Really really funny, I can’t stop laughing here, I just remembered what we use to do when our Dad padlock the box due to exorbitant cost incurred. I also heard that, they are selling the phone now and is hot cake; does anyone have idea on who’s buying them? I think is till have one in our old house. Pls mail jiboyo11@gmail.com or call me 08186099992. Thanks |
