It can be done. Money leaves trails and can be traced. The questions are "would it be done? Who'd do it? "

Exactly, took it up with that silly diamond bank. We kept going back and forth with no result, I moved on and found closure.

femiranking28:
And it received regular updates?

It has stopped receiving OS updates but am sure there are lots of custom ROMs for it. You can get a fairly used pixel 1 for that price. Bobo65.

You want to lock your SIN? U no wan go heaven?

Same poo happens to me last year march when my redmi note 4 was stolen from me on my way home in the evening. I call customer care to block my line immediately I got home, but it took them like 30 minutes to pickup. Long story short, I went to the bank next morning and it was not funny. 100k gone. I request for how the amount was drawn, they said through USSD, but I've never use bank USSD on my phone before. They said yes the thief activated it for me, since my register SIM is with him. All this operation happens within 10 minutes. The phone is still useless with him till date. SIM lock is the way forward, Airtel customer service advice.

As in, if i hadn't check my mails they would still have removed 100k the next day until they finish everything in the account. Idiots.

macbeyland:
if only these banks would allow complete deactivation of the USSD service.
I actually achieved it on my first bank account. The sim linked to the account has no USSD service after I went to them to apply for deactivation. Now if you type in any USSD related activity, the network will tell you that the sim card is not linked to any first bank account, meanwhile its the same sim I use in getting OTP from first bank even up till today..


UPDATE.

I just tried the *894* code on my sim and saw this. Not sure if they have activated it again.

These guys are not smiling, useless idiots that won't work and want to get fat on people's sweat. They will meet their downfall one day.

I'm taking a lesson from here

Baami, it wasn't funny then. I almost had an heart attack o.

OCTAVO:
I think it's now advisable to be using sim lock.

Yeah I have sim lock activated on my SIM. Never again.

2kurupt:
Too bad, I hope you get a better replacement soon



These days we're more preoccupied with just locking our phones rather than the SIMs as well which is now the new target.

This is why I now advice people to enable SIM lock on their main lines. Any switching off & on of the device or swapping of SIM must require a PIN code.

Remember when PIN code and PUK was popular?

Yeah that was why I advised blocking his accounts right way, when my Poco was stolen last November I took it for granted that the thieves wanted the phone alone and I got to the bank by 8am asking them to block my account. Long story short, since I didn't have any access to the internet, I got to the office only to see mail debit alerts. The thieves somehow found a way to use my registered SIM to initiate a fresh USSD on my line and withdrew #100k which was the daily limit. If there was no limit, am sure I would still be in the hospital right now if they had withdrawn all the money in my account. It was an eye opener,big one and before anyone ask ,no I don't have my account number or ATM card details on my phone (they can't even access that since my phone is locked with pattern). They used just the SIM.

femimike1:
Good morning everyone , my redmi note4 has just been stolen this night . Please any help on how to track it ?

Sorry for your loss, please call your banks so they can block your accounts with them because the thief might not even need your phone but your registered SIM. That's the most important and first thing to do right away, as to retrieve the phone I really dunno maybe others can help.

Well if the person can get it during the flash sale as it isn't readily available in stock.

This is really getting out of hand. Young man let me ask u a silly question, do u have anger issues?

Why is it a diversion from your mindset is always accompanied by insults. Are u passing an information or Imposing Ur stance on people?

Take this advice bro and U'll be better for it. The fact that u hide behind a keypad doesn't make u invisible.

My 2kobo. Cheers

Xiaomi make phone and they target poor countries like India,Nepal,Vietnam etc while Samsung make phones for Americans, Europe and other advanced countries . mtchew comparing Samsung to Xiaomi is a sin at least Samsung uses their own processor, pixels they only buy android OS unlike Xiaomi that buys pixels, processor and android version .

can you compare samsung 1440 x 3040 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~550 ppi density) dynamic amoled+ quad HD+
Corning Gorilla Glass 6

You like shifting the goal post sha

some people want Xiaomi to price phones with sd632/636 for $50/$80 respectively,even if they do, dem no go still buy oooo.

pharmtasy:
I would like to buy this mid range device from Samsung

them no go kee person for this thread.

meemich234:
680 Euros... For a so called mid-ranger

Crazy!!! I can't even use any Samsung phone that isn't the S or Note series, others na wash.

genius43:
Battery, camera and big screen lovers won't mind the SD 730 TBH.

Am sorry I would rather go with the s9+ or heck the note 9 than this thing.

genius43:
Very close the S10E started at $749.

Are Samsung not reducing the sales of the S10E with this desperate move?

Just read up the specs, SD730? Hahahaha.

meemich234:
He wants to use it for testing

We go dey alright las las.

genius43:
Are Exynos processors better than Qualcomm Snapdragon?

At the bolded Samsung are only aiming to take a share in the midrange market but they still have a lot of work to do. Their choice of processors in their midrangers are mostly poor using the M30 as a case study compared with the Redmi Note 7.

Their pricing also is still on the high side.

Imagine the new A80 announced today carrying a price tag of $730.

$730? Isn't that the same price with S10E?

sexiestharam:
Nokia X5. Why not add little money and buy Redmi Note 7?

Because I want to assume the person's budget is 50k.which is way higher than the price of the note 7.
