The Phone Hacking Saga – Victory !
fI would like to thank all the Digamites who replied both directly and posted on Digame.
The outcome is fine now but the reason I still don’t understand. Believe it or not I managed via a Movistar blog to contact Moviestar Customer Services, in English for mobile problems…..yes I did that!!
I will share this later as I think it may prove useful to others.
It appears my phone was data roaming which I cannot understand as I do not use roaming and never have done. However, the very polite gentleman at Movistar accessed my account and was able to tell me the times it went on roaming. The outcome, he has blocked roaming from my phone…all appears ok now (given I never used it is no big deal for me).
How could this happen? The only things I can think of is that in the morning I replaced my UK sim card with my Spanish sim as we had just returned from holiday the night before….but I have done this on numerous occasions without any problems. The other possibility was I received a text from an English mobile from a person I haven’t spoken to in 4/5yrs…so whether either of these activated ‘roaming’ I have no idea.
At least thankfully sorted for me now.
This is the advice I followed to get through to customer services regarding mobile problems that connected me with a helpful English speaking operative:-
Dial 1004 – it will be answered in Spanish giving you options.
At the pauses in between each of the options say “English”, “English”…I kept doing this even when I received a Spanish automated instruction and not knowing if it was working.
Then I got some crackly music with intermittent Spanish messages…I assume apologising for the delay (yes, I am guilty of speaking bad Spanish!)
Then Eureka…I was connected to a very helpful, competent, English speaking operative and he was very polite.
Hope this may assist others with Movistar mobile problems and have been frustrated in the past at trying to get through.
I would also mention that my husband experienced a similar experience some years ago. He did not have a smart phone and as far as he was aware it did not have roaming. He even took the sim out for a couple of weeks to see if that would help. It did not as once replaced his balance was gone. He took it to the Movistar shop in the Ingenio Centre. They phoned a department and put my husband on to them as they were supposed to speak English (yes, but badly), they were very rude to him, said the problem was fixed….but it wasn’t and he lost another top-up fee. Suffice to say he left Movistar and is now with Eroski pay as you go.
Once again thank you for all the information
Regards CB

Recommendation– British carpenter
We have recently had some work done by a British carpenter called Nick
Payne. It was a large storage cupboard at our house at Algarrobo
Costa.
The quality of the carpentry was very high, so the finished job is
very pleasing. When finished everything was cleared up and taken away,
He was also a pleasure to have in the house.
