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.

    • The person behind the till won't know about whether or not an assignment of their lease has been purchased by a company like Tesco.  Poundland was sold for a nominal fee so it's unsurprising that the location may close soon. As well, for what it's worth, someone working in the shop is likely to have their job impacted by the shop closing, so having loads of people going and asking them about the potential closing of their shop isn't really nice. "Hey, hear you'll be out of a job soon. Know much about that?" The best resource you all should be using for queries about planning details of new shops is the council's website. As was stated on the first page of this post, there's an application lodged for multiple changes at 29-35 Lordship Lane with the client as Tesco. They wouldn't lodge these plans unless it was happening, or at least extremely likely to happen.    The application is on the council's website here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVW246KBKF500&activeTab=summary 
    • It's a notice about a licence, but the only name on it is Poundland.
    • What did the notice on the front door say? The planning applications currently being considered clearly refer to Tesco Stores Ltd.  The signage for above the entrance says "Tesco Express". I can't imagine the two companies combining in the same space 😉  
    • I will find out. Haven't been up there yet!
