| 1191931 | 2011-04-05 00:52:00 | Righto so if it's anything like my Ideos the XT coverage is limited - however it does still work, at least in the major centers. My phone is designed for 2D/Voda yet I still use it with my XT, get reception in most places around here. I don't think saying that it works on all networks is misleading because uh technically it does? And if he had no problem with coverage then how would he know otherwise? The way I personally see it is better questions should have been asked. Sure maybe he should've said it has limited XT coverage, but again what if he didn't know? If I never left my house with mine I wouldn't know otherwise cause I get great reception here. And as for it being listed in XT phones - because that's what he was using it for. Just try and sell it on or get your number switched to a 2d or something. |

| 1191932 | 2011-04-05 04:21:00 | I live in wellington and tried to use my XT SIM in the hope that the 2100MHz coverage would be adequate, I got signal at wellington and Auckland airports but other than that it was emergency calls only on Voda/2d freqs. He claims he used it in wellington fine, which contradicts what I experienced. There is no voda/2d signal where I board in masterton and signal is very scant where I live in wellington so that was the reason I was trying to sell my current SGS (and now i'm stuck with this one too it seems) Does anyone know what the 2100 coverage is like around rotorua? He says he used it for months without problems. Maybe rotorua has good 2100 coverage |

| 1191933 | 2011-04-05 04:45:00 | I had an i9000t on my desk before, they say i9000t on the back behind the battery....so if it doesn't then ask for a refund and give the phone back. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1191934 | 2011-04-05 04:58:00 | It says GT-i9000, he doesn't want to do a refund as it was working on XT up until the date of sale | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1191935 | 2011-04-05 08:33:00 | At this point I'd threaten him with consumer guarantees act and disputes tribunal. If you took him to disputes and took the phone with you and it didn't work there I'm sure they'd rule in your favour. Who was the other user you was sellign a phone and had to refund it? ask them i say. |

| 1191936 | 2011-04-05 09:14:00 | I don't think i'd threaten him yet but i'm not so sure how the tribunal would swing. They could go either way IF it could be proved that the phone operated properly in rotorua and wellington. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't but I don't know. As of now my parents are having a discussion with each other (and presumably the seller) via a nice n slow email and massive time differences :D Judging by the fact the phone has a developer ROM flashed to it I doubt the guy doesn't know what i'm talking about when I say it doesn't work on telecom or what 850Mhz WCDMA is. as far as i'm aware those things don't ship with dev roms on them (test key 332 MASTER, clockwork mod I think) |

| 1191937 | 2011-04-05 10:38:00 | Did you contact TM? Explain the situation. | radium (8645) | ||
| 1191938 | 2011-04-05 10:56:00 | Not yet (because of time differences) and also because my parents want to sort it out. I don't want to put cards on the deck that could affect the play but i'll give them a heads up as to talking to TM | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1191939 | 2011-04-05 11:08:00 | Use the IMEI checker on telecoms website and show him the result. | Alex B (15479) | ||
