My issues with Itel 1516 Plus, Warranty not Honoured!!! by onlinetrade: 2:14pm On Mar 14, 2018
My Itel 1516 Plus which I bought in August 2017 suddenly stopped working (in March 2018, Less Than 1 Year)!!!


I took it to their office in opebbi Ikeja (on 9th March, 2018) and was told it would be repaired FREE OF CHARGE (SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY) (THE CARLCARE ATTENDANT OBSERVED THE PHONE PROPERLY, SAW THAT THERE WAS NO CRACKS ON IT OR SIGNS THAT IT FELL BEFORE SHE RECEIVED IT AND ACCEPTED IT FOR FREE REPAIR)

WENT BACK TODAY (14th March, 2018) and was told to pay #8,200 if i wanted it to work!!! (A phone I bought last year for #20,500)

THE MOST ABSURD OF ALL WAS WHEN I ASKED WHY I NEEDED TO PAY #8,200. The attendant responded that there was a little dent on the touch screen and that if the item was repaired, the touch screen WILL SPOIL grin grin grin. And that the cost was FOR CRACKS on the touch screen!! VERY FUNNY REALLY... (See attached pics, are these dents/wear&tear markings CRACKS?)

Just to think of it that Itel, Techno and Infinix recently sent some Naija Tech Bloggers to China to SEE THEIR GREAT FACTORIES AND OTHER FACILITIES ( cool. RATHER THAN DO THIS, THEY SHOULD FOCUS ON BUILDING GREAT PRODUCTS LIKE XIAOMI, HUAWEI, MEIZU which are internationally acceptable brands!!!

I will be attaching proofs of my escapades with Carlcare. And I know many other Nigerians are in my shoes. This should not be the case!!!

I will be attaching proofs of my escapades with this CHINESE COMPANY swindling Nigerians. And I know many other Nigerians are in my shoes. Until we can actually ascertain the quality (and serviceability) of Itel, Techno & Infnix phones, I'll advice you STAY AWAY...

I must say your attendants are quite poor at customer service: really really poor. This time around they've done it to the wrong person.

I WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD THIS MESSAGE UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT!!!

Carlcare Facebook Response to my phone issues:

"Good afternoon Adeyemi, it's great to connect with you. My apology for the delay in response.
After some enquiries, it was discovered that your device had a crack.
This is the reason it was not fixed
We collect devices in the best conditions only & where it's not so, we charge for repair"

VERY VERY ABSURD REALLY. A PHONE THAT DID NOT FALL DOWN! WITHOUT ANY DOUBT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BECAUSE OTHER USERS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES!!!

Bros its not just about the money. Warranty should be warranty! Not too think of similar experiences of people I have heard!

Re: My issues with Itel 1516 Plus, Warranty not Honoured!!! by Behankey(m): 6:13pm On Mar 15, 2018
Sorry o. But there's warranty though. A colleague bought the Camon cX and the screen fot spoilt in the first month. Tecno swapped the screen for him for free. Coz it has a free screen replacement warranty.

Even Apple warranty doesn't mean free fixes for every issue. Warranty would have been called insurance if that was the case.

My guess is the board or something is gone (IN LESS THAN A YEAR)! Most repairers won't attend to this!

This is not about 'EVERY ISSUE'. A phone should not just go blank dead in less than a year (many other users of infnix/itel/tecno have reported this same issue). IT IS A DEFECT FROM SOURCE

It didn't fall, wasn't charging when this happened. I just put in my pocket, picked it out and it was blank dead!!!

But isn't it common knowledge for phone users that when you break/crack your phone screen, warranty won't cover you should your phone not turn on sometime in the future?

I didn't say the problem is a crack. Is the phone cracked or not?

bROS I see you are promoting the Tecno/Itel brand (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB1KCA2K9ZJRy0Cds8plXKQ/videos) so I don't expect you to say less (they pay you). You are NOT NEUTRAL in a situation like these. Let real users comment!!!

You're welcome sir grin. But sincerely speaking I can see you review Xiaomi phones and probably brands like Huawei, Meizu etc... Advice your people (Tecno/Itel/Infinix) to step up in quality of parts used in their phones!!!

I will be raising a new thread for ANYONE WHO HAS HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE TO SHARE, THAT WAY IT WILL BE KNOWN BY OTHERS BEFORE THEY BUY!!!

Easy on capslock, no be fight.

That pic wasn't there before + I can only see 1/5 of the entire screen/body.

What does being a blogger have to do with anything? undecided

Bros even if the screen is cracked at least make the phone work first! How can you prove a crack on a phone THAT DOESN'T POWER ON!!!

If you cannot, you have to know that the people who manufacture phones absolutely can. It probably takes less than a minute too.
