Regarding the distribution by user contracting method, the lines with monthly rental (which includes both postpaid and control plan) that carried traffic in the last three months totaled 19.97 million at the end of 2025, more than 52%.
For their part, the lines under the prepaid modality that registered traffic in that same period reached 18.26 million.
At the national level, the total number of active mobile lines in the country (those that are enabled regardless of whether they have had traffic or not), at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, exceeded 43 million.
In this way, the public mobile telecommunications services supervised by OSIPTEL are among the most important in the country.

All of this contributes to development and national cohesion.
