Is it possible to get a completely seal packed device these days ? I'm thinking of getting an S7 Edge but just not sure where to from.
I was thinking of trying out Telemart.

If someone has brought it with themselves while coming from abroad in personal baggage, that is definitely sealed.
Official warranty ones are also opened AFAIK and then resealed here with the official warranty cards and shit.

Telemart, iShopping, HSN, all get their phones from foreign suppliers and regardless of the fact they have an NOC to import in bulk, customs will still break the seals on most, if not all phones.

So technically the only way to get a sealed S7 edge is if someone brings it from Dubai or somewhere. It's available at a better price there and they have decent bundles as well.

I wouldn't.
Telemart is better. Way better.

I placed an order with them and they asked me for advance payment and stated a delivery time for 3-5 days so I cancelled it.
Kind of kills the point of COD if you have to go to their main office to pay in advance and then still wait to receive the device.

Ah, I hate it when they do that.
Errrr.... I had a few bad experiences with HSN, but most were good. So, take a shot, how bad could it be? Yes, they may make excuses about stock shortage, or not having the right color, or a sudden price increment, so keep those in mind when you do order. You're in Karachi though, so if anything goes wrong, you can personally beat the crap out of them by visiting their office.

haha I've actually done that before.
I ordered a Galaxy SII I9100 once, the one they sent me was the I9100G so I went up to their shop and got my money back.
I'll probably check out some mobile shops first instead, its a bit expensive on HSN at 64.5k.

I'll probably check out some mobile shops first instead, I think the device can be got for much cheaper, its for 62k on vmart actually while a bit expensive at HSN.

The non warranty UAE / Malaysia imports can be had for much less in the local market.
S7 (flat) is for 64k in Islamabad/Rawalpindi without warranty, but brand new.

Really? Well then, I'm glad I didn't buy one. Is that the warrantied variant by any chance?

Can any S7 edge user link me to a decent case for a decent price here ? Not the overly priced spigen ones.

Clear rubber cases are the only affordable ones available here.

Everything BRANDED here is overpriced, regardless of being priced cheaper abroad.
Spigen, Caseology and others.

I got a new mobilink sim today and its of the 0300 number series.
I'm wondering if these numbers are recycled ? Because I cant see how this series is still available.

0300 numbers are available in postpaid at some larger offices, usually not at franchises.

After the whole BVS fiasco last year (or 2 years ago, I forgot), some numbers that weren't verified are FINALLY being recycled.

I presume these are recycled then as they are new sims and readily available.

Yeah they probably are.

Is it 0300-2xxxxxx?

Yes it is.
There isn't a problem with them being recycled is there ?

No no it's fine.
Just wanted to know if they're keeping the trend of recycling numbers based on region/city and it seems that they are.
