Mexico virtual phone numbers

Mexico has specific telemarketing laws that businesses must comply with to avoid penalties.

• Consumers can register their phone numbers with the Public Consumer Registry (REPEP), administered by PROFECO, to block unsolicited marketing calls; once registered, suppliers have a 30-day period to stop all marketing calls or messages to that number.
• Suppliers must not send advertising to persons registered in REPEP or who have expressed they do not want to receive publicity; consent requirements are further reinforced by Mexico's 2025 data protection law (new LFPDPPP enacted March 20, 2025), with enforcement now by the Ministry of Anti-Corruption and Good Government following the dissolution of INAI, as outlined by White & Case.
• PROFECO may impose fines ranging from MX$701 to MX$2,243,671 for breaching REPEP provisions, with serious or repeat cases potentially resulting in business suspensions.

These regulations emphasize the need for businesses to adhere to country-specific rules when engaging in telemarketing within Mexico.

Mexico's economic outlook for 2026 is navigating uncertainty, with the world's 12th-largest economy leveraging nearshoring momentum and manufacturing strength while managing trade tensions with the United States.

• Manufacturing and Nearshoring: Mexico has become the top U.S. trading partner and a global nearshoring destination, with automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical device manufacturing expanding rapidly — particularly in the Bajío region (Guanajuato, Querétaro, Aguascalientes) and the northern border states.
• Energy: Mexico's energy sector is dominated by Pemex, the state oil company, which faces declining production from mature fields, high debt, and operational challenges. The government has prioritized energy sovereignty and Pemex stabilization, while renewable energy development has slowed due to policy uncertainty.
• Remittances and Services: Remittances from Mexicans in the United States exceed $60 billion annually — among the highest in the world — supporting household consumption and small business activity across the country. Tourism is also a major contributor, with Cancún, Mexico City, Los Cabos, and cultural destinations attracting over 45 million international visitors annually.

Overall, Mexico's economy in 2026 is shaped by a historic nearshoring and manufacturing boom, a challenged energy sector undergoing policy debate, and massive remittance and tourism flows, ensuring continued significance as the United States' most important trading partner.
