In total, the purchase cost him 242 thousand rubles, which is much cheaper than similar models presented on the Russian market. We have similar options that cost about a million rubles.
At first glance, the savings seemed justified, as the TV was delivered intact and worked smoothly. However, right after the first launch, the user encountered an unforeseen problem.
When turned on, the TV asked for an account login, requiring a code that could only be sent via SMS to a Chinese phone number to create it.
Of course, Ninikol1 did not have a Chinese number and tried to use virtual number rental services. However, to my disappointment, I did not receive SMS to such numbers.
As a result, the only way out for him was to seek help from a salesman living in China. The seller has registered an account on his SIM card and Ninikol1 has entered all the necessary data and can now use the TV.
However, this solution to the problem has its drawbacks. So, in case of any problem with the account in the future, it will need to reconnect with the Chinese number for confirmation. It is also not a fact that the seller will contact the user and agree to help.
