I know there are other popular plans (e.g. T-Mobile Simple Choice, AT&T...) but I am a TM pre-pay customer and I don't prefer to switch to those plans just for one or two international trips. Thanks!
I'm wondering about this too. I'd imagine that nano SIMs are now easily available if not universal, with adapters required to fit them in phones requiring larger sizes.
However this
Chile | Prepaid Data SIM Card Wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia page says:
"You are now free to go to use a Chilean SIM card in a device from abroad for
30 days without registration. This applies to most tourists in the country. Only if you stay for longer you will need to enlist your device in an IMEI whitelist to avoid being blocked. This doesn't apply to roaming SIM cards in Chile."
Apparently, it is free to register one device per year. Does this mean that the IMEI cache is "flushed" after a year, i.e. if you visit Chile again in LONGER than a year, you get another 30 days automatically? Reason I ask is that I will be in Chile in July 2019, and may be returning again in December 2020 (two total eclipses about 18 months apart).
