What is a Mexico virtual phone number?
A Mexican virtual phone number is a real Mexico DID delivered over SIP. Mexico moved to 10-digit dialing nationwide in 2019, so all numbers are +52 NN XXXXXXXX with the leading digits identifying the city. Mexico City uses 55, Guadalajara 33, Monterrey 81. Mexico's regulator is IFT (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones).
IFT requires KYC for Mexican number allocations — Mexican RFC (taxpayer ID) for companies, or proof of identity for individuals, plus a Mexican address (residential or business). DIDHub manages the paperwork. Activation typically takes 2-5 business days.
