AT&T Mexico reports prepaid slowdown due to line linking

AT&T Mexico saw a 3.11% slowdown in net prepaid additions in Q1 2026, blamed on the mandatory mobile line linking process started by the CRT on January 9. Despite this, revenues rose 20.8% to $1,173 million and EBITDA increased 14% to $220 million.

AT&T Mexico, led by Mónica Aspe Bernal, reported 16,835 net additions in its prepaid segment from January to March 2026, down from 17,376 in the same period of 2025. The company blamed the drop on the mandatory mobile line linking process enforced by the Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones (CRT) since January 9.

"In Prepaid, there was an expected decrease due to the line linking process (…) in Postpaid, growth was 18.2% year-over-year, reaching more than 7 million customers," the company told its shareholders.

Despite the prepaid decline, financials were strong. Mexico revenues grew 20.8% to $1,173 million, and EBITDA hit $220 million, up 14% from Q1 2025. This extends a streak of 29 consecutive quarters of operational cash flow growth.

"In Q1 2026 we recorded solid financial performance, driven by disciplined execution and increasingly efficient operations," said Mónica Aspe. She highlighted a focus on profitability and strategic investments to enhance customer experience.
