Why You Should Register Your IMEI When Buying an eSIM or SIM Card in Indonesia

If you’re planning to use a new eSIM or physical SIM card in Indonesia, you must be aware of the IMEI registration process. The Indonesian government requires all devices to have their International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) registered for access to local networks. This ensures compliance with regulations and prevents the use of stolen or unauthorized devices.

At Balisim, we help simplify this process by offering 90-day IMEI registration for your convenience. Here’s everything you need to know, including why you’ll need to provide a screenshot of your IMEI and a copy of your passport.

What Is IMEI Registration and Why Is It Important?

1. Ensures Network Access

Unregistered devices are blocked from connecting to local networks. If you don’t register your IMEI, you won’t have access to services like internet access, data plans, and voice calls.

2. Prevents Illegal Device Use

The regulation helps combat the use of stolen or counterfeit devices, ensuring that all connected devices in Indonesia comply with legal standards.

How Does the 90-Day IMEI Registration Work?

At Balisim, we provide a 90-day IMEI registration for travelers. This temporary registration allows you to use your device in Indonesia for three months without issues. Here’s how the process works:

Step 1: Provide Your IMEI

  • Find your IMEI: Dial *#06# on your device to display your IMEI number.
  • Take a screenshot of your IMEI as proof.

Step 2: Submit Your Passport

  • A scanned or photographed copy of your passport is required for the registration.

Step 3: Activate Your eSIM or SIM Card

Once your IMEI is registered, you can activate your eSIM or physical SIM card and connect to reliable networks like Telkomsel.

Why Do We Need Your IMEI and Passport?

1. Compliance with Indonesian Regulations

The government mandates that IMEI registrations include personal identification, such as your passport, to verify the user’s identity.

2. Smooth Network Activation

By providing a screenshot of your IMEI and a copy of your passport, we ensure your device will have uninterrupted access to data packages, data usage, and internet connection throughout your stay.

What Happens If You Don’t Register Your IMEI?

If your device isn’t registered, you’ll face these limitations:

  • Loss of internet access and connectivity to mobile networks.
  • Inability to use data roaming or purchase data plans.
  • Potential fines for non-compliance with local laws.
