Ongoing till 10 Got a Mexican cell phone? New Mexican government regulations state that you must register it by April 10 or it will be deactivated. The easiest thing to do is head over to any Telcel office, with your passport (not an FM3 or driver’s license) and have the friendly folks there do whatever it is they need to do. It’s free and easy, albeit possibly time-consuming.
