A new phone

Hi friends. Happy Monday. How has been your day. Mine has been quite stressful. My boss asked me to help with some assignments and I also had to do some other things for future purpose. I'm off work now. I'll soon be home.

I appreciate your kind gestures and comments on my previous articles. I'm very excited and grateful that my friends have not forgotten about me. It feels good to be back here after about three months break. Thanks to @TheRandomRewarder for bringing us back together again.

A relative of mine longed to buy a new phone last year but due to his financial status, he could not succeed in his ambition. The kind of phone he wants is just to browse news and watch films. The one he was using before is very slow and it hangs a lot.

Last month, he travelled to the city and saw the advert of itel A60. He decided to purchase it considering the fact that it has 4G network with lots of space for him to download films. It was also the latest edition in the series. He priced it and guess what? It was the same amount he had with him. He later changed his mind to come home and buy it here because if there is any complaint about the phone, he would be able to report in time. When he priced in a it was a little bit higher than what was told in the city but he had no choice than to buy it. When he requested for the phone, he was told that the phone was not yet available because it was New edition and he should come back the following day.

I follow him the following day and when we got there, we were told the same story that the company driver was still on his way. So, we had to look for another one to buy. The salesgirls that we met there told us about lot of phones of 64GB and 4G network and the rest. So later we eventually settled for a higher one in price and storage.

The salesgirls told us about something called "easy buy" that is you will pay any amount you have with you and then the remaining amount, the interest will be added and then spread over a particular period of months. We settled for three months. He paid an amount and then interest was calculated on the remaining amount for him to pay.

We started the process of the buying. A lot of questions were asked like" where do you live? Do you work or still studying? Where do you work? When did you start working and where? What is your highest qualification. Where is your house address? When do you collect salary and the rest" They even took pictures. Can you imagine? It was so funny and it took a lot of our time before we eventually went home and then we began to explore the phone and the rest.

It has fast browser but it consumes a lot of data within minutes. It requires a 4G sim card too. We had to purchase that with NIN. It has some essential features and a lot more.

I would have uploaded the pictures of the phone but I'm not at home yet. Probably, I will edit this article later.

Thanks a lot for reading.

Do have a nice day. Bye
