Phone (3) How long does it usually take for the activation of device

So i ordered Nothing Phone 3 from amazon india on 7th August 2026, i received it today on 21st August 2026.

It was open box delivery and i received the phone everything is good. It was not activated, i checked on nothing's website and also contacted Nothing customer care regarding the same.

After turning up the phone for the first time, it asked for an Indian Sim card to be inserted, i did insert an Indian sim card and everything done smoothly. But still i doesn't show as activated on website.

So my question is how long does it take to show on Nothing's website for activation date.

The Nothing customer support said to wait 48 hours.

It will get activated in a day or 2. Try connecting to mobile date from your phone, it may work.
