What Can I Do With A TD-SCDMA Android Phone?? by emmy02(m): 12:31am On Sep 12, 2014 |
Recently I ordered for a phone from aliexpress, after patiently waiting for weeks my new phone arrived, i quickly powered on the phone just to check if everything was ok, to cut the story short The phone's 3g service is TD-SCDMA while the seller said it was WCDMA, TD-SCDMA dosnt work here in Nigeria, is there anything that i can do? Fellow NLders If u buying a China Android Phone don't make the mistake of buying a TD-SCDMA phone cos it won't work with the network here in 9ja xpect may b deres a way around it.. |

TD SCDMA is also a 3G network but can ONLY be use in china. When 3G was launched sometime 2007, china launched theirs to avoid paying patent fee. Aliexpress is full of scam, the buyer knew what u paid for, yet he/she sent something else. OP, manage the 2G. |

emmy02: Recently I ordered for a phone from aliexpress, after patiently waiting for weeks my new phone arrived, i quickly powered on the phone just to check if everything was ok, to cut the story short I'm guessing the phone you got is the Lenovo S8 gold edition I too was tempted by its beauty but on close examination noticed it was TD-SCDMA. Sadly, nothing can be done to get it to work on our 3g networks here in naija, absolutely nothing. Just be careful to read full descriptions before buying stuff online next time. Sorry bro. |

emmy02:I doubt. I think 2G/4G/3G is in the hardware of the phone. If it were to be a software, wudda been easy to tweak it. Y not ask for a refund? Send the phone back. But the cost to snd it back is very cost. |

emmy02: Sorry, na 2G you go dey use b dat o. At least you can always use the WiFi, play games, watch movies and do other stuffs, You can also browse with the 2G. Get an etisalat SIM if d network is gud in your area, you'll be able to browse but downloading might be hell though. Another option though is to get a MiFi (Universal). This will provide you WiFi anywhere you go. It's almost the size of a modem. You can easily get it on AE. BTW, What phone is that? |
