Immediate reconnection to '0' lines upon registration

Users in Mexico whose mobile phone lines ending in '0' were suspended can now have their service restored almost immediately upon completing the mandatory personal data registration with their operator. The Federal Telecommunications Commission (CRT) confirmed this, stating that individuals and businesses are required to link their lines to their CURP (Unique Population Registry Code) or RFC (Federal Taxpayer Registry) as part of a federal government strategy to combat extortion and fraud. The CRT emphasized that consumers can still register their data to avoid disconnection, as the 72-hour period following the August 15 deadline for lines ending in '0' has now passed. Regarding the number of suspended lines, the CRT informed EL UNIVERSAL that disconnections are being carried out gradually to avoid system disruptions. The authority, led by Norma Solano Rodríguez, expects the initial suspensions to signal the seriousness of the registration requirement. AT&T confirmed that suspended lines are reactivated promptly once the customer completes the linking process. The CRT anticipates that these initial suspensions will effectively communicate that non-compliant lines will indeed be disabled. A schedule is in place for further disconnections every 15 days, based on the last digit of the line number, with lines ending in '9' having a deadline of December 31.
