Do I need to register my phone's IMEI (Homologación) to use WorldESIM in Chile?

No, you do not need to register your phone's IMEI (Homologación) to use WorldESIM in Chile. Chile's 'Homologación' law previously required tourists to register their device's IMEI to prevent it from being blocked after 30 days. However, WorldESIM operates as a roaming-based service, which classifies you as a 'transient user' under Chilean regulations. This crucial distinction means you bypass the entire IMEI registration process, providing a hassle-free and compliant way to stay connected throughout your travels across Chile, from Santiago to Patagonia.
