The regulation was put in place in order to implement [[mobile number portability]].<ref name="Chile-ban">{{cite web|title=Empez贸 a regir desbloqueo de equipos celulares|url=http://historico.subtel.gob.cl/noticias/141-portabilidad-numerica-fija-movil/2303-empezo-a-regir-desbloqueo-de-equipos-celulares|publisher=Subsecretario de Telecomunicaciones|access-date=13 August 2015|language=es|date=2 January 2012|quote=Normativa de SUBTEL establece que desde el 01 de enero de 2012, todos los equipos terminales que sean utilizados en las redes m贸viles, no deber谩n, desde el momento de su ofrecimiento al p煤blico bajo cualquier modalidad contractual, estar bloqueados o afectos a configuraciones t茅cnicas que restrinjan su uso s贸lo a la red de una operadora.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017082659/http://historico.subtel.gob.cl/noticias/141-portabilidad-numerica-fija-movil/2303-empezo-a-regir-desbloqueo-de-equipos-celulares|archive-date=2015-10-17|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, the law only requires phones to be usable with all Chilean providers.
