No! This is the single biggest advantage of our eSIM. Buying a physical local SIM in Ecuador can be very difficult as the government requires a complicated IMEI registration process to prevent theft. Our eSIM is a roaming plan, which classifies you as a "tourist" and makes you exempt from this entire bureaucratic process. You can connect instantly without fear of your phone being blocked.
