Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime bought in another country, region locked?



A family member from Argentina bought a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, model SM-G531F, in her trip to Spain, after making the purchase, we spoke, and she read to me a phrase that appear in the box that caught her attention (she doesn't speak english): "european sim-card only", I did some research and the Samsung region lock apparently is not as strict as it seems, making or receiving a call of 5 minutes or more, it seems that enables the smartphone to use it in other regions.

My concerns are these:

-It is true that a 5 minute call unlocks the smartphone to be used in other regions?

-The call have to or may be from or to a Spanish number? (she did not bring his Argentine SIM card with her, she bought a Spanish SIM card to use during her stay in Spain)

-There are other ways to enable or unlock the smartphone for use it in Argentina?

Any info or suggestion would be very helpful since I do not have much time to solve this problem.

Thnx.
