The Peruvian government has officialized Supreme Decree No. 018-2026-MTC, requiring all advertising calls and text messages to display the exclusive number series '500'. Telecommunications companies have 180 days to adapt their systems, with each '500' number identifying a unique provider. The measure aims to enhance user protection against commercial harassment and clarify the identity of providers.
