If you bought it unlocked
Make sure you make a regular for at least 15 minutes by any Saudi or middle east sim
Because some units even if you bought it unlocked it might be regional locked and to unlock it is to make a 15 min regular call
I did it with my a54 and now both my globe and smart sims are working
