我九月要去智利，先前查詢智利在去年九月開始規定外國人如果要在當地買sim卡必須要
先註冊手機才能購買與使用，於是最近去信其中一家認證公司註冊，認證公司回說因為系
統調整中（？）的關係，直到今年11/10前都可以免去註冊程序，直接插卡使用。
分享給最近也要去智利的背包客們~
回文全文如下：
Dear Mr., Mrs.
The system of registration ofIMEIs in the centralized database (OABI) is in
the process of modification,therefore it is not necessary to perform the
administrative registration ofmobile phones. It is enough for you to insert
the SIMCard of the Chileannetwork operator you wish to hire, so that your
phone works without problems.
OABI will start operating againfrom next November 10, 2018. All phones used
before this date do not needto be registered in OABI, as they will be
automatically entered by the operatorwith whom your mobile phone has worked.
From November 10, 2018, if a telephonetries to connect to the network of a
Chilean operator and is not in OABI, itwill be incorporated into the
temporary registry, which will allow it tooperate in national mobile networks
for a single term of 30 calendar days.After this period, and not requesting
the Administrative Registration, thephone will be disabled to operate in
Chile's mobile networks.
Additionally, we tell you thatthere are manufacturers that block the software
of their phones so that theycan not be used with all existing network
operators in the world, so it ispossible that, when inserting the SIMCard of
a network operator from Chile, thephone displays a message such as "Network
lock", "Enter NCKcode", "Enter unlock code", etc. In which case we
asCertification Company can not do anything about it, and the only way to use
thephone is by entering the unlock code, which you have to request directly
withthe manufacturer of the phone or with the network operator where you
bought thephone.
If your phone has other problems,such as able to make phone calls but do not
have internet (or vice versa), wesuggest you contact your service provider to
review the problem. But this hasnot relation with the registration of the
IMEI of the phone in OABI.
