fastcardtech phone review

[imba22]

I have found some awesome clones on fastcardtech.com. I was little scepticle to order from a chinese website. Does anybody here give me honest advice if I can buy phone from them?

Don't get those cheap no brand phones.

Sure you might end up with a good one, but they're more of a risky buy compared to the quality name brands. If you don't have the money for one save up for a little longer.

Yeh.. exactly

Many of these "awesome clones" are not quite as awesome as they make them out to be. Things like "4G/LTE" means basic GSM dual-band only and it won't work in the States, "8megapixal auto-focus camera" means 1megapixel(if that) fixed-focus, "GPS" when it doesn't have GPS. "AMOLED screen" means crappy low resolution cheapo screen with very limited viewing angle, "multi-touch" means one or two touch, or even resistive screen, etc.

Some clones and non-branded phones are actually very good, but that's the chance you take when ordering one. If you end up with a lemon... hard luck....you're stuck with it. Only thing one can do is probably take it up with the credit card company as fraud.

I'm in China, so I do have a bit of an advantage, in that I can actually examine them before purchase.

Scam!
Having bought a phone at fastcardtech, it arrived ( that's the last good thing) broken. I was instructed to sent it back for repairs.
After a few weeks I asked for an status update and it would take another month.
(a trick to get you being to late to claim it with paypal buyers protection?)
From then: silence.
Not giving up on a status update requests they now claim the phone never arrived for repairs...
Yeah, right .. .. you mean lost..

Avoid fastcardtech company at all costs!

That said I'm having good results with companies like dealextreme, pandawill or geekbuying. But fastcardtech is scam.

I made 2 orders. First was a meizu mx4 . Best price in internet and it arrived fast. BUT the box was missing the genuine-security sticker. The touch screen was not working and so the phone was unusable. After long contacts i send back the phone and i lost the shipment cost and some accessories cost that i bought elsewhere. I was refunded and so i made a second order as i thought that it was a random bad moment. Second order were 2 brand new meizu mx4 pro 16gb phones. They arrived in perfect condition this time and i was very happy. BUT again serious problems started. One of the 2 phones was android 4.4 and the second was 5.1. I upgrade the older android version with the meizu update system and now i had 2 working android phones BUT with Chinese version android without Greek language. Both of them were installed the Chinese and not the international android version. You can say that i had to be more careful so i start to look more on the phones. So i checked their imei and serial numbers AND i found that one of the phones had fake imei number. It was using the imei number of Samsung SM-G3812 phone And this imei number exist not only inside android info but also inside phone battery with sticker - which means that there is a designed fraud for this situation. So the phone is refurbished or stollen. I dont believe that they sell stollen phones. If i was informed that they sell refurbished phones i might have not buy them. I bought BRAND NEW phones and i had the demand to be like this. SO IN CONCLUSION when you buy from fastcardtech BE PREPARED to receive what you pay. NOT a good item in the best price in market but a suspicious item in a price that seems good BUT ....FINALLY the phones where not accepted by Meizu system and paypal made the final conclusion to send it back for refund. But in this way i loose extra shipping money.

I ordered a $160 Lenovo Android phone that arrived with the package re-taped and the contents empty. There was a phone box inside, but the box contained no phone, no charger, no cables. When I asked for my money back from FCT, I was told to get a non-existent form from the US Post Office to declare that the phone was stolen, which USPS does not do. I had USPS send back the box with an "empty contents" sticker, but FCT still would not refund my money. DO NOT USE FCT.
