Telefónica Movistar reported that its active cell line park in Mexico was located at 21 million 627,892 accesses in 2024.
The figure means that the Mexican subsidiary lost 3.9% of its mobile users between 2023 and 2024, equivalent to 900,191 cellular lines less year against year.
In terms of volume, the quota of users who abandoned Movistar in 2024 would add more cellular accesses than a combined mobile wallets of Izzi Telecom and megacable, which together attended to 814,000 subscribers in 2024; And it was also superior to the TotalPlay cellular user park in the same exercise: 852,000 accesses.
The mobile internet line business is more related to the postpago plans segment also descended by 159,754 accesses; From 9.63 million to 9.47 million of this type of subscriptions in a year.
Movistar Mexico is still the largest cellular operation for the Spanish group in America, except Brazil, even when Movistar went from 22.6 million users in 2023, to 21.62 million cellular customers in 2024, as reports from the same company.
As for the collection of resources, Telefónica entered 26,590.30 million pesos throughout the year and its level of billing contributed 4.3% of the total income that the entire telecommunications industry in Mexico reported during the fourth quarter of 2024.
This is the photograph of Movistar Mexico at the moment in which Telefónica has put the sale again to its Mexican brand, in addition to other subsidiaries, with sales already agreed in Argentina and Colombia, two larger businesses compared to Movistar here.
The data that updates the size of the Movistar cell lines park in Mexico is therefore transcendent for those interested in evaluating a sale of that subsidiary, because it has been presented to the regulator, hence Telefónica has been cautious in revealing that number quarter to quarter.
Foreign media versions suggest that Walmart and Beyond One would be interested in Movistar Mexico, even though the second of those interested potentials has greater knowledge of the Middle East market and while Walmart increases its volume of users with their Bait operator month by month.
The Movistar brand cell user park is the main asset of Telefónica in Mexico, although the company also has an IoT business that is attractive to its competitors and also a participation in the high capacity telecommunications group (GTAC) to exploit in Dark Fiber concession of the state -owned CFE.
