I didn't want to fiddle with the phones after that. We are returning the phones (luckily someone is traveling there). Samsung must be clear on the activation process whether it is a call or a call while the phone is connected to the Internet. I think for our case, our friend made the calls...
We had a friend buy two phones in Saudi Arabia, told him to call for at least 5 minutes. Afterwards, he sent them to us (outside Saudia). Upon inserting our local SIM, the unlock screen came. The phones were bought contract free.
If you are sure that you will never go outside your country, then Note 3 maybe better. But if you travel outside your country, it's a big no due to the region lock in Note 3.
I can confirm the exynos version for Saudi Arabia is also region locked. By the way what could be a better alternative to the Note 3 taking into consideration the Note 3 is not suitable for frequent travellers?
The Note 3 is an amazing phone, but if you plan to travel out of your country, could turn into a nightmare due to the region lock. The so called activation does not work. Take it from my experience.
Don't buy the Note 3 if you plan to travel outside your country. It is as simple as that. Even the so called activation does not work. Look for another manufacturer.
Before rushing to do anything, please research alot especially how to backup your EFS, otherwise you may end up with a wireless phablet without a phone. Worse you could end up with a brick:(
Then it's best if you could list aspects and functions you consider important. Am on Dr. Ketan 4.3V3.
For me call recording is a must and now ability to export sms from the stock messaging app is a plus. I have gotten close to 4.5 hours screen time coupled with crazy browsing and FB. I find...
