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.

jazzer - you could try the phone shop near ED stn, the blue-painted shop.

Pras there has sorted me on several things previously, not unlocks, but that doesn?t mean he can?t do that.

He?s on 07967 525383

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.
