Samsung child account issues

[rosszx10r]

I've just bought my daughter a new Samsung a25 from the UK Samsung shop and when I try to sign her in I get an error. The account or device is not from the same country or region but they are!!

Anyone what having this issue??

Hey there

You'll need to reach out to Samsung Shop to discuss but if your device is wrong region and you are within your 14 days cooling of, send it back to avoid ongoing issues.

It's not a single device issue I've tried her tablet same problem

So if it is the same problem then same answer.....

Can I also please point out that you didn't mention about the tablet in your post. We do not have a crystal ball lol

So not same issue as I can sign into my account no issues. The tablet is a Samsung galaxy tab S6 lite running one ui 5.1 which is supported

Can you please repost your question as you keep moving the goalposts.

If I understand this correctly:

1. You bought your daughter a mobile device, tried to log in using her Samsung account and it wouldn't recognise the device or the account due to the region????

2. You then said you had the same issue with a tablet.

2.1 Now you are saying that he tablet is fine when you log in, presumably using your own Samsung account then the tablet is working fine?

Have to tried logging into the mobile device using your Samsung account? If that works fine then the issue is with your daughter's Samsung Account.

Whichever of the above is correct you will still need to speak to Samsung to either resolve the Samsung account OR resolve the device.

It's an issue with my daughter's account, I've called support but there is no option for account support only devices

The same problem has been flagged here too - https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/mobile-apps-services/help-with-childs-samsung-account-different-...
For what it's worth, I have encountered the same issue after creating a (UK) child account for my son.  The issue occurs on both an S20 phone and an S7 tablet.  But I can log into both of them fine using my own (UK) account.

Appears not to be supported in UK yet
