Hey 👋

Please check out the information in this thread.

If you factory reset the phone, you will need to reactivate again with a India SIM on a India network (local-non roaming)

If you are unable to do so, i recommend contacting support.

Advait

pavankalyan_AsKnMWN7yu you will need an indian sim for intial setup after factory reset

this is specifically done for the indian unit

If I send my phone to India it will work with Indian sim card

If an option is to take the phone back to India to reactivate, then yes this should work.

Derren so if i carry my nothing phone to Canada, is there any service centre or any other places to exchange my device or is there any possibility to convert my device into internationally compactable?

Best thing to do would be to get in touch with the support team to see if they are able to help

Derren I bought a Samsung Galaxy S20FE in India (not from Nothing, I bought it in person from a Samsung store). I activated it in India using an Indian sim, and then used it overseas with an overseas sim. I did a factory reset in Japan and then used it with a New Zealand sim with no problems. In my case, the region lock was not reinstated by doing a factory reset, it remained unlocked. I just wanted to share my experience to show that there is no hard and fast rule, it can vary from device to device.

Would there be any similar problem (such as requiring region activation) if I happened to buy a nothing phone sold in Germany, for example, and used it in Sweden?

Mr Steel

JohnS no there’s not

Derren If let say I bought the nothing2 in India and inserted a India sim, after 2 days I go to US and inserted my American sim. So from above comments this american sim will work with no resets right…

VivekBhagat

AshishJuttu yes it will work just don’t reset it or else you have to use Indian sim again to activate it.

Hi I am planning to buy nothing phone 2 from India and use it in Saudi

Will it work in saudi if I activate my phone with an Indian sim in India and change to a local Saudi sim when I arrive in Saudi ?

And also why are people factory resetting their phone ?

And will doing normal Shutdown cause me problems of again activating the phone again with an Indian sim ??

And also will I have to use specific Saudi sim or I can choose any Saudi sim brand ?

I’ve travelled umpteen times out of India……it’s very rare that one resets a phone while travelling…. usually it’s only a restart!

All you travelers, think about the last time you travelled and reset your phone!
