Advice: get local Thai SIM card for Line

[corsiar74]

No. Never use any new phone or take out my SIM card. Also my line is not a new account, been using it for close to 2 years. Not sure what's the issue here.

I suspect the Line algorithmn recognises devices imei instead of sim numbers..... that's why probably encounter problems unless it is the original phone that you used to registered your line account with.

I had been using LINE for a number of years on my Singapore phone. All OK until a few months ago where I cannot add any new contact, through their tel no or ID. And Thai people cannot add me.

Apart from this, all works in that I still can send messages to all my previous LINE contacts.

When I query LINE, they came me a standard answer which are found in their Q&A. They did not say anything about my Singapore LINE no having restrictions or gave me a proper answer.

anyone able to get the Line search nearby function to work?

[Neverlookback]

I have LINE on both my SG & EU phones. Respectively since 2016 and 2020.

Use it all the time for comms with my TH team, both when in TH and when in anyother country.

And when in TH on my SG fone for finding fun.

NOissues with the nearby function and not even any issues joining group under for example SLGals.

I use my fone nbrs to register & log in not google or fb.


Hope this helps.

Maybe you need to uninstall n reinstall?

LINE has like any app done upgrades. Possibly they did not load?

I regularly uninstall....for security reasons....then i reinstall using my fone nbr....not a single prob.

Hope helps

Existing contacts can still be communicated but if trying to add new pple or someone share contact that is registered in thailand, other regions cant add unless ur line registered with thai number. Only way to add is via QR code

When you reinstall LINE software. Do you need to save your contacts? I Will try reinstalling but don't want to lose all my contacts.
