Buy Phone for Relative in NZ

Looking to buy my mother a phone here and send to her in NZ as prices seem a lot cheaper here. Would anyone know of anything to look out for e.g. bands are different here than NZ etc.

She likes the look of the Moto G8 Plus and from what I can tell should be fine, just asking for assurances or assistance in anything not thought of.

Many thanks

    For the sake of a few $$, just buy it in NZ.

    If warranty issues arise, it'll be much easier. If any issues arise, it'll be easier.

    The phone you buy will work and do everything it should. Guaranteed.

    Your mother will still love you the same.

    • Hadn't thought of the warranty issues stupidly.

      Haha, luckily don't think my mother's love depends on materialism but she can be a cheeky one, bless her, so wouldn't put it past her to use it.

      Thanks for the advice mate

  • Xiaomi Mi A series is really good. They have Android One so they will use stock android and have a long life as far as updates go.

    • Will look into it.

      Thanks mate

    Phone bought in Australia will work in New Zealand, you'll have no issues there

    If you buy the phone in New Zealand for warranty or other purposes, have a look at PBTech

    The Warehouse also have the Moto G7, could be an option to consider

    • Do think I'll buy in NZ for warranty now, I'll look at PBTech.

      Classic "The Warehouse', I'll check it out, so thanks for the info bro.

      • No problem bro, all the best!
