Since 23 Sep 2017 every device with IMEI has to be registered. If not, you will get the message "not registered in network". I personally used www.registratuimei.cl/en/ to register my device and it was on-line process. It costs $10.000 CLP. They needed foto of my: passport, device IMEI and a proof that I entered the country recently (e.g. stamp in passport), but you can use device invoice instead.

They declare to register you in 24-48 hours and there is some time needed to populate this to all network providers. However, I did it twice and the whole process took less then 12 hours for each device (I request for registration in working days).

The registration is required only for devices bought outside Chile. Possibly, there are also other ways to register.
