A Similar Experience
Poslano od Az Har Ibrahim u Saudijska Arabija forum
Dear friend...
am from kerala and i also had a similar experience.
I bought samsung note 3 from Madeena. At first. when i tried to insert indian sim, it asked for network unlock code.
So, i did a brief search and got the trick.
What u have to do is to factory reset the phone, then insert the saudi sim and make calls for atleast 100 minutes. Then keep the sim on the phone and when coming back to India, change the sim from flight before it lands.. it will be automatically unlocked and the unlock pin will be sent to ur phone.
Thatz what happened to me.. hope it will help :D
