Buying a mobile phone abroad and using it here

I'm bring a new cellular phone from the UK when we come back next month and bearing in mind that there was supposed to be a new law which would come into effect early this year, I'm wondering if anyone else has brought one into Arg in the last few months? And also if they had any problems using it.

The one I'm buying will be unlocked anyway, but there was talk of blocking IMEI numbers for phones that had not been declared. However, it seems this may have died a death, because quite rightly the question was asked about tourists etc and not just the castigated Argentines.

In this article it looks like the idea was shelved, but I can't be sure.

Edit:

It does seem to have fizzled out according to these reports.

I believe serafina may have experience of this.

Quote from Bigboxer

I brought some from abroad (Canada) in may, did not register upon entry work fine!

That's good to hear Bigboxer

serafina and how were customs at Ezeiza?

I never speak Spanish at Ezeiza and always try to look as dumb as possible, which isn't that difficult for me

It never came into law apparently

Yes I did and it's superb.

I asked my daughter Genevieve to order a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on Amazon before I left for the UK and she placed it on the dinner table when I was least expecting it, which was a lovely surprise.

It was launched in August 2017 and now that it's been superseded by the Note 9, I managed to get it for £570 (launch price £950).

I wanted it because it has a dual 12Mp camera, the S Pen for writing notes, 6 Gb RAM and it has a 6.3 in screen.

My Galaxy S8 is now up for sale, if anyone is interested?

Oh and coming through customs with both phones didn't produce any problems at all and that stupid form form they make they you fill in ended up in the toilet.
