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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
