The mtk version is even much more expensive than the sd except you are looking at the 3/64GB variant and not the 4/64GB. I would go for the sd version especially if you want to use it for 3years as there will be lot of custom roms available. FYI the sd version supports all our bands except Glo which is also not supported by the mtk variant.
Your are 100%right on your explanation. Rechecked aliexpress and found out the variant is becoming more confusing if not carefully reading between the lines. The mtk 4/64GB is more expensive @usd 216.99 - 249.99 while SD 4/64GB is @usd 205.99 - 229.99 but on pre-sell. Pls what do they mean by the pre sell? I think I need to end my search here.

You don't need any update neither is there any.
Xiaomi music player has no search option. You can use Play music if you much need it

It seems that "appeal" has become necessary now. How do I go about it?

All my attempts to purchase $10, $20 and $50 this evening were unsuccessful though I have cancelled all of them.

I need information on the procedure in case it reoccurs tomorrow.

All my attempts to purchase $10, $20 and $50 this evening were unsuccessful though I have cancelled all of them.

I need information on the procedure in case it reoccurs tomorrow.

Read thru the faq extract below first. Then ask questions on whatever is not clear.

Funding AliExpress Pocket
Download the app, create an account.
On the My Account tab on the app you'll see My AliExpress Pocket, click on it and fund your AliExpress Pocket with about $100 (if $100 doesn't work at once then select it in multiples eg $20 * 5 or $50 * 2)
Search for the device you want to buy select buy now, you'll see an option to use your AliExpress Pocket, tick it.
Then use your other ATM to complete the transaction.

About Appeals:
You don't have to appeal before you fund your AliExpress Pocket.

Sometimes people are told to appeal for security reasons, to verify you're the owner/handler of the card, mostly when you use a card that isn't in your name to fund the pocket.
In that case you'll be told to upload a picture of the ATM card(you can block out some numbers for security purposes), identification (eg passport, voters card, birth certificate [don't know if they still collect these], or international passport), and a recent bank statement of the account you were told to appeal.

After 3-5 business days the details will be verified and you can use that card (that doesn't bear your name) to fund your pocket in the future without hassles.

Item is pre-advised
If you ship via NL Post when tracking the first stage is "item is pre-advised" and it can stay that way for up to 2 weeks, you contact NL Post and they say they haven't got your item.
Do not panic, you most likely haven't been scammed or given a fake tracking number.
What pre-advised means is that the seller has contacted Netherlands Post and have advised them that a parcel is coming their way, that they should expect to receive it. The parcel will then be processed by their sorting centre, pass the checks and then finally be dispatched to the destination country.
Your package will go from China to the Netherlands first before it is ultimately shipped to Nigeria.
Even though the pre-advised stage can be long and frustrating, it doesn't usually last for more than 15 days and when it does get to the Netherlands the shipping is quicker and your item should reach you by the next week!


About Collection:
The package will be delivered to the nearest post office and you'll be notified by the post office (either by call or text, or they'll bring a slip to your house) that you have an item waiting for collection at the post office.
You might be charged a ₦500 "handling fee" upon collection of the item.
Happy buying!

Anyways, I've tried deactivating broadcast messages on my N4 but MTN keeps sending them. Please, how do I go about it?


DND will do. But be careful with this feature as it sometimes block otp and other bulk sms from Job recruiting firms

Hi, it means they currently don't have it in stock because production is still going on but read the first batch will be released on the 20th. Pretty sure the price will go up after that.

That's why Tecno and Infinix exist in Nigeria. Go for one of their products.

Appeal? You only appeal a declined transaction.

If you are still not convinced, remain were you are

Have you tried checking via nipost tracking? 3-4 days before as said earlier and max I've experienced is 6days via Singapore post. Check Biopsy site. cc hopy68
