    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

    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.

    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.
