I just purchased a Galaxy phone from Europe and I actually made an outgoing call for 8 minutes using my own country's SIM card. 

My question is, what would happen if I select the RESET option? 

Will I have to make another 5-to-8-minute call again in order for the Region Lock to be lifted?

I see no reason why resetting that screen would re-enable the region lock. However,  If the region lock does get re-enabled, then it can be removed again by making another 5 -8 minute call to a local number, using a SIM card from your region.

Should be good to go, even after a reset

Forgot to add a couple of details.

1. the phone is a Galaxy Xcover6 Pro which I am in love with 😍

2. The phone is Carrier Unlocked.

The sales clerk said that I need to make at least an 8 minute call using my own country SIM card. Then the phone should work in the USA as well.

So I was wondering if I hit the RESET option as shown from my image, do I need to make the 8 minute call again to Region Unlock the phone?

After seeing my photo of my outgoing 8 minute call, the Region Lock should be removed?
