If a screen saying "Unable to use device" suddenly appeared, please check the information for each of the three scenarios below, in order.
You haven't registered your currently contracted phone number to LINE
If the phone number you registered to LINE isn't the same as the one you are currently contracted with, you may suddenly become unable to use LINE.
Once a certain amount of time passes after canceling your phone number, it can be contracted to and used by someone else.
If the new contract holder of the phone number registers it to LINE, the LINE account it had been registered to becomes unavailable.
