The Commission for Regulatory Telecommunications (CRT) in Mexico reported that 80.9 million mobile lines were linked to national identity numbers (CURP) as of September 3. [^1]

The Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones (CRT) reported on September 3 that 68.71% of mobile phone lines ending in '1' were registered out of a total of 13.9 million numbers. [^2]

A total of 9,550,278 lines ending in '1' had completed the linking procedure, equivalent to 83% of the estimated total. [^3]

The 80.9 million linked lines represent 67.4% of the total lines expected to be incorporated into the national registry. [^4]

Approximately 2.5 million phone lines ending in '1' are expected to remain unused because they were promotional chips that were never activated or belonged to temporary visitors. [^5]

Of the 1.9 million lines disconnected for failing to link their CURP and voter ID, the CRT stated that owners can recover their service immediately by completing the registration process. [^6]

The CRT announced that the registration deadline for phone lines ending in '2' is September 15, '3' is September 30, '4' is October 15, '5' is October 31, '6' is November 15, '7' is November 30, '8' is December 15, and '9' is December 31. [^7]
