Thanks for the tag,firstly,I will say things are a bit costly here in Nigeria, I won't be surprised if all these devices you mentioned cost over #100,000 in Nigeria. Recently my mobile phone got spoilt and I had to take a 3 days break from hive before I was able to get a new one. I visited more than three phone marts or stores before I could get an affordable one which my money could buy. I initially wanted a samsung device because I so much love samsung products but I was seeing devices worth #200,000 that should be around $200 because the current exchange rate is #1,304 to $1. I don't have such an amount with me, my budget was #70,000 giving me products like itel, redmi, which I have no interest in. At last I was able to get an infinix product which is infinix smart7HD mobile phone for #97,500 approximately $98. This wasn't my choice but I had to settle for it as that's what my money could buy. Getting devices here to make hive work easier is a good idea and what I desire. I went as much to price a laptop (Dell product) to be precise and I was told to bring #220,000. Likewise a samsung tablet,7inches is being sold at #100,000. Work would be easier on laptop and tablet than mobile phone but all these devices are expensive. For someone coming into hive to have a good working experience, laptops and tablets would be a good one but in the absence of that, one has to settle for the available ones which are the mobile phones. To buy a new phone in Nigeria presently isn't a child's play, one has to be fully prepared. Reaching out on hive goes beyond the rewards alone, it's a space to reach out to the world beyond one geographical area, one sure need good devices to do that and aside that, data subscription is also a very important factor to consider because it can be choking at times and that aside, network strength isn't so good these days, it's fluctuating on daily basis.

IF it worked that would mean an inexpensive way to get a very basic device into the hands of someone (from Canada to Nigeria via China...global effort 😁).Well, a few of the devices I purchased (the mini phone, the 7" tablet and the keyboard/mouse) were from Aliexpress. They say free worldwide shipping so I was thinking that IF they weren't terrible I would reach out to an #earnspendgive member to see if they would be willing to accept shipment to their home. I'd pay and they would receive the item. Or not...it is coming from China after all.
If it doesn't work, well, for under $30 it would be a reasonable learning experience.
So if you know someone who would be willing to give up their address and some time to make a review... let me know so I can try sending them a device (on a future mission...this months money is already spent hehe 😄)
Okay , no problem
I have someone who would be interested in giving her address and also make a review.
We can talk more for June's mission. You are the top candidate for it right now but need to focus on May's mission first :)
Yeah sure,we are on it. It will be done
