Hope it doesn't need to go that far. I've done 2 trade-ins with them so far and haven't had any issues.

Yeah it is a bit contradictory isn't it? In the trade-in processing site it also says you only need to return it before Feb 2025. I've…

Yes the timeline in the instruction is quite generous. I think the longest time I sent back was a bit more than a week? Definitely more…

Yeah I was contemplating if I should get the new S25 series on pre-order. There is rumour that S25 series will use Snapdragon 8 Elite cross…

It's my wife's phone. It's mostly fine but the most annoying thing, and the reason to change is it will randomly drop (fairly frequently)…

Managed to get a S24+ 256GB for $227.95. Trade in (Pixel 8 Pro 256GB) + 10% members + 10% first order + $50 (LYZ). Pretty good I'd say.

Chinese phones now start to have band 28. Because China Mobile and China Broadnet have started to deploy band 28. The only brand I would…

Same as YouTube etc you now need a locally issued card to be able to do this.

I am using this now. Seems to be working for YouTube and Amazon so far. Didn't try Netflix as I am using Nigeria for that. Ininal have…

Yeah I'm confused as well. Another example is direct flights to Guangzhou via China Southern is more expensive than transfer via Guangzhou…

Yes they do.

Open for go halves on 180GB. Existing customer no SIM.

In my email it says "To maintain your membership, please update your form of payment to one issued in Turkey before 21 November 2024". So I…

Just re-signed with 2d last week 🤦 $70 per month with static ip. Maybe next year.

It's the chipset that they use doesn't support passthru of these codecs, not a software limitation (at least for CCwGTV). The new Google TV…

No Chromecast/Google TV devices can passthru lossless audio codec (Dolby TruHD, DTS-HD MA, etc), not even the new one they recently…

They have existed since 2012 and is regulated by the central bank of Turkey. So I don't see your point here? Personally I'd trust them more…

There are a few Turkish virtual debit card providers. One of them (Ininal) allow foreigners to apply with just the passport and an…

In fact I have 2. But we don't let them look at devices on the road.

Yeah don't really need this much. Large is enough for me. Looked at my history and I bought those in Mid Nov each year. Black Friday is…

I wonder if they will do the usual Black Friday deals for other plans?

Oh I forgot about one thing, which is Google Play support. Here is a list of brands that I have experiences with: * Xiaomi (Redmi, POCO,…

Just to note, a lot of phones have Chinese local versions. If you buy in China you will get local versions instead of international…

It was a sale at Harvey Norman during the last week of Aug. Price has gone back now.

As @Everettpsycho mentioned, it's actually easier to install international apps on Fire TV. You can change the app store country easily and…

I just bought a Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $69 a few weeks ago to replace my CCwGTV. It is more powerful, specifically it can passthru…

They are really cheap off-peak but almost 4x the price during peak. Wanted to go to China during Christmas holidays and they are $2000-ish…

With the new rate it is basically on par with Dosh at 1%. But obviously with an annual fee. Depends on how much you spend it might still be…

It's $1 back per $70 (1.42%).
