Mexico mobile proxies for app and ad checks on Mexican carrier networks
Carrier exits in Mexico on Telcel, AT&T, Movistar and Altán Redes, the wholesale network whose lines are sold by virtual operators such as Walmart’s Bait. Pick Mexico with -cc-mx and keep one exit for as long as 6 hours; traffic costs $3.99 per GB at the first tier and $2.19 from 1,000 GB.
Telcel’s share of lines57.53%
Telcel’s part of the 146,147,478 mobile lines the CRT counted as active in late 2025.
Telcel in APNIC’s data4.93%
The share of users APNIC measures in Mexico that Telcel’s AS28403 carries.
Smartphone users on Wi-Fi89.5%
INEGI, 2025: 72.8% use Wi-Fi and mobile data, 16.7% Wi-Fi alone.
Lines linked to an ID100.3M
Mobile lines tied to a named holder by 4 November 2026, the CRT reports.
How phones connect
Most Mexican smartphones also run on home Wi-Fi
INEGI’s 2025 survey asked smartphone users how they get online. Of the 103.2 million people with a mobile phone, 97.0% had a smartphone.
A phone on home Wi-Fi shows the household ISP, which helps explain why Telcel, with 57.53% of active lines, carries only 4.93% of the users APNIC measures in Mexico, against 34.8% on Telmex’s home network, AS8151.
Carriers
Mexican mobile carriers and what a lookup prints
The CRT, which took over from the IFT in 2025, counts active lines per group. A lookup shows the network instead, and Walmart’s Bait has no ASN of its own in APNIC’s table.
| Carrier | Name in a lookup | ASN | Active lines, Q4 2025 | Share of users | IPv6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telcel (América Móvil) | RadioMovil Dipsa, S.A. de C.V. | AS28403 | 57.53% | 4.9% | 47.2% |
| AT&T | AT&T COMUNICACIONES DIGITALES S DE RL | AS28469 | 16.47% | 1.6% | 19.3% |
| Movistar (Telefónica) | PEGASO PCS | AS7438 | 13.77% | 1.0% | 0.3% |
| Bait (Walmart) | Not listed | None in APNIC’s table | 7.46% | Not listed | Not listed |
| Altán Redes | ALTAN REDES, S.A.P.I. de C. V. | AS265540 | Wholesale only | 1.5% | 0.2% |
Lines: CRT, Reporte de Datos del Sector de Telecomunicaciones, fourth quarter of 2025; 25 other companies held 6,980,252 lines. The APNIC Labs columns, user share and IPv6, are per ASN, 24–25 October 2026. Only US, UK and German logins take carrier keys, so for Mexico the code below reads the carrier from the ASN, and from the name for Altán.
Altán Redes
A network that sells only to other operators
Altán Redes describes itself as a Mexican telecom company selling wholesale mobile and home internet services, and says end users sign up through virtual operators. Its home page links the line-registration pages of about 90 of them, Walmart’s Bait and CFE Internet among them.
Altán advertises a 4.5G LTE network that covers more than 94% of the population, over 110 million Mexicans. APNIC puts 1.52% of Mexico’s measured users on its AS265540, and only 0.22% of them can use IPv6, so an Altán exit almost always shows an IPv4 address.
On 26 October 2026 twelve exits through our mobile login all landed in Mexico: eight on Altán Redes, two on Telcel, and one each on Movistar and AT&T. The Altán lookups came back with the company name and no ASN, which is why the script further down accepts the name as well as AS265540.
Line linking
Every mobile line tied to a named holder in 2026
- Each line is being linked to its holder’s official ID with a CURP. People do it with their phone company, online or in a shop; the CRT says it is not a government procedure, and the companies collect and keep the data.
- Deadlines follow the last digit of the number, starting on 15 August 2026 for lines ending in 0. The CRT’s remaining dates are 15 November (6), 30 November (7), 15 December (8) and 31 December (9).
- A line that misses its deadline is suspended. It can still call emergency and citizen-service numbers and its own company, receive the seismic alert, and come back once it is linked.
- By 4 November 2026, 100,295,922 lines were linked: 83.6% of what the CRT expects after clearing out about 25 million unused lines, such as gift SIMs never activated and single-use SIMs bought by visitors or with promotions.
- Of lines ending in 5, due on 31 October, 9,421,077 were linked by 4 November.

|---|---|---|
| 1–9 GB | $3.99 | 5 GB for $19.95 |

For developers
A Mexican carrier exit, checked in Python and cURL
Open a sticky session with -cc-mx, look the exit up, and keep it only when the network is Telcel, AT&T, Movistar or Altán; anything else gets a fresh session key.

The dashboard generator lists the states and cities on offer for mobile in Mexico, with city placement where available, and our IP checker shows where an exit landed.

Personal data held by private companies falls under the 2025 LFPDPPP, in force since 21 March 2025 and enforced by the Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno. Its exception for “fuentes de acceso público” covers only sources a law opens to public consultation, so a profile or listing does not qualify just because anyone can see it. Fines reach 320,000 times the UMA and can double for sensitive data.
The July 2025 telecom law created the CRT, which now publishes the market data and the line-linking calendar. On a carrier exit as on a home line, keep to public, logged-out data within each site’s terms; any personal data you do collect falls under the LFPDPPP.

Mexico mobile proxy questions
A proxy that sends your requests out through a Mexican carrier’s address, so a site sees a phone on Telcel, AT&T, Movistar or the Altán network. Pick it for mobile ad checks and app traffic, where the network type can change what you get back. For bulk price collection a household exit costs $0.50 per GB less.
No Mexican mobile figure is published. Exits run on Mexican carriers such as Telcel, AT&T, Movistar and Altán Redes; build a Mexico mobile login in the dashboard to see what is on offer.
Not in the login: carrier keys exist only for the US, the UK and Germany. Check each exit’s ASN instead, AS28403 for Telcel, AS28469 for AT&T, AS7438 for Movistar and AS265540 or the name Altán Redes for Altán, and open a new session when it is not the one you need. The Python example does this.
Eight of the twelve exits in our 26 October 2026 sample were on Altán. Altán sells only wholesale: the lines on its network are sold by virtual operators, Walmart’s Bait among them, so one network carries many brands. Its addresses are almost all IPv4, with 0.22% of its measured users able to use IPv6.
Altán, the network behind most of our sample, advertises 4.5G LTE. For the other carriers, the coverage map the CRT published on 29 October 2026 compares each one’s coverage by locality. No login key picks the generation and a lookup does not show it. Ookla put Mexico’s median mobile download at 45.21 Mbps at the end of 2025.
Any length from 60 seconds to 6 hours. The time is in seconds, so -sid-cdmx01-time-3600 holds one exit for an hour and -time-21600 for the full six. Leave the session key out and each request can leave from a new exit.
Residential suits marketplace prices, listings and search results, at $0.50 per GB less on each tier, with 296K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026. Mobile suits checks that depend on the carrier network, such as app traffic and ads placed on phones.
The dashboard generator shows which states and cities are on offer for mobile in Mexico, and placement there is where available. Geolocation databases can put an exit in a neighbouring municipality, so confirm it in our IP checker before relying on the city.
The rules that matter concern the data you collect. The 2025 LFPDPPP covers personal data private companies hold, and its public-source exception is narrow, so keep to public, logged-out data within each site’s terms. This is not legal advice.
For accounts you own and within each platform’s rules, yes. A one-hour session with -time-3600 keeps an account on the same carrier exit while you work.
A free proxy’s owner is unknown to you and can see what passes through it, logins included. The free trial lets you try real Mexican carrier exits instead; its current terms are on the pricing page.
