Not according to the regulator. OSIPTEL, as reported by Infobae on 23 February 2026, says a tourist in roaming has nothing to do. The 48-hour blocking risk concerns phones bought abroad and used with a Peruvian SIM without registration in the RENTESEG whitelist. Travel eSIMs usually work in roaming, and UnlistedSIM asks for no ID at checkout.
