One good day i bought a fine china phone and i was rejoicing that I’ve got something special, and the phone is as long as a limo zen vehicle,i was playing music with the phone as a music lover i then noticed that the phone was hotter than fire, and i was thinking of putting it in a cool water for it to chill up,hmmmmmmmmm,as time went on i was really enjoying the phone til one day when i got an urgent call and picked up “the phone tripped off ahhh that was a call that should give me money, i was so aggrieved and the funny thing was that their was no extra battery cos i was thinking it was low battery. I later sold the phone @ the rate of N500 naira. that was my experience on the counterfeit phone experienced.
THANKS.
I saw this ads of counterfeit phone experience last week but ignored it thinking that I never had such an experience of counterfeit phone. But seeing the ad over again this afternoon I just remembered a very nasty experience of a Nokia N90 chinko model that was given to me by a family friend.
The phone in question was presented to me, but because I do not need an extra phone at the time I was given, I decided to lend it to my elder sister whose phone was spoilt to be using it. She inserted her sim into the phone but the first call she received on it, the caller had to be cutting the calls and redialing may be it was a network problem because the voice he was hearing was like that of a baby. This went on for like two(2) days with different people calling in and then complaining of same problem. When complaints were much, she returned the phone to me and I was advised to take it to the Phone repairers saying it was the sound system that had a problem. To cut a long story short, since the phone was given to me without a manual and I have never used a chinko phone or had anybody with such experience before,I felt it would be a waste of money going to repair a chinko phone. So I just gave the phone to my niece to use as a toy until one faithful day that I decided to check the phone settings, then I saw where the tone was actually set into a baby own. Even one can change decide to change the tone to sound like an Old woman, old man, even animal voices. On seeing this, I reset the tone to normal and it became a normal phone with normal human being voice. I cannot stop laughing at the silly eyo(hello), a wa yu (how are you) etc with tiny voice like a bird’s own that my phone sends back to my callers before re-setting. Haba! It was a very nasty experience as people don know say na chinko phone we dey use for our house ooooooooo…I still dey laugh on top that experience with my darling CHINKO NOKIA N90 PHONE. Abeg, make I win this smart phone ooo so that it will be every dissapoint is a blessing…lol.
I bought this brand new chinese phone called lephone but Unfortunately I was beaten by the Rain with the Phone on me,To My Surprise this Phone dont Switched off but It started Charging itself without been Plugged to an Electricity and Its not using Solar energy as well.
The way i lost my ist phone was dramatic. Thieves came to our lodge and they asked for my phone, i have them my 4yr old nokia3310. I was stoned with the phone 4 so long.they broke the phone and gave me the pieces and they left. I finally decided that it is time 2 get a new phone. Camera phone was on my mind. At the market they showed me the grade of new camera phones i could afford. I took one beautiful one they called E100, in fact it was written on top. I was happy with the gadgets and most of all the warranty of 6months. I got home, charged the battery for 6hrs. I took the phone and switched it on. I tried to call my friend but he couldn’t hear me.i changed my position in the room, that did not help until finally i hit the phone with my hand in frustration. That was when it worked. Before i know it, i heard that strange noise of battery low. Then it went off. I charged the battery 4 another 3 hrs. Switching on the phone, i saw GOODBYE instead of WELCOME. it was there for like 2 mins before it went off. And it never came up again. Since i still have the warranty, i decided to return it but i was told not refundable was written on my receipt. I went to a repairer to check the fault. Suprisingly glued sand , papers, and chewin gums were seen inside. The repairer said i should bring 4000 for the repairs. I bought the phone at the rate of 7500 for God’s sake. I took the phone from him and gave it to a little boy close to our house, as a gift. The next day the boy came to my house crying with his father with him. If pointed at me. Then i knew that phone had brought problem to me. He said the phone caused blackout to the entire building and might as well cause damages to some appliances. He said i will be responsible for the expenses. E100 taught me a lesson i would not forget. Now i’m using 5130 xpress music which i bought in a nokia store. If u want to sell counterfeit to me, better think twice
….so how do I even start this very long story? Ok, so I promised my kidsister a phone for her 13th birthday which was also her first day in Senior high school, and trust me she was excited like hell, coz that would be her first official phone.
Due to the busy nature of my job I couldn’t get to the store to get the phone and wrap it up just in time for her birthday so I sent a friend to get her a “NOKIA C3”, coz apparently my kid sister is a Nokia freak (considering the way she’s always busy with my Nokia phone whenever I’m around). I was gonna be away until her birthday afternoon so I made sure a friend got the phone and wrapped it up just the way my kid sister would like it.
To cut a long story short I got home just before she cut her cake. Armed with the gift I already picked up from my friend, I presented the phone to my kid sis, in the presence of all her fiends and my siblings. She quickly unwrapped it and wore a great smile immediately she saw the Nokia pack. Eager to find out what model it was she brought the phone out and almost immediately the smile turned into a long face. I thought she was just being naughty and asked if she won’t at least say “thanks for the phone”, but she replied “You want a thank you for a “NOKLA V3″?” . I froze for some seconds before utering “am sorry, I didn’t mean it that way, I actually didn’t get the phone myself and am just seeing the phone now”
I felt bad coz I not only embarrassed myself, my kid sis felt very sad coz SHE thought I embarrassed her in the presence of her friends. It’s barely a year this happened, but it still lingers on her mind, though I made up with another phone.
So now you know my “counterfeit phone experience”. Don’t tell anyone ooo *lol smiles*
On one very faithful morning,i pakaged d money i’v bin saving 4 months 2 go get me an x2 fone..wen i got 2 computer village in ikeja,Lagos,i met d roadside phone sellers.they brought out d fone and tested it in ma front..afterwards i was impressed and i bought d fone…i then boarded a vehicle back home.while in d vehicle,i decided 2 test d fone,so i brought it out…suddenly i noticed dz bad smell wen i brot out d fone…i tried puttyn it on but all 2 no avail…it wz just a fone casing paded with fufu..i didn’t know wen i started cryin in d bus…i will never 4get dat day
I got this fake nokia phone in the morning on a fateful saturday,I was so excited and ready to explore with the phone.When i go home,i inserted my sim card and also inserted d 1GB memory card i bought with it happily.My ordeal all started when i tried collecting a song i so much cherish from a friend when he told me to switch my bluetooth on.I tried switching it on but all i could see is the phone going on and off then stays again.This continued until one day when i got so curious to know what might have happened,I picked up the phone and headed to a renowned software engineer’s office.When i got there,he asked of what happened and i explained for him,he tried checking on his computer what might have happened and my mouth was agaste when he told me the serial has been corrupted and that it has m remedy.I left the place downcast and as if that is not enough the phone started going on and off,so i decided to charge maybe the error will be rectified,to my utmost surprise,the phone went off and never came on again.This has been my worst experience with a fake phone.
I planned on buying express music, but when i got to the store
i saw a new edition of the phone using two sims, same colour and structure! And got for #8,500. I told my friend from whom i saw and like d phone in the 1st instance, and told him.
I thought i was lucky not to have paid #15,000 and yet use two SIMS, I wore great pride.. My music was louder, had i known, i would’nt av listend to music but can a poor me do? I am music freak! After good 4days of undistrupted enjoyment, the phone showed me why it was cheaper! I was listening to music and at a point it stoped, i was wondering may be the song had been corrupted but later realised the speaker had spoiled!
I got it repaired but since then could’nt play two song before it heats up!
I was embarrasse d when my girlfriend came visiting, she wanted to login to her facebook account bu could’nt. With all effort of configuration settings d reply was: invalid web address.
She wondered which kind Nokia xpress music be this? She then pressed *#0000# and discoverd it was’nt a nokia product! Then i realised i was carrying a Jacky Chan’s cell phone.
I had no option but to keep using it, but one day it finally gave up the ghost. When after lenghty hours of charging, with a call it signaled low battery. I had to remove the battery ane re-insert it but it would never switch on again, i tried to repair to but to no avail, so it died without resurrecting. ‘2months not well spent’ but it introduced me to dual-simicity, cos i now use Nokia C200(dual sim)! Which i’m using now, my gurl now facebook like err!
(PART 1)
alright Olusegun, before you start reading my counterfeit phone story, i suggest you first grab your self a pack of gala, lacasera, or just suck up on your favorite fanyogo for the next couple of minutes, pls indulge me, am sure it’l be a juice worth your squeeze!
ok!.. lemme just cut to the chase!
this unforgetable experience happened to me some months back whilst on my way back to lagos from ibadan after the end of the semester, for a hot minute nw, i have been relegated to using a chinko tv phone, all thanks to armed robbers that robbed me of my previous phone, that took me almost a year to save up for, an “ORIGINAL” nokia n8
now this my chinko phone doesnt have a 0 and #, so everytime i want to collect or call a new contact, i have to put my phone codedly in someone elses phone!..(yeah! me, and my phone, we gangsta like that)
but as a sharp omo boi now, life must continue! chinko phone or not, my swag is never hard to see when it comes to the *awon gehs* (although i most of the time cringe about the phone in my church mind) but on the outside, i act like nothing dey hapun,(u know as e dey go nah!!)
so, as i got to the bus park, my eyes quickly went “Christopher Columbus” on all the chics within the perimeter scanning for a prospective babe i could acquaint through the journey.
and bingo!.. i saw her!, a babe in my faculty that i’ve had under my radar for a while,
for the sake of this story, lets call her mz-oluwaendowed, (so that it doesnt seem like am cramping her style on a public blog like this)
now! mz oluwa endowed is one those babes that on a good day, u will find wearing brazilian hair as long as the third mainland bridge, heels as high as a story building, and mary kay make up all plastered to her face looking like a finer female version of michael jackson in 1996.
(YEAHISAIDIt!!.. And i stand not be corrected!!), okay!.. maybe a little Exaggerated sha! .lol
morale of the story, she, by all means she is(was) a bigz girl in school.
so i gathered some liver and composure and strategically positioned myself where i would be able to sit beside her! in the bus, and boi did my plan work!
about 30mins into the journey, i struck up a conversation and we both got talking, talked about school, music, and general 411, and just as she was basking in the OLEKU moment i put her in, i mean she was really feeling the boi, smiling and laughing like she had known me her whole life, i suddenly noticed that some of the other guys in the bus were player hating on me, the countenance on their faces about me was screaming!…”warris even wrong with this one sef, he tinks he’s the only one that can scope a a babe abi??”
in my mind, am like DUHHHH!!! “make all of una go give hot boiling ring bl*wjob for all i care” me i dey offload this babe container, and nothing can stop me.
(PART 2)
whilst stil chin-wagging, mz oluwaendowed’s phone rang!, and lo and behold it was a clone (chinko) version of the nokia n8, (trust me, if yo’ure not phone savvy, u will gock it as being the real deal at first glance)
immediately i saw it, i was literally *dancing windeck* in my mind, ope o!, the two of us are kuku chinko users!, my confidence level just increased by 1000%
now, unknowing to mz oluwa endowed she thouhgt her phone was the original nokia n8, and told me that it was mine that was a fake and hers original, i just laughed out loud, telling her that our argument was suppose to be about which was “faker” between both our phones!!, we kept going back and forth until some1 else in the bus confirmed to her that her phone was indeed a fake! in his words… “chinko leleyi, 9k ni won ta ni computer village!”
gosh! she was so embarrassed!!, that am sure she wished she could just go “RENTAGHOST” on all of Us. **Insert LMAO smiley here**
like that wasnt enough, a few minutes later, our conversation picked up, she then flipped through my music playlists and marked over 50 songs that she liked them and that i should send them to her via bluethooth!
i gently obliged!… so i started sending the songs!..
unfortunately for her by the time we got to our destination (lagos), i was only able to send about 20 of the songs to her,
as we were about to part ways, was when i heard the shocker of my life!, she asked where do you live, i told her akoka, and she said she lived in Gbagada, i was now wondering do you want to come to my house nii??
she said No o!, its just that i really like those songs on your phone.
“WHY DONT YOU SEND THE REMAINING SONGZ TO ME THROUGH BLUETOOTH FROM YOUR HOUSE WHEN YOU GET HOME??
at this point, i ddnt know whether i should laugh, cry for her, or just do both!
i gues i just couldnt help myself!
i laughed out so loud that the laugh almost literally removed my boxers!! .lmfao!!
startled to her pants, she asked me why i was laughing, not wanting to add to her earlier embarrassment in the bus, i told her nothing!, that it was just a random thought that came to my head,
i just turned round, stopped a bike and just went straight home!
gosh!!! that statement still stands out
as the dumbest and stupidest thing i’ve heard in 2011!!
ok!.. maybe the baba suwe’s story of mistakenly swallowing wraps of condom concealed drugs is also a strong contender now* .lol
**i still cringe on her behalf shaaa!!**
Mehhhn!!!… laf wan tear my belle!! for here!
people think am crazy!!
