Trying to order on GB but the only option of shipping I get is Netherlands or Belgium... That can't be correct?

Click on the drop-down arrow on the same line. The option for DHL is there

Note this is the Mi 9T. Not the Mi 9T Pro. The model advertised has the SD730

 

[jadenroux]

Yeah I see now it was overwritten with shipment picked up

How's it going with yours? Mine currently at "information recieved"

I don't follow. Mi9T Pro does not exist

MKBHD review of the Redmi K20 Pro

If you're suffering with the ads on Mi apps, go to Settings for that app and disable App Recommendations. Most, if not all, ads will stop.

Sorry I got confused. I thought there was a Mi 9T Pro because of the K20 Pro which has the SD855

Has anyone noticed the mi fit app sending clipboard contents and keystrokes to xiaomi ?

Got mine on Friday.
Very impressed with Gearbest + DHL + the phone.

Where would be the best place to find a Xiaomi for under R3000 locally, preferably a store that accepts eBucks?

My mom's phone just died and she urgently needs a replacement

Takealot?

Takealot?

Redmi Go should suffice as a "mom phone"

Edit: Not sure on ebucks but still good prices

My experience, Takealot is cheaper and faster on the delivery. When I ordered my Mi Max, I waited for a month from Mia Africa.

Thanks all

I spoke to my mother again, and she said she will try and take it to the local cell repair shop to see if it can be fixed.

It sounds like the phone reboots every time she receives an SMS (oddly) so it could maybe be a SIM issue? The handset is a Vodafone Smart Platinum 7.

They are a couple hours' drive away so I can't just pop on over and assist.

It is a pity that the local stores don't really carry a wide variety of phones, but I will have to make do with what they have available.

Had an issue with my Redmi 4A where system apps won't update at all.

Turns out the company firewall was being naughty and was blocking something. Switched it over to the LAB WIFI and all is good.

 

[ShloshMalosh]

Anyone getting the CC9 ?

I've ordered a phone, case and screen protector on separate occasions and got delivery the next day.

Weird... might have been a stock issue?

Never waited more than a day or two from Mia.

Yes agreed I usually get it delivered before I even ordered it
