Missing the 800MHZ band probably wont cause you problems in the cities but for those towns with 4g coverage on the 800MHZ (band 20) freq you wont be covered. The One plus is like this it is missing the 800 band.

This is an interesting ist post on the oneplus furum that outlines the lack of a oneplus 800MHZ band.

Do Vodafone only use 800MHz for 4g, or in addition to 1800MHz?

Looks like Vodafone only use 800MHZ, meteor use 1800 and 800, 3 use 1800 only.

This might be useful

A cautionary tale for people considering Mixeshop: as I mentioned in my previous post, I ordered a THL from them but got the wrong phone. It turns out that they mixed up my order with some guy from the Maldives (somehow). So after a bit of back and forth with customer service, they asked me to post the phone directly to this guy and he'd do the same for me. Questionable data protection security aside, I decided to do this as I really need that phone. So off I go to the post office and, not wanting to lie to the registered post people and get screwed later, I told them I was sending a phone. Only to be told that I can't send batteries in the post. So now I'm stuck with a phablet I don't want and my phone thousands of miles away with no means to send this guy's phone back. Considering a Paypal dispute at this point but we'll see after the next email from customer service.

The moral of the story is: use DHL with Mixeshop. On the off chance they feck up your order, they feck it up bad. My friend ordered hers with DHL from them and had no problems - not even customs duty!

Ummm, go to a different post office?

There is no way I would have agreed to this, the guy in the Maldives could send you an empty box, and you are left with nothing.

I'd say the rule applies everywhere. I don't want them to open the box to check, see a battery and then get on to me because I didn't declare it.

I thought about this but they asked us to send it by registered post and I figured that if nothing showed, I could always ask for a refund.

Also their English isn't great so communicating about this has been awkward to say the least.

He could still send you a brick in a registered post parcel and once it gets delivered it will become a 'he said - you said' type of argument.

You should only be dealing with Mixeshop and let them sort it out.

Yeah that's fair enough. I think in my hurry to sort it out I just went with what sounded like the quickest solution. Not sure what they're going to ask me to do now!

Tell them they have 2 weeks to DHL/UPS you what you ordered or you'll do a chargeback with your credit card company and sell off what they sent you as compensation, they can recover the other one from Morocco in their own time and you'll send the one you didnt want back when you're happy. Losing money is all they'll care about.

The only way I would deal with this is to tell them you want them to send you a new phone and not the one that ended up in the Maldives .

Ok lads, i'm back with news of our friend the zopo. I found the 32GB version for just €241 on 1949deal but was a bit wary of using them so I sent coolicool and gearbest a price match request. Low and behold gearbest got back to me and they have price matched.

Bargain and a half
