In certain countries, devices that use a SIM card (phones, trackers, IoT hardware) must be registered with the national telecom authority. If not registered, the network may block the IMEI after an initial grace period.
Typical symptom: Your SIM worked at first and then suddenly stopped (no 4G, “no service,” or data won’t pass).
Example: In Chile, all cellular/IoT devices must be registered by IMEI with the Superintendence of Telecommunications (SUBTEL). Unregistered devices can be barred from the network.
What you should do
Find your IMEI
On the display: Settings → About → Network → IMEI
Check your country’s rules – Search your national regulator or ask your mobile carrier about IMEI/IoT device registration requirements.
Register the device – Provide IMEI, brand = CHIGEE, model = AIO-6 LTE, and any other info requested.
Wait for approval/propagation – This can take hours to a few days depending on the authority/carrier.
Reboot & recheck
Power-cycle the display.
Verify APN settings if your carrier requires a custom APN.
Confirm you have an active data plan and adequate signal at your location.
Registration policies are country-specific and can change—please follow your local authority’s latest guidance.
Using an unregistered device where registration is mandatory may lead to temporary service followed by a block.
If you travel internationally, the target country may also require IMEI registration to use local SIMs.
