My phone is region locked and can only accept South East Asia SIM cards. Can I still use this card in Australia?
The new Samsung phone models have a sticker showing “South East Asia SIM Cards only” in the packaging. The message simply means you need to use a South East Asia SIM card to activate the phone. After you made calls of at least 5 minutes with the phone, your phone will then be able to use any SIM cards worldwide.
