Hi All, I am planning to buy the Nothing Phone 2 in India and use in the UK. The 5G/4G bands are same in both the phones. Just want to if the phone is Locke...

Please see the conversation above, the India SIM only variant of Phone 2 will need unlocking on an India network with an India SIM (Local, non roaming) before being able to use it in other regions. This process will need to be repeated should you factory reset the phone.

Derren Cheers Mate..

Couple of questions to community.

Does the phone use internet service/ sms for activating it?
any information if Nothing has software to unlock it using a PC or ADB commands something of that sort?

Thanks all.

I have finally canceled my order for Nothing Phone 2 because of the region lock. Got the OnePlus 11R instead.

M stuck with this stupid brick

This is stupid. What if you have to factory reset your phone while on a buisness trip. You end up with a glorified brick.

If the phone had a list of Indian sim cards and would activate if it was inserted would still be fine but this is a joke of a solution.

I purchased a Nothing Phone 2 in India and currently use it with my Airtel SIM card. I will be traveling to Japan next month and want to know if I can use my phone with a Japanese SIM card during my visit.

SIJISUKUMARAN As long as you never reset your phone while outside of India

ajithwilson Hey 👋

Please see the information above. India SIM units will need to be unlocked with an India network SIM (local, non roaming) before use in other regions. This is also the process if for any reason you need to reset your phone to factory settings.

Since you’re not in India at the moment i suggest getting in touch with support to see if they are able to assist.

Hope I know this before purchasing.

NOTHING- Please don’t make yourself stupid with these kind of nonsense things. I request you to stick to your motto ‘sophisticated yet simple’. Please help with unlocking the phone for those who have already purchased without this knowledge and mention this info clearly in your product info to the costumer from now.

Derren so if my phone upgrades and just restarts, I believe it will still work? Only Factory Reset will mess it up?

Derren I want to return this garbage phone 2 with so many garbage restrictions, Why not it allow to activate in roming, is it bigger company than Apple?

Derren

AmitDeshmukh Yes, as far as im aware only factory reset will require unlocking the device.

Derren

RajatChoudhary Please see information in this thread regarding India SIM units

RajatChoudhary

this phone was designed for comfort and ease of access.

Big troubles like this and that too at initial set up is a breach of that comfort and ease of access.

DISSAPONTED.

Derren

RajatChoudhary Apologies for the frustration, it may be worth getting in touch with support to see if they are able to help. Was there any particular reason that you needed to pick up the India SIM variant over the international version?
