How to Change CSC Code of Samsung Phones

The CSC which stands for Country Specific Code is used to apply geo-specific settings, access points, etc.
This is why it’s advisable that you buy the Samsung device for your country. So when purchasing a handset, make sure you buy the same version that is available for your country.

However, there might be a problem. let’s just say out of mistake, Samsung shipped the wrong version to you or you bought the Indian version when you’re in the UK. Or better still, you are in India and later travel to the UK. In this kind of situation, you’ll need to change the CSC code of your device so that you can enjoy the amazing features that are available for UK users.

Without changing the CSC, you’ll not be able to use Samsung Pay and even the native call recording. No wonder, many people are still experiencing issues using call recording on their device. Nevertheless, in this post, we will be showing you different methods that you can use to change the CSC code of your Samsung device.
