No! This is the single biggest advantage of our eSIM. The Indonesian government requires tourists using local SIM cards to register their phone's IMEI at the airport to avoid being blocked after 90 days. Cellesim eSIMs are roaming-based, which classifies you as a "tourist" and makes you 100% exempt from this entire bureaucratic process. You can buy online and connect instantly without any registration or fear of your phone being blocked.
