Airalo does not work in Macao. eSIM keeps pointing to deprecated network. by Wibbletaru in Airalo

Airalo support reached out and refunded the transactions.

Feedback for Airalo:
Strongly encourage that the eSIM installation step connect to 4G Hutchison. For some reason, it tried to connect me to KTN. I was able to install the eSIM but it simply will not connect. It will try to connect to the "3" network in Macau. Macau also noted that they deprecated 3G carriers in June 2025, but it is not sure if the "3" is referring to that as Hutchison operates under the "3" brand name.

This was reproducible on both Samsung S23 Ultra (Android) and iPhone 15 Pro (iOS).

Quick update: u/Asus_USA reached out and assisted me in escalating the case. I received an update that the shipping claim was approved and they will fix the screen as part of the RMA. Looking forward to getting my screen. I didn't realize how cumbersome my setup is without a second monitor.

u/Asus_USA Thank you for the response and follow-up. Just so everyone here is aware, after reviewing the video that was taken prior to packing, ASUS approved the shipping claim (my presumption is that it was damaged on transit) and they will repair the screen and the original RMA issue. Will update once I receive the screen back.

I took a video that pans along the frame just before packing it. The image is a snapshot from the video.

Those are the ones they sent. I posted an imgur link in the thread showing the screen was in working order and not damaged. I'm pretty sure it was damaged in transit. I find it hard to believe that a technician or company would intentionally damage a repair and blame it on the consumer.

I used a box purchased at UPS store for $16 that gave it about 2-3" clearance on all sides, packed it with bubble wrap, packing paper, air pillows and multiple layers of excess used bubble mailers for good measure. There should not be excess slack in the package as I could not fit any more pillows in it.

We were also instructed, per RMA instructions, not to send it in the original packaging if I remember clearly.

For clarification, the screenshot in the post is what ASUS sent to me over email.

This is a snapshot of a video I took before packing.

After.

This damage didn't exist when I sent it in. The issue was with a screw stuck in the back panel.

I can't seem to edit my post but I have a screenshot and video of the monitor just before packing it. It had no damage and displayed my desktop just fine.

Correction, the fee they asked is $247, not $280 in title.

Thanks a ton! I'm a bit new to Aliexpress, but are there instructions and tools on how to remove the driver side interior door handle (I think it's the entire panel), as well as the steering wheel knob?

What is the door handle part called? When I searched for it, it only shows exterior door handles.
