It's their official website.

Does that need to be a valid UK number or can you just make one up?

There are a tonne of complaints on HUKD anytime a deal from this site comes up, might be worth looking into

Only seems to be single SIM or I would have jumped on one.

Thanks op.
Ordered 2 Redmi 8's. One for myself and one for my son.
Dont need them yet but my sons Redmi7 has a badly cracked screen and was probably cheaper to buy a new one and keep the cracked as a spare.

horse7

Is the 8 a global one.

Has anyone tried a made up number or can someone give the first digits needed and how many digits needed.

Would you believe it's in the back room in quarantine?

horse7

https://event.mi.com/uk/sales2020/easter-sale Did anyone but the redmi 8?

horse7

https://event.mi.com/uk/sales2020/easter-sale Did anyone but the redmi 8? Also how does the mi points work, is it money off a future purchase?

koutoubia

Yeah I bought 2 Redmi 8's.
Switched it on over the weekend and logged in with accounts.
Charged it fully* and now this morning I went to put in the sim card and the screen is unresponsive.
Tried a hard reset but nada.
Have sent an email to customer support so will see what happens.


*I used the genuine charging cable.

Barr

Anyone able to confirm they are definitely dual sim ?

They have chat on line support also, let's know how you get on,I was going to buy 2 also,ps did you get 10 or 20£ off?https://mobile.mi.com/uk/service/

koutoubia

Was on with the online chat/service for a good while this am. Went through everything but the screen remained unresponsive.
They are gonna send me out a jiffy bag in order to send it to a service centre to be looked at!

horse7

Did you get yours via parcel motel? Will they send the bag to your Ireland address.Apparently the phone comes from France. Is there any way they will post directly to Ireland.

koutoubia

I got mine delivered to PM but the girl on the chat asked me for my home address and phone number.

horse7

So do you use PM north address and what can you use for phone number?

koutoubia

I used my brothers phone number...he has a UK number.
I used it then told him I was using it

horse7

thanks, can you give me an idea of the number of digits to use and an area code, eg 0044 025 xxxx xxx etc, I,ll have to make one up.

koutoubia

10 not including the int code BUT inc mobile prefix so +441234567890
Look up what the mobile operators prefix is then use that and make one up!

horse7

Thanks

horse7

I'm trying to order using the mi store app,but it will not let me use the parcel motel post code BT36 4PE

koutoubia

Odd.
Maybe they have copped that its not heading to the UK!

horse7

Got passed the address, now I'm having a problem at the payment section, keeps going error

koutoubia

Sounds very familar.
I thought it was my revolut card linked to my paypal was the issue and ended up using the normal visa debit!

horse7

It won't take my visA credit card either

koutoubia

I just kept trying and eventually went through.

horse7

I've tried 3 cards for about an hour, was yours as long trying?
