Did you buy your phone from overseas or through an unofficial channel? It is mandatory to check your IMEI on the official Customs (Bea Cukai) website!
Why is the Customs IMEI Check Important?
If your device’s International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is not registered and officially approved by Customs (meaning the duties/taxes were not paid if it exceeded the tax-free limit), the phone is considered unofficial in Indonesia.

⚠️ The Consequence: Phones with an officially unregistered IMEI WILL NOT RECEIVE SIGNAL from Indonesian cellular service providers. This means you won’t be able to make calls, send SMS, or use cellular data, as the phone will be blocked from the national telecommunication network. *

Important Note:
This policy aims to protect consumers and curb the circulation of illegal phones that cause losses to the state. Always ensure you buy phones from official distributors in Indonesia or handle the registration and tax payment with Customs if you bring a phone from abroad.
