Enterprise SMS in Mexico: Market Overview

Regulatory Framework for SMS in Mexico
The telecommunications and data protection landscape in Mexico is regulated by IFT / INAI. Compliance with local A2P SMS regulations is not optional — non-compliant traffic is actively filtered at the carrier level and can result in route blocks, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
Mexico’s LFPDPPP (Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties) governs SMS marketing. IFT regulates telecommunications. INAI enforces data protection. Mexico’s REUS (Registry of Mobile Device Users) applies.
SBS Telecom’s Compliance & Regulatory Affairs team continuously monitors regulatory changes in Mexico and all markets we serve. Our clients benefit from proactive compliance guidance at no additional charge.
