Wow! My KATA F1 is now in “For Emergency Use Only”!!!
Let me tell you what happen,…..
It was working well in the Philippines, hanggang airport, I’m using “Smart” sim, I did enable the “Roaming”. Nagamit ko pa siya sa Japan for texting *(di’ me makatawag), then the trouble started when I change my simcard upon arriving “New York”, I change my simcard to AT&T simcard, then, when I turned my KATA F1,… it shows “For Emergency use only’!!! Aba!!! nag panic ako!!! wala naman akong naalala na ginawang password sa cell ko so hinayaan ko lang siya and hoping that maybe it will return for normal use after while.
But to my surprise!! kahit na binalik ko ung Smart sim ko, nilagyan ko narin ng T-Mobile sim, or pinag palit-palit ko na mga simcard ko,, ay wa-epek!! Di nko na magamit!! because di’ ko na magamit, kahit na camera or di’ ko na ma buksan man lang para makita mga contacts ko!!!! Help me out please!!! meron bang paraan para maibalik ko man lang sa “Factory Preset” itong KATA F1 ko?
Please reply soon di ko man lang marawagan family ko sa Pinas except via skype sa laptop ko.
God bless and good health to all.
Why would you ask help form someone who is not responsible in fixing your gadget? Call the manufacturer or the dealer and raise your issue. Unbox.ph is neither a manufacturer nor dealer; thus, they cannot help you fix it.
Help!!!
Alam mo pare, tanga ka rin talaga eh as in pinaka-TANGA sa mga TANGA!
Nakakamiss ang inyong mga podcasts na palagi kong inaabangan. Napakadami kong natutuhan dito about gadgets.

Hi Team,
I just want to advise if you can update the “LATEST REVIEW BY BRAND” portion on the right side of your page. It seems that it is already outdated. And also, if you can fix your “Contact Us” tab on your webpage as well, that would be great!
Thank you very much and more power to you guys!
