mexico is a socialist country. Has been for 100+ years.
When I bought a SIM card in Spain, the seller registered my passport with the Spanish government.
(“Big Brother is watching you” is
no longer a fictional admonition.)
That’s Just A Silly Conspiracy Theory ™️
You Can Trust Government!
Now Shut Up!
And take your COVID-19(84) va666ine jabs, Global Citizen!
And in America they have GPS trackers and shut off switches in your car.
So, tourists don’t have to register, I guess.
(Remember, Mexico is a Socialist Country.)
Oh ...
Just like New York City!!! 🏙️🏙️🏙️🏙️🏙️🏙️
The Drug Cartels will hate that one! The may have to go to Star Link under assumed names!
