Seems I haven't got the luck, tried the tricks found in the forum with the AT&T customer services and finally the result is no good, they rejected me for various of excuses, Account not activated for 90 days, Model of the Phone is not supported to be unlocked, the unlock team is not available at the moment, phone imei number is not bind to the account, no international service package is added to the account ....
Decided to turn to IMEI CHECK today, dumped out the file and provided the IMEI number, paypaled $40.44 USD ~( ... ) and emailed in the fax copy of my driver license(requested, no idea why need to do that) got the unlock code with in 5 minutes.
Jeez. Sorry dude.
Man I would've charged you 2 dollars and 13 cents to give you the unlock code!

That's insane!!! I paid won an ebay auction for $13.99 USD from www.cellunlock.net to have mine unlocked and received the code within 12 hours. They only needed the IMEI number of my phone...not sure why you had to pay so much and had to give them your drivers license.
dude... how is that may i ask?..

Probably just to cover themselves. There are a lot of stolen phones about. One shop over here wants photographic ID and proof of address, lol!!!
Wouldnt worry too much, have used IMEI Check in the past, good service and no problems here, although their not the cheapest on the market.....

Especially since the OP paid via Paypal. Now, they have an email address tied to a known valid paypal account and the OP's credentials (Name, address, etc.). Hopefully they won't be able to much with it. I'd still be wary though. To OP, definitely watch your paypal account for suspicious activities and other financial activities for a while. Don't want to mess with identity theft. It's a nightmare to get resolved.
EDIT: Well, silent_killa's dealings should help ease your feelings a little. Though, it wouldn't hurt just to be safe.
@KMFM$: Really well said. Dealing with paypal on most levels is frustrating and when it is about identity theft I've heard they can be really, really unfair.
He has great advice OP

hi guys
i am planning to buy a new phone soon, probably a China one. i have already checked many china shops but most of them do not look like a safe place for spending a couple hundred euros, and paying with paypal is in many of them impossible.
so would you be so kind and share your expirence with chinapadmall, because i was unable to find any useful information on the internet. at a glance they look different from most of china shops and paying with paypal is also possible.
just another question: probably i am going to buy either a iocean/OU Sheng X7 or a UMI X2. which one do you think is better in term of build quality?
thank you for help
I personally would keep away from Chinese phones, generally because they tend to not have any support afterwards. I looked through this site and however designed/presented nicely, the reviews are mostly of customers asking questions about the product. They seem to respond back though so that may be a good sign (even though they're using the reviews section as a forum, which is deceiving). Sorry for not exactly answering your question, but that's just my 2cents.
Do you mean "China" or "china"?
Either way, I wouldn't want to touch any China-made products left alone spending "a couple hundred euros" for it.
first of all thanks for your reply.
i meant China of course.
you are probably right about support ,sadly not so many own those phones. actually i am buying that kind of phone, because in last half year i lost two phones (they were both stolen by somebody). now i do not want to spend much money on a new phone.
including taxes and DHL shippinig i can get a full hd phone for approximately 220€ (about 290$), and that is why i am interested in buying China phone.
i will have to think a bit and search the internet, whether it is worth buying cheap phone and hooping for best, or spend at least twice as much money for Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z, or other flagship devices.
I've bought my goophone n2 here in chinapadmalL and pay with paypal.It's safe.
And I'm also interested in iocean X7 and a UMI X2,but the pre-order does not begin,do you know the exact date? cause I don 't want to wait a long time .
I use dx.com for my China gadget shopping. They are trustworthy and have a decent support staff as well as forums. They accept paypal. The only downside is sometimes the shipping can be slow but anything shipping from Hong Kong is generally slow. They have name brand Android phones as well.
i am also interested in buying umi x2, iocean x7, or t he jiayu g4 advenced, but the problem is also the availability, and the release dates are not actually unknown.
and about the dx.com i must agree they are trustworthy, buty normally it takes long to receive your staff, but the problem is they do not have so many phones like other sites.
I would not buy AT CHINAPADMALL
Well I tell you my experience with this damn devil store "chinapadmall.com" because bine on April 9, 2013, announced in stock the following: "Good Quality Butterfly x920e OEM Smart Phone 5.0 Inch IPS 1920 * Quad 1080 2GB RAM Android 4.1-core 1.5GHz 16GB ". I buy paypal payment 250'87 total EUR total no joke. I get the phone about ten or twelve days later does not do what is advertised is 1920 * 1080 1270 * 920 is less, plus wifi does not work and tells me what I have to do is install the rom again, as I to have to do that to a newly purchased mobile trying it yourself. Well I tell you what I say I want to return smoothly to send it to an address and how do I have to send also want a 32 gb sd Tarje tells me to pay it and send it to me. I tell you all that I leave as requested on the page and tell me you do not need it with the email is enough. I send the phone on May 10, 2013, will arrive on May 24 and did not pick right now is in the post office waiting sheizen by will. I tell the seller and he says he does not know that you sent me x2 umi on Friday May 31 but do not know the tracking number and does not know because he has not Picked to send you the package. We also speak for the char of the page and I closed this sounds fishy.
SUMMARY, DONÍ BUY INTO THAT AS A PROBLEM WITH ANY Tourist trap breaded MOBILE I ALREADY TOOK TWO MONTHS MOBILE AND LEAST 280 EUROS.
P. D. if anyone knows something I can help I'd appreciate it because paypal said to have passed the 45 days to open a dispute. Of course I have happened if I had been the purchaser bullfighting, and the effectiveness of posts that you see, well here you have this tako, well I'm sorry but I inform relief and these thieves, swindlers.

I bought an Umi x2 from them 5 days ago. My order is still 'in progress' and not been posted despite me paying $20 for express delivery. I'mnot happy with their service.
UMI X2 32G rom 2G ram the umi company will stop produce for 3-4 weeks.so if you bought this phone don't dream they will ship.

I think i can tell you something, I think there must something made you misunderstanding, i made two orders in chinapadmall.com, they response very fast and reply my every email and live chat, maybe the email sent to your junk box? it seem the live chat time from China time 9:00~18:00, you can try to see and try again. and even over 45 days, they accept return and refund, don't worry. one of my friend experienced it. it is better you tell him your order number first, so they can confirm soon. when refund the money, you must will get a coupon as a compensation( my friend got the coupon, hope the same as you).
and by the way, if they didn't answer you, how did you sent back the phone? where you got the return address?
hope your problem will be fix soon....

address gave me Jerry or so chatting calls himself. So far I have sent the phone or returned the money. On Friday Jerry said the chat today I would give the tracking number, but I ask you and I closed the conversation. No I think I have been scammed, and the address to which returned the phone was not the same that came in the package where they sent me the phone. ie they send from an address and returns go to another company and another direction, even in another city. All this is very rare and worst is that after almost 3 months I am still without my money and no mobile. SO I would not buy ANYTHING IN CHINAPADMALL. COM

I think I know where is the problem, the problem is not CHINAPADMALL.COM didn't answer your questions, it seem you returned the phone to the wrong address ( wrote in the package?).
if you purchased the phone via paypal in the store, it is better you follow the refund and return rules of paypal. you should dispute in paypal and ask for return and refund, paypal will show you the address that you should send to. remember never do not send to the address wrote in package. if over 45days, it is better you contact their after service for address before you sending. as I know, many package sent from China the address wrote on package are address of POST AGENT COMPANY, not the real seller, because the agent handle all for seller, seller only need prepare the package for picking up.
i suggest you keep contact CHINAPADMALL.COM , tell him the tracking info, ask him for help for find the package. if sent to the POST AGENT, they also can have it back, but will take many times, it is possible to get your money back, CHINAPADMALL.COM wont let you lost money, as I know my friend got money back and got a coupon for compensation and he made a new order with the coupon( 8USD discount for any item).
hope can help you, and be patient you will get money back soon....

:good: that's great, I told you before, they will refund your money anytime, even over 45 days after payment. chinapadmall.com are looking for long term business, not one time. reliable!!
I have no problem with china mobile. Nice power for third price of regular brands with good workshop quality. Only problem is support...
.My phone I received from om them was faulty and they have asked me to return it to them. I have done by DHL but it seems to be being held in customs in Shenzhen. Is it legal to return a phone from UK to Shenzhen? Why would customs hold it?
Perhaps it just takes some time for clearance?
Just wanted to let you guys know about my horrible experience with this company. Before the free unlock methods were available I had purchased an unlock code from them for $14.99 for my Rogers i337m. They had guaranteed it to work. Needless to say the code did not work. So they emailed back saying I would need an unfreeze code along with with the unlock code for $29.99. So I did that. The codes still did not work and I even proved it to them with a video which they requested in order for a refund. They did not update me with any information for two weeks. After countless emails, they decided that doing the free unlock method would work. By then i had already sold my I 337m and got an unlocked 9505. They refuse to give me a refund even though the code didn't work. They have horrible customer service and barely ever respond to emails. I've seen at least one other post on another forum saying the same thing.
Just letting you guys know that be wary of their services. Plus there are free ways to do the same thing now. They lost a few lifetime customers between me and my friends. I hope that was worth the $29.99 for them.
Thanks for letting us know we should all boycott jerk companies like this.
Not sure why this happenned to you, but i've unlocked every phone with them without any issue. Although there is something fishy here. Your unlock code, you claim to have cost you 14.99, mine was 24.99 for i337m. It worked the first time. Second, pay by paypal, next time a company charges you more than initially, just open a claim and you'll get you money back.
I haven't had a bad experience with them either. I've unlocked like 4-5 phones with them so far including my two GS4s. That too for $8 each only

Something definitely isn't right here. If for some reason your phone didn't work with the code you entered, the other unfreeze code should have. It sounds like something is / was wrong with your phone. A few people that tried the "free" unlock method have screwed up their phones with the method and have been unable to use codes for sim unlock. However, you claim this was all done before the free unlock method?
Plus on the 29th of May you had this post in the "free unlock" thread...

not sure what to say to you. i've unlocked about 65-70 iPhones, ~15 gs3 lte (for some reason the free unlock from service menu wasn't working, i think it's stk.apk, it appeard to be missing as they didn't open service menu), 15 gs2 lte, 20-30 BB including z10...i have yet to have a single issue with this cellunlocker.net.
and as you noticed you tried this long after the free method was posted....
and in case you are wondering those weren't my phones, i just unlocked them...
I've always used paypal too, in case.
I've never had a problem with them before either. That's what I'm saying. Lost a long time customer.
As for the free unlock method, in the other thread, that was for my girlfriends phone.
Nothing fishy here. I did use PayPal and there is a claim open.
I was stating MY experience with them. Of course others may have had codes that worked. I didnt. Which is why I sold that phone and just got an unlocked 9505.
Like I said, wanted to share my experience. I wouldn't knock a company for no reason.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Not in my case
I am a locked GS4 from fido and I paid 24.99 to get the unlock code from their website. Though the first method they suggested in the email didn't work, but the second worked perfectly. Maybe you just didn't read through their feedback e-mail and followed the entire instructions.
Awful experience with cellunlocker.net
Be carefull with Cellunlocker.net, they didn't comply with the refund policies.
I bought two codes with them, OrderID::xx4024 and OrderID::xx2763 and at the end the codes didn't work.
They start to send me some instructions to make the codes work but with no success.
Sometimes it seems like the person who answered my emails didn't know anything about my orders. They get me tired sending me the same instructions time after time and asking me for some videos with a "REFUND INSTRUCTIONS" as email header.
Once I realized we were going to nowhere I asked them for my money back as its refund policy in their website, I received nothing. I didn't receive an email with the reason to don't refund me.
I'm very disapointed with cellunlocker.net, they have attended a lot of people but my experience started very well but at the end it was completely awful.
I've never used unlock codes ever I only use unlock by software and USB and I've never had a problem.
I used them a couple of times and all the codes work. There shouldn't be any reason for it not to work as its pretty much impossible to send you faulty codes because of the way each code is unique to each phone. Anyway, if for some reason the codes don't work, you get back to them with your issue and if they give you a hard time, take it up with the payment processor (credit card, paypal) it will make things faster

I've used them now on three different phones, and they all worked great. The only way it might not have worked is if you chose the wrong phone type.
Unlocked my fiance Bell Note 3 with no issues with this company.
From what I understand., sometimes you need to be on the stock firmware to be able to unlock.. My rogers s4 unlocked with no issues as well

I unlocked my

It feels good to get the UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL message on my screen after punching in the code.
Awesome stuff!
Strange you went through that.

these guys are great too : swiftunlocks dot com - (notice the pleural) - used them twice for s5. Most s4 should be out of contract by now in which At&t will give you the code. OR there's software ways of doing it for the S4.

Sorry these guys failed me hard, I never got my refund back and I am going through a paypal chargeback with them. Never ordering from swiftunlocks
Have been using cellunlocker for years. Never had a bad experience. I even got my last unlock for free if I filmed it and posted it on YouTube

By "never had a bad experience" i meant I always had great service... If i ordered in their business hours I'd get my code within 2 hours, if not in the AM the next day. Also their prices were always very fair and codes always worked. Once I made a mistake in the IMEI and they were very nice and sent me a new one.
DON'T use cellunlocker.net. It took them about 4 days to come up with a code that didn't work. After being forced to upload several videos of me trying the unlock code and proving that my phone wasn't rooted or running a custom ROM, they still refused to issue a refund claiming my phone was modified. It's been 17 days and they still can't come up with a working code. Avoid them like the plague!
Works!
Cellunlocker.net worked for me, received working code within one day for my Samsung S9. I guess company may have evolved and improved their unlock process over the years.
Is there a goto place to buy in the UK with a UK warranty?
Had a nightmare with oneplus and wont' buy chinese again until they have some local presence.
The Honor 8 in blue looks great, so hence the question of where to buy.
vmall.eu looks like its not UK based...
Thanks
There's cheaper but i picked mine up from Amazon just for the peace of mind of their returns.

Thanks, yes, I've had it in my basket for a few days now, but think I might wait a little longer to see how developement goes.
I thought it was supplied by others on Amazon, but I did see direct from Amazon too.
Thanks.
£339 from three which is also unlocked.

Your best bet is to purchase the Honor 8 UK edition thru vmall.eu (https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-8-blue-292297/) which includes a warranty (see specifics here: https://www.vmall.eu/uk/warranty-policy/). If you have any other questions regarding the device and warranty policy, please let us know. (NS)
I got mine from a three store in the uk. No other stores stock these.
Can't go wrong mines blue looks gorgeous
vmall.eu's shipping seems from Expansys?

i phoned them and told them I don't need a sim card thanks.. already got one, so got just the phone for 339. If you get told they can't sell them on the phone and online only, then hand up and call back until you get someone who knows what they are doing. took me three attempts. must be why they are called three!
Buying them Honor devices from Three UK you get the same warranty as if bought online via Vmall.UK.So trust assured you good on all accounts and Vmall will deal with you directly once bought.
Got my partners from three today a d on the phone there is like a customer service portal, typed in the imei and she has a two year warranty
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I found only three mobile selling it for me and like mentioned i phoned up three and told them i had no need for a sim card and just wanted the phone to which the lady was more then helpful, mine arrives tomorrow as i ordered Sunday ...
i cant wait.

Thanks, I have read those and they don’t specify who the repairer is and what country they reside, so it isn’t clear if its shipped abroad to get cover or done in the UK and are subject to UK laws?

Likely just me, but won’t ever buy from these people again, so they are off the list. Poor excuse for a company.

Thats an option but left three many years ago as they don’t know what customer service is and we have no coverage from them.

Between 3 and Expansys, Amazon are by far the best option for me, but they only cover the device for one year and then you’d have to go to honour or others?
Just not clear and although it looks a lovely device, I will steer clear until it becomes clear who i deal with if anything should go wrong.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

Its SIM only and unlocked. Use what ever carrier you want and get the phone with generic firmware for £339
The phone from three is unlocked so you can put what ever sim in you want.

I think 1 year is good enough already... usually after 1 year, manufacturer will stop/slow down upgrade, at that time, you have to rely on developers from XDA or places alike.

i have to agree here, most places will only offer a year anyway as after this they normally have slowed down production and are at that point concentrating on another product.
if its that much of a problem about aftercare i would personally find good insurance for your phone after the year is up @OP
i have insurance on all my electronics so i never pay a thing for breakdowns etc.

Well, maybe off topic, but there is a second opinion on extended warranty... :victory:
Skip the Extended Warranty and Save the Money Instead

Hey everyone.
So I was out looking for phones and I found a guy in delhi selling refurbished phones. They have a website, three branches as per say.
So I got myself a deal for one plus 6 in around 18k.
6gb,128gb version.
I am currently on Rei Note 5 Pro and thinking of making the change.
All I need is a little reponse if I should go ahead ?
I have paid 500 as booking fees, site seems legit. The guy seems legit so far.
He will give me the tracking Id tomorrow and the rest amount is COD.
What do you guys think of it ?
The device comes with 1 year warranty and 1 week replacement/ return.
Feels sketchy , seeking a 34 k mobile for 18 k May be the screen or some other internals may have been replaced. Also what type of warranty is he providing seller or company warranty and in India we have had enough tube getting warranty service from known brands it is risky to trust seller warranties
Looks like scam to me
Why would anyone sell a phone for 18k when it can easily fetch 30-35k INR?
Remember, If something seems too go to be true. It is most likely a scam of some kind. Don't waste your hard earned money on something fishy as this!

Seller profile on olx
That's all scam, it's being viral on OLX India. I have attached a screenshot. My friend paid ₹1,000 for S9+ in advance and the scammer blocked his phone number. Although he got the money back after reporting the scammer to police, luckily.

Please remove the gap in http as it wasn't allowing me to post external links.
P.S. Apart from that, they are using female names to attract people.

But the thing is he has not. And he has been behaving really well so far.

Nah man.
I haven't got any reply from his side. Messages have not been delivered yet.
And there is no tracking id yet.
I am beginning to think the 500 deposit is gone for good.

Placed an order in the website mentioned
Hey just to see my luck I too placed an order in the website you mentioned. It didn't even ask me for the deposit of 500. By default it takes COD. I'm very very sure it's a scam as it didn't even ask me for any verification or confirmation

I dunno man. It seems good by the name of it.
My product is already been shipped.
I totally bonged the guy, asking him several questions.
He said these are custom duty free refurbished handsets. Sometimes unboxed.
People return or replace them frequently it seems.
Anyways, he is assuring me, he said i can live video call him while unboxing. I mean that counts for something I guess.
I will make a video of unboxing though.
Well lets hope for the best then.

So after my repeated attempts to get an ID from the guy made me cancel the order.
The guy , Mithlesh Sharma, employee of the website company or so he told me.
He sent me an Adhaar Card of some person he said was his boss.
I mean he couldn't send his own but apparently all employees have the boss's adhaar card.
plus it was all sketchy from the start..and with all the frauds goin on..i backed out.
as soon as I told him I will not be receiving the parcel as he failed to present a proof. He blocked me and did not respond on call.
moreover if you check olx, now i see these fake ads more than actual ones.
i mean a guy has posted ads in chandigarh, lucknow and delhi at the same time. Cash on delivery..buff..
I mean what if the box had just glass or bricks or soap inside. I choose to believe nobody would;ve listened then.
17k is a good amount.
might as well but the pocof1..lol
