ManeshSandeepa_JL4m0bvh6T Please see the answer above - you’ll need a valid Indian SIM to set up the phone before it can be used outside of India
CMF Phone 1 - India SIM Only
adbo Understood. Will I be able to use an indian SIM outside of India to do the same?
ManeshSandeepa_JL4m0bvh6T As far as I know it’ll need to be connected to a valid Indian network, not roaming. But I don’t have personal experience with it

I have a question. How to start the wifi in a sim locked phone? can you tell me the process?
hadizaman1616 As far as I know, you have to go into the home screen to turn on Wifi and in SIM Locked CMF Phone 1, you will not be able to go to the home screen without unlocking your SIM. You can submit a support ticket to CMF Team mentioning your EMIE No. and ask them to unlock your Phone for your country. That how I got mine unlocked. It took me only couple of days.
I’ve already had the phone unlocked by Nothing support, and I inserted a SIM card, but it still prompts me to insert an Indian SIM card. A friend of mine who bought the Nothing Phone 2a Plus faced the same issue, but he was able to resolve it and connect to Wi-Fi when it was still asking for an indian sim within a couple of hours. Could you help me figure out how to connect to Wi-Fi without needing the Indian SIM card?
