Still no charges since few months.


Although you never will know at this point in time how long it will take to receive from customs.infiniteloop wroteI am tempted by the pixel 4 xl in case there are no customs
I got an S10e from USA (Exynos version) and I inserted the sim card 3 days ago and got the SMS saying I have 90 days. Since the phone is dual sim, I will swap the sim to the other sim card slot when the 90 days expire.Kareem wroteAnother update.... I got a Note10+ N9750D/S ( SD855 version) from Latin America.... Inserted SIM card, waited all day and no customs SMS received.
Curious to find out what's the deal, I sent an SMS to 1014 and surprisingly it still shows the IMEI of my Xperia 1 with the same 31 day left message.
So either the system is down or they dropped the whole idea.
Off topic, the US version is SD855 not Exynos. Not sure if you got it from Amazon but I had a note10+ with Exynos and it totally sucks. The SD855 is much smoother in every aspect.Xsever wroteI got an S10e from USA (Exynos version) and I inserted the sim card 3 days ago and got the SMS saying I have 90 days.

Do you guys know if the custom fees will drop with time as the phone depreciates or it is based on the original price of the phone that they put in their database?
I got it from ebay and I wanted the unlocked exynos version G970F/DS. It's very fast compared to my previous S7. Can't compare it with the SD version.Kareem wrote Off topic, the US version is SD855 not Exynos. Not sure if you got it from Amazon but I had a note10+ with Exynos and it totally sucks.

I saw this earlier---send a blank sms to 1014.ironman wroteHey guys, is there any way to check whether the esim IMEI is whitelisted or blacklisted?
I tried calling alfa on 111 but they have a strike those days...
Any alternative method?
Thanks
A friend of mine bought an iPhone X from Lebanon. No IMEI blacklist, customs paid etc.xazbrat wroteI saw this earlier---send a blank sms to 1014.ironman wroteHey guys, is there any way to check whether the esim IMEI is whitelisted or blacklisted?

Yeah--that's a different issue. I guess if you buy a phone here and go to the states, you can use https://stolenphonechecker.org/spc/index.jsp, and I am sure that the EU probably has its own too site too The market here isn't very regulated so black/grey market goods have a way of making it here.jsaade wroteA friend of mine bought an iPhone X from Lebanon.

When she travelled to the US, it turns out the IMEI is blacklisted in the US and would not work (it was stolen).
So our IMEI database is just local I guess.
currently oneplus devices are not in the system so no fees apply to itTheIlluminative wroteI want to buy One Plus 6T as I am in Dubai and they have it for $320 which is a great price.
How much do I need to pay for it here?
I have a oneplus 7 pro and i can confirm that you do receive the 90 days sms but when i send an empty sms to 1014 the countdown stopped at 31 days left for 2 weeks nowTheIlluminative wroteI want to buy One Plus 6T as I am in Dubai and they have it for $320 which is a great price.

I have had the Mi 9t for a while now, and I can confirm too that also happened to me. This is one of the perks of Lebanese being clueless in the world on smartphones.bobo619 wroteI have a oneplus 7 pro and i can confirm that you do receive the 90 days sms but when i send an empty sms to 1014 the countdown stopped at 31 days left for 2 weeks nowTheIlluminative wroteI want to buy One Plus 6T as I am in Dubai and they have it for $320 which is a great price.
