In this guide, we will show you the steps to bypass the Indian SIM card lock on your Nothing Phone 2. The smartphone market is currently going through cut-throat competition, with a slew of devices from numerous OEMs offering exceptional products at a price that wouldn’t burn a hole in your pockets. So to step into such a competitive domain with a product that is testing the waters was quite a bold move from Nothing.

Fast forward a year later, we could now easily say that the gamble did indeed pay off. With that said, the OEM releases its devices in selected regions only, whether it’s due to logistic reasons or simply to build up more hype in those regions is anyone’s guess. However, even if the device isn’t officially sold in your country, you could still get hold of it by purchasing it from numerous third-party sites or exporting it from one of the supported countries.

But doing so comes with a risk attached- your carrier might not support it. As a result of which, you wouldn’t be able to place or receive calls and messages, thereby making the device literally a paperweight. Fortunately, there now exists a nifty workaround using which you could bypass the Indian SIM card lock on your Nothing Phone 2. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
