No! This is the single biggest advantage of our eSIM. Chile has a strict law (Homologación) that used to require tourists to register their phone's IMEI, or it would be blocked after 30 days. Cellesim eSIMs are roaming-based, which classifies you as a "tourist" and makes you exempt from this entire bureaucratic process. You can buy online and connect instantly without any registration.
