Cellphone Blocker and Signal Jammer Device in Mexico

In Mexico, communications are actively developing those frequencies that are popular in European countries. The communications coverage is quite extensive. It is constantly developing and growing, bringing many opportunities to customers. In recent years, the cost of services has also been actively reduced, attracting more and more new customers. Development is also ongoing due to the increasing awareness of the country. At the same time, due to certain geographical characteristics, there are difficulties in the provision of standards, which greatly reduces the quality of coverage.

Generally speaking, mobile phones from other countries can also be used in Mexico. You should check the prices of roaming services, as they are quite expensive. It is better to use a local SIM card and service, which will significantly reduce the cost of mobile communications. Mexico has several mobile phone service providers that cover the entire country. To effectively block mobile phone signals, it is essential to know the frequency bands used by these operators. This article will introduce the main mobile phone providers in Mexico and the frequencies they currently use.

Mexico's regulatory body on signal jammer use

The IFT is the regulatory body responsible for regulating the use of signal jammers in Mexico. The IFT is an independent government organization established in 2013 to regulate telecommunications, broadcasting and competition in these sectors.

In Mexico, the use of signal jammers is prohibited except by authorized security and law enforcement agencies. This prohibition is based on Article 190 of the Federal Telecommunications Law and a decree issued by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) on January 26, 2017.

How to get legal authorization to use signal jammers in the country

Mexico prohibits the use of signal jammers by ordinary citizens. However, security agencies and law enforcement can use signal jammers after obtaining legal authorization from the IFT. Authorization is granted if the IFT is satisfied that the use of signal jammers is necessary to protect the safety of people or ensure public safety.
