Local mobile phone shop or person recommendations wanted?


Does anyone have a recommendation for a local mobile phone shop or someone who has experience of "unlocking phone networks". Am trying to move from Virgin mobile to Lebara on a 3G phone. On inserting the Lebara sim, says emergency calls only and I have no connection bars, and a cross above the bars.


Since getting the remaining credit back from Virgin today the problem started, they have put a little credit back on but still cannot connect to network. Virgin are saying they'll send a new sim, as they think it needs replacing, original virgin sim was replaced by them two years ago.


Virgin mobile PAYG network ceases operation on 10/1/22 hence trying to get new Lebara sim working.


Any pointers or help appreciated.

Sorry Sue but having spent hours on the landline yesterday with both providers trying to sort it and again today, having to repeat yourself umpteen times, not getting straight answers to questions, it gets very frustrating, when virgin PAYG mobile have created the problem but take no responsibility. Arghhhh.


I think I need to ask a local phone techie to try and sort it. Tried to today, is uncontactable, will try tomorrow.

    • @Sue now that you've been provided with an elegant sufficiency (most usefully from @Dogkennelhillbilly ) of evidence of sectarianism in the Gorton and Denton campaign, has your support for the Greens changed in any way? Genuinely interested. 
    • Another recommendation for Niko who identified a leak in my lavatory and sorted it.  Helpful and good to deal with.
    • The SSRS app (Safer seas and rivers service), is worth downloading. It gives you real time updates on water safety / sewage discharges. It's pretty eye opening / alarming, how regularly areas are not safe, but reassuring when you do get the 'all clear'. 
    • The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit.
