you need to flash it with the European/international rom I think,gets rid of all of that
should be on their website

I quite fancy a chinese phone but is there anyway to flash a custom rom and not have your phone rooted as I quite like my banking apps. Also how do you know if it'll support UK 4G?

Thanks for the link.
Still not 100% sure about the Rom issue but can anyone recommend a high spec 4G phone for around £100-£150 with micro SD card support?

redmi note 2 advanced(32gb) isn't bad
think im gonna get that next
as for rooted,my Huawei phone is rooted yet I can still access my bank/move funds

Thanks for the suggestion, any suppliers you'd suggest?
Barclays won't let their app run on rooted phones, I'd heard they weren't the only one though.

Gearbest or banggood

This. Both very good in my experience.

So the XIAOMI RedMi Note 2 will not fully work on UK 4G or is there a UK version?
We need 800mhz 1800MHz 2600mhz, it doesn't seem any of the Chinese phones use 800mhz.

Thanks I already checked that site, it confirmed what I already suspected with the Redmi Note, but it only slightly helps. I don't want a phone that mostly works & if it's missing the 800mhz band then it will work but I will potentially miss out on 4G in some cases if I understand it correctly.
Anyway I did a bit more searching and it looks like the Ulefone be touch 2 covers all UK 4G bands, now gotta research whether it's worth getting one.

it depends what network your on,most work fine

Yeah I noticed that, I use 3 and EE so I need 800mhz if I want 4G especially at work where I often have signal issues at different sites.
Caporegime
pretty sure it will work on ee,my Huawei does and that has the same bands,not sure on 3

Yeah It'll work fine from what I understand as you can use 1800 & 2600mhz for 4G but you miss out on the potential benefit of 800mhz.
I'm just trying to figure out whether I'll get the Ulefone Be Touch 2 or the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, or perhaps I'll stumble across a better option.

8 days after order from GearBest and still no sign of the Redmi Note 3 actually being dispatched. Once again, asking for a refund. Why are they wasting my time...
