Hi Fleshy, Did you discuss it with the seller yet?

I also bought the same phone and MTN told me the same reply. However I am in the process of meeting someone who said can help but a a cost. If my phone gets fixed, I will post the news to you so may be helped. I think this is rip off and I will never buy from bidorbuy again.

Hi mncen
I can understand that you're unhappy about your purchase and not wanting to buy from bidorbuy again, but please remember there is a huge variety of items available on BoB and also excellent sellers on this site. Unfortuantely buying a cellphone on any website is a risk (I've also been there) but this is not the case with all items. Please reconsider your decision as you just might be a very happy buyer next time round!

I am sorry to hear about your negative experience. The items are not sold by bidorbuy, please contact the seller and address any issues you have with them. Thanks.

I have sold many of these phones on Bidorbuy and have never had that issue. Believe me the call centre people can make you spend lots of money for no real reason just because they can't say they don't know.
I have clients who uses MTN and can use the phone with no problems.

THe 9530 is made for USA market(Maybe other countries that uses CDMA networks). It's a dual model that uses CDMA and GSM networks. It's just a matter of knowing the problem and finding the solution.
As Cuan and everyone said, speak to the seller.

If you can't get help, don't pay yet. PM me and I will give you instructions on how to overcome that problem depending if its not network locked. If the phoen is a Sprint version you might need to buy a MSL code to unlock it, but just send me some info and I can try and help.
