CELL PHONE REGISTRATION
a. I just registed 3 cel phones yesterday at the Telcel in Cabo. Go
to the guy at the deck on your right, just inside the door. He
speaks english. He had me write down my phone number, he took a copy
of my passport, plugged in the info in the computer and he said wait
5 minutes and the phone would be ready and it was. I was out of
there in 5 minutes.
b. I was in La Paz and it took less that ten min. to register my
phone-new office is in Sorianos Parking
lot behind McDonalds-not busy and it was a breeze. Vickie Heaps
c. I tried but was unable to use the website to register as posted
in BPE 782, it asked me for an NIP number. Since I didn't have one,
I called TELCEL and was informed that ONLY Mexican citizens can use
the website for registration .. how they determine that is unknown
to me. The agent told me that I need to bring my passport to the
TELCEL office in San Jose to register the phone. My FM3 was not
useful either.
d. If you go to the webpage at
http://www.renaut.gob.mx click on ‘FUNDAMENTO LEGAL’ and
then download the PDF file of the rules or ‘reglas’, you arrive at
http://www.renaut.gob.mx/RENAUT/pdf/Reglas_del_RENAUT.pdf
this documents the rules under the law in question in the DIARIO
OFICIAL.
On the last page under the heading ‘Transitorios’, subsection two or
‘Segundo’ it reads in Spanish: “Segundo.- En tanto el RENAPO, no
tenga disponible el registro de la CURP de todos los extranjeros en
la República Mexicana, los Proveedores de Servicio podrán activar el
servicio conservando copia del pasaporte.”
Basically translated, it says for the foreigners in the Mexican
Republic, the Service Providers (of cellular service) can activate
the service by retaining a copy of the passport.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
e. I have movistar cell phone. Anyone know of a link to register
that breed? Please post or respond to
satterleed@yahoo.com
thanks
f. via the BajaWesternOnion.com : Registering Cell Phones (Courtesy,
La Paz Gringos) - According to
www.bajanomad.com , any local cell phone(Telcel or
Movistar) activated before April 2009 needs to be registered with a
nat'l registery called RENAUT. You'll need to go to your service
provider with passport and 3 copies of passport and fill out a bunch
of forms before April 10th 2010 or your phone will probably stop
working. The only website I could find was a Spanish verision but
you can use a translating software like bablefish.com. The site is
www.renaut.gob.mex/ I did verify this with my housekeeper, but
hadn't seen any other info.
Any phone that uses a USA service (AT&T Verizon etc) is not
effected. You might want to notify all your friends who might not
see this post. - Rick Shannon

Ferry Vehicle Permit Info - My husband is in the process of getting
his imagrado card, he has had his FM2 for 5 yrs, we went to La Paz
to get our vehicle permit to go to mainland Mexico, the lady at the
ferry office would not give him the permit, because he is in
imagrado status. Once you are applying for imagrado or have your
imagrado card, (you are now a Mexican resident) by law your vehicle
is suppose to be imported. As his wife I have my FM2 and was able to
get the vehicle permit as long as your name is on the vehicle
registration. March 18 2010 - Stan Sorenson,
