Osiptel telecommunications regulation in Peru

Overview

The Peruvian telecommunications regulator, Osiptel, has taken steps to address consumer issues and illegal equipment trade. Initially, the agency clarified reporting procedures for unsolicited spam calls, directing consumers to Indecopi for unauthorized advertising and the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data for privacy concerns.

Following these regulatory clarifications, Osiptel initiated a three-stage process in September to block 300,000 mobile phones. This measure targets devices not listed on the Renteseg white list and those linked to individuals associated with altered IMEI numbers. This action is part of a larger campaign against the illegal mobile equipment trade, which has seen approximately 5.3 million devices blocked since April 2025.
