Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Bought a phone for my daughter, but having trouble finding a protective case for it: https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/MPHVDF511047/One-NZ-Smart-Green-Smartphone-16GB---Black---Netwo The One NZ site doesn’t have any covers for their network locked devices. Also had a look at Aliexpress, none of them seem to fit this phone. It’s an annoying name to search for as it doesn’t seem to have a type number.
Any ideas?
Ali express. Just gotta triple check you’re ordering the right model case. And be prepared to wait for it.
Thanks, but I can’t find it on Aliexpress for this particular model, I’ve contacted many sellers as well.
Uhh, this garbage ewaste is still wasting people’s money. This piece of crap will not be able to run modern apps. There need to be more accessible used options at this price that will not be thrown in the garbage in a few months when she needs a functional phone.
Sorry for the rant, I’m mad at Vodafone and PB tech for ripping you off and wasting your time, not you.
I tried to find a reference to OEM that built it because there might be other identical phones with different names, but I couldn’t find any reference outside of NZ or AU. If you can’t find anything either, you could try to find a similar shaped phone using the gsmarena phone finder. https://gsmarena.com/search.php
And yeah, Aliexpress and Temu are the best place for things like phone cases if you aren’t in a hurry.
I appreciate your concerns but I’m perfectly aware of the phones limited specs. It will only be used for calling, texting and messaging and for that it’s perfect.
Will try looking it up on Gsmarena. Thanks for having a look.
