I just returned from the USA, and didn't have a problem with my pre-paid T-Mobile SIM card. Worked great.
However, I am very disappointed with the BV800 battery life. It goes through a battery in less than a day. The Seller (Double-lin) won't do anything about the problem.
I activated this phone on Wednesday January 3rd 2018 on T Mobile with no problems. Works well. Just trying to get used to the phone and set it up.?, I didn't realize when I bought the phone it didn't have a warranty. Crap! I will have to buy an aftermarket warranty. Otherwise I'm satisfied with the phone.
Yesterday, this phone went down after a half-hour stay in the car in the sun. The outside temperature is + 22 ° C. Shock resistance, waterproofness - and as a result - breakdown lying on the seat of the car.
Don't buy any Blackview phone. It is a scam, they will make a full of you. Why. I have bought a Blackview bv8000 pro. It was the best mobile phone I ever had. But it come a softwer update, first, second, third... and no problem with updates. And than - last update - the lock pattern just stop to work. It show "wrong pattern". Ok, I start to google and I found a blackview forum with a bunch of BW owners that have the same problem, more even the owners that used pin protection had the same problem "wrong pin". The Blackview answered that they are familiar with problem and it will be resolved soon. I wanted to write that I have the same problem but after all writting I had to write captcha (6 numbers) to show that I am not a robot. But there way no place where to write it. Since that, 4 mont have pased and there is no fix. Second problem - after last softer updste the phone became slower at least 5 times. Yes, 5 times, no exaggerating. I have decited to do full factory reset. I did it but it is still 5 times slower, every 1 to 2 minites it frezzes totally for 10 -20 second and you can do nothind but to look in screen. The phone is now totally uselles.
Gran telefono! la verdad es que no conocia esta gama resistente!
