Easybuy Phones, Pros & It's Cons by gstream: 2:08am On Dec 01, 2021
EasyBuy is a company that enables you buy phones & pay in installments.

How it works
You approach any mobile phone dealer store, where any of their representative are stationed, make available a certain deposit for any phone of your choice, provide some references, make available a government ID & your Bank Debit card details & in less than 10mins, you have a new phone, ready to "follow" you home.

How Repayment happens
The EasyBuy security plugin is downloaded to your new phone. This enables you make each secure payments for monthly installments & probably can be used to Lock your phone remotely once, you default in remitting in any month.

Pros.
Enables you own a new phone of your choice, without out breaking the bank.

CONS. Which is where I am going.
The Security plugin seems to do more than just secure payments and remote lock thing.

Why did I say this?.
I took an Infinix Hot10i on Easybuy, in the second week, I can't listen properly to WhatsApp audios, other times, the speakers keeps blaring for no reason...while no one anywhere near it. I am not owning them at the moment & I can't find pictures people send via WhatsApp & Facebook to me in the phone.

I was mandated to take it to CarlCare. At CarlCare, I was told the phone is okay.
I tried asking the customer service lady @ CarlCare a thing about EasyBuy Phones; remember it's not the same company. She replied that, "Bros, I don't know if EasyBuy Phones usually have issues o",but with a dry smiles which shows she was hiding something. & She kept looking at me suspiciously..
Truth is, a colleague bought on Easybuy too & the phone just wouldn't work again, without any hardware broken physically.

Is it just a coincidence that his phone has issues after full payment(4months plan) or EasyBuy Phones actually do have issues?.
Because I can't afford to slave to pay almost 80k for a phone of 59,100 naira & loose my phone after full instalment has been paid.

Please share your experience guys.

Guy easybuy is the best platform to buy a phone and pay installmentally. At least I know 10 people including me that have gotten a phone through easybuy. I think the problem is the shop/store where you get the phone.

I don't think they have any cons. They are helping Nigerians have access to smart phones at payment plans

the kind of life i live, i will never buy what i cant pay for once, at least i have been been like this all my life, i pray i dont get to that point of buying whats beyond my pocket and i will have to be paying gradually.

earlier this year, i desired iphone, i had the money almost complete, i wanted to buy iphone 8 then, but if i buy this phone so, i no go gallant, i still get rents to pay, food styff to buy, other small small bills to pay too. naso i use my money buy infinix smart 5 lite, and i still get enough change to run thru the month.

i have been using the phone with no issues.

now i have the money for iphone 8, but iu no longer desire any iphone below iphone X grin

i have the money for iphone XR, but as usual if i spent such on phone, i no go gallant, so i keep my phone and live comfortably, phone no be do or die, and life na turn by turn

OP the phone you bought is bad not easy buy phone, I got my phone from easy buy july infinix smart 5 Just paid my balance last month and everything is okay , security plug in have nothing to do with your WhatsApp
The only cons I know is that after paying up I still need to flash my phone, I can't reset it, the security plugin won't deactivate and their agent can do anything angry
