Re: Tecno F7 (Phantom A1) Discussion Thread by lanre316: 5:31am On Jun 07, 2013
I got the phone yesterday from Elijahdre. It was sent to me in Ibadan via bus.

The phone is superb. I was thinking of buying galaxy grand before and thank God, I didn't. This is one of the best android phone in the range of 33k. The graphics is stunning and all my apps were running smoothly.

I will recommend this phone to anyone with around 30k budget for a phone and I will recommend Elijahdre as a reliable supplier especially for those outside lagos. He even helped me get a 32gb sd card that I am using with the phone and we have never met before nairaland.

Lol @ some wolves. True that, anyway. Thanks for the feedback, Sfi_ea.

Alright, still purchase your Tecno F7. Flat rate of N33,000. If you're in Lagos, pick up from our office.

If you're in other states, pay before delivery, we deliver to you @ the rate of N2,000 courier service.

Edo, Delta, Awka, Onitsha: N1,000 flat rate.

Keep the calls coming in.

Good morning, house.

Go to your date and time settings. Set your date and time correctly. Go to internet and try opening a page, select automatic when it tells you ''cannot find service provider''. Good to go.
