Email received as well to go with my screengrab of the IC order page at the end of the process. I have been wanting to try a Xiaomi as a daily driver for months and was waiting for a deal like this!

We talked about this phone yesterday VS our S5's... and now we're both getting this deal!

I can't seem to add my CC to WeChat Wallet - it just says "Securing Details FAILED!". I tried a dozen times and the details entered is def correct. Mailed support now to hear what they have to say. Hope the deal is still available

Contact your bank credit card division ask them if your credit card is 3D enabled for online purchases if not they will have to enable it. If you bank with fnb you can do it online or at any fnb ATM machine with your credit csrf

Managed to get mine by first adding funds to my wallet and then scanning QR and pay from wallet. It didn't want to charge my CC directly. Strange..

Anyways, now... has anyone been able to find tempered glass and a cover for these phones locally?

Considering a hardshell cover to strengthen this phone when in my pocket and for drops. I just watched JerryRigEverything's bend test and it did not go well *cringe*

Will do. I am so used to having ADH cover on my S5 - will need to be careful with the Xiaomi. At least it only cost 1/3 of the S5

I see my order just got lit up on incredible.co.za - payment received. I hope it gets to me in time to play this weekend!

GSMarena has the Redmi Note 3 listed as 1x microsim and 1x nanosim - is this correct? I guess I will keep my Afrihost sim in micro format so I can move it to a mifi when needed and rather sim swap my TM micro sim to a nano and buy a Cell C starterpack in case I need to go back to my S5 with the TM sim...

Depends on which brand will fullfil your order. Example if you in cape Town it will come from a branch near you. If you impatient no harm calling them and quoting your incredible connection website order number to collect from a branch

I assume, contrary to the WeChat promo flyer, we will be getting Gold and not silver
