América Móvil to provide national roaming service to Telefónica México

Mexican telecoms giant América Móvil, controlled by tycoon Carlos Slim, said on Monday its Mexican unit had reached an agreement to provide a national roaming service to its main competitor in the local market, Telefónica México.

América Móvil serves two-thirds of the Latin American country's mobile phone market, followed by Spain's Telefónica, which operates in Mexico under the Movistar brand.
