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- Hearing Aids

I have found a company who I would like to share and recommend for excellent service and a caring approach to supplying Hearing Aids

They are located opposite the fruit market in Malaga and so easy to find.

If you are considering anything to do with hearing aids then it is a must to speak with these people first.

They speak good English and most certainly far better than my Spanish

Kitten Needs New Home Please

Hello, my name is Foots.

I’m called Foots because I love to play with shoes (I don’t break them though!).

I’m looking for a new home because I have 6 bothers and sisters (all the same litter) and my owners can’t keep us all!

I’m female. 16 weeks old. I’m house trained. I eat anything and I’m very good fun.

I also have another brother and sister who are also looking for somewhere else to live.

If anyone wanted to take all three of us, that would be even better!

I live in Torrox but my owner will bring me to you anywhere reasonably nearby.

Please speak to my owner on:

Hacked Mobile – Responses

(1)

Hi Jane, I’m sending this via Digame because if this person has been hacked

I think it better to do it this way.I did have a similar problem a year ago and went to one of the top up booths and got it rectified .The answer was simple my Data Roaming was switched on !!!!  Once this was switched off my money on top up was O.K. . Hope this helps.

Regards Ian

(2)

This happened on my husband’s vodaphone.es account a few years ago. We took the phone into our local agent, who checked through and found he’d opened a text which was then able to access any balance on his phone. They had that number blocked and there has been no repeat of the problem.

Go into your Moviestar shop and see what they can do.

Physiotherapy & Osteopathy in Torrox Costa

I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself to the Axarquia community.

My name is Alexander and I am a Physiotherapist who trained in Germany  and qualified in 2008. I came to Spain in 2014. I have worked in various private clinics, hospitals and hotels throughout my career. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Osteopathy from NUMSS, Madrid  in 2015.

Over the years I attended many courses like Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Pain Therapy, Sports Physiotherapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Naturopathy, Bobath Concept. Developing my skills to enable myself to take a well rounded and hands on approach to all conditions. I can treat musculoskeletal conditions including sports injuries, orthopaedic surgery and spinal problems. I have a particular interest in pain management. Beside this I am trained in Neurological Physiotherapy, which is emphasized in the adequate treatment of patients with neurological disorders e.g. after a stroke, parkinson, multiple sclerosis and more.

My qualification as an Manual Osteopath has been very complementary along side my other physiotherapy skills in the management of pain through injury with all of my patients.

I am multi-lingual and able to give treatments in German, English and Spanish.

You will find me at Manantia –International Wellness Center in Torrox Costa.

Av. Garcia Peñalver (Av. del Faro) Blq. 76 Bajo 6, 29793 Torrox Costa (Málaga)

For more information about our treatments at Manantia or to request an appointment: Call +34 648517092 or 951774819.

Recommendation- Irrigation System

We have just had a new irrigation system fitted by Scott Wilson and his Spanish assistant Jose, at our campo house near Sayalonga.

The water pressure here has never been good and the original system was poorly installed..

Scott and Jose arrived on time and after discussing the work again realised that they needed some extra fittings, which we had not made clear when they viewed the work. This was no problem, they went off and quickly returned with the extras. The work was finished by 4pm and when tested it worked like a dream, which it never ever did before.

Scott and Jose are part of a team of General Builders who have done work for us before, they are thorough, tidy, professional and clear up after finishing the work.

You can contact Scott Wilson by mobile 622938440

Recommendation Waynes Drains

Last year Waynes Drains installed a new Septic Tank for us and what a great job they did.  As it is close to our parking area we put up a big lamp to protect the cap. Unfortunately the lamp was knock and the septic tank cap crushed by a wayward parker.

We emailed Waynes Drain and they came and put on a new cap.

When we asked what do we owe you…’Nothing’ was the reply ‘it’s all part of the service’.  What a wonderful Waynes Drains.

Concert on Playazo Plaza – Torrent of Complaints –

This is one of the least unpleasant & non offensive and it is certainly the very, very last email I shall publish      Subject Closed!  Editor

I presume the writer of the complaint about the Playazo beach party was referring to San Juan which happens each year (and on most beaches) on the 23 June. I’m afraid that’s just something that occurs here, especially in summer months. Apart from the usual ferias and fiestas, there are additional beach parties too. One year the music was so loud from the Torre del Mar Beach Festival in July we had to move out of our home in Torrox which isn’t even in view of the area, but the bass was bouncing off the hillsides (this year it’s been extended so is 4 nights, until about 8am the next morning, 5-8th).  No town or village is free from noise of their ferias and fiestas which go on all night long, but they seem to attract a lot of visitors and bring in income to the area. The rules for music levels in bars and clubs does not seem to apply to the local traditional fiestas.

Putting it politely, I think if the writer goes to the Ayuntamiento and asks for a rates’ rebate due to the noise, I think they would have a good laugh about it…. this is the way Spain is!

 

 

Hacked Mobile

It appears my mobile (Movistar) has been hacked.  I received, as is normal, a text notification to say I had less than 2 euro on 23/6 at 12.38.

At 13.06, on that day,  I topped up with 10 euros bringing my balance to 11,62. During the night I received 2 notification texts simultaneously at 00.29 (24/6)one stating less than 3 euros and the other less than 2 euros, I then received a text notification that I had zero balance….I had only made 3 texts and 3 short local phone calls on the 23rd.

At 12.48 on 25/6 I topped up with only 5 euros as I thought something strange was going on…….at 13.18, exactly 30 minutes later I again received 2 notification texts simultaneously stating I had less than 3 euros and less than 2 euros.  I hadn’t used my phone.

If anyone has experienced this and can share how this can be rectified I would be grateful.  I have had my number for 13 years and as you can imagine the inconvenience it would cause to have to have it changed especially as I do not have a land-line.

El Playazo concert

I am seeking an answer to some questions.   Last night and this morning we in this area were subjected to another “concert”, it finished spot on time at 5 a.m.  However I am hoping that someone somewhere can explain why during the early evening the music could be heard but was not imposing upon one’s life, but around the time when most people have decided to climb into bed the volume is turned up, to deafening levels.   Nerja council banned music in the Burriana Beach area because of complaints from residents.   In most cases there the music was around before the apartments were built…………in our case it would appear to be a reverse situation.

Do the organisers of this event live in this area?    I doubt it.

Why should residents in a quiet area be subjected to such inconsiderate treatment…………..?

I have been told that this event might occur again later this year – how do we stop it happening……?

Are we entitled to a rates reduction because of noise levels outwith our control……….?

Why is no consideration given to the clients of the Marinas de Nerja hotel………..?

This is not a good advertisement for Nerja – think about it seriously Town Hall.

Recommendation- Airport Transport

If you need an airport transfer the best firm you could use is Ferramar Taxis.  They charge a flat rate of 55 euro from Torrox Costa  to any point in Malaga, airport, port, RENFE or even in the centre of the city.  They are always on time (usually early) and the drivers speak some English. The lady in the office speaks good English.

The office is on the main road in Torrox Costa on that stretch between Aldi the shop that sells cushions.

Recommendation Needed – Car Insurance

Hi Digamites,

It’s that time of year for me where my car insurance is due for renewal and I am once again doing the rounds to see if I can get a better quote. I am at present with Linea Directa, whom I have been with for a few years and to be fair have been very good. Why change you may ask, well it’s always nice to to know what the other person has on offer. So I would be interested to hear of any recommendation for a car insurance, good or bad, that may be worth a phone call.

Thanks. Keith. email peakayone at msn dot com

Warning – Theft in Hospital

My wife is critically ill in Carlos Haya.

She left her only means of contact, her Smartphone, being charged by her bedside. About midnight an unseen thief entered her room, (with two ill patients) unplugged her mobile and stole it.

How anyone can steal from someone seriously ill is beyond me but slime comes in human form sometimes.

She is as much devastated by such callousness as her illness.

I wish to warn other seriously ill people of this possibility, in any hospital.

Please also pray for my beautiful, caring wife. Thank you. Tony Randall

Centipede Identified-

(1)

It´s a  Megarian Banded Centipede (Scolopendra cingulata – escolopendra), grows up to 15cm long and will give you a very nasty sting, so take care!

Brigit

(2)

The creature shown is a Scolopendra.

They have a nasty very painful bite and it is advised to go to the medical centre to have an injection, if you are bitten.  Small animals and children are particularly vulnerable.

Scolpendras are difficult to kill so make sure that you dispose of them ruthlessly.

They also seem to be able to survive for some time in pools, so do not be fooled into thinking they are dead, unless you are sure.

Patricia

(3)

The large Centipede referred to is commonly known as a Tiger Centipede and is found in North Africa and Southern Spain, is poisonous but not deadly.

Keep Dogs off it  !!

Mealy Bugs & Prickly Pears

We had  a number of infested prickly pears in our garden and found an extremely effective way of eradicating the pests-we dug up the plants and burnt them,(before the hot weather set in). Problem solved and we haven’t regretted the action-we can see prickly pears (covered in mealy bugs), along any public road or track we travel.

DoctorLaptop’s Tips #62

  1. KODI Problems? Many users are having problems with the new upgraded series 17 version of Kodi crashing. The designers, rather than fix it, are going to release a new version. Kodi 18 has already entered the public testing phase. If you have not upgraded from version 16, keep using it until it is announced that version 18 is stable at this Kodi info site https://kodi.tv/blog. But there are other Kodi problems to deal with. Due to a crackdown on video piracy many of the free Kodi IPTV plug-ins are no longer working and have shut down their websites; the remainder have become unreliable and may soon fold. The future of IPTV is either paid subscription services or using free .m3u files that must be updated every few days. The .m3u files provide a list of channels/networks from which to choose. Since it is easier to use .m3u files with VLC Player than with Kodi, and as many subscription services require their own software (Mobdro for example), the future of Kodi as a format for viewing free IPTV is in doubt. I suggest you either get a paid subscription to FilmOn, Mobdro (Android only), etc., or study up on using .m3u files. I can teach you to use .m3u files, and provide you the required tools, in a single €25 class.

  1. Beware Windows 10-S, a new version of Windows 10. It will soon be offered in budget priced computer models. This is Microsoft’s answer to the Google Chromebook. It has severe limitations. Windows 10-S will not allow you to install independent 3rd-party programs. Currently that means no Chrome, no Firefox, no iTunes, numerous games, etc. All software must be downloaded from a very limited selection at the Windows Store. The unchangeable default browser is Edge, and the forced search provider is Bing. Read more at: https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2017/05/02/windows-10s-windows-10-s-vs-windows-10-whats-the-difference/#3348d8621097
  2. The heat has returned and with it laptops will be running hot. In addition, many people now have duo-core and quad-core laptops; more processors means more heat generated. When temps rise above 28C it is advisable to take precautions. Place spacers beneath the laptop to allow air circulation, point a desk fan at your laptop, or use a “cooling tray”. Keep the air vents clean, an old toothbrush can be used for this. If your laptop shuts itself down from overheating, wait a half hour before restarting it to avoid damage. If a laptop is driven to shut itself down repeatedly from overheating the thermal paste on the processor may fail, the RAM can burn out or your hard disk can die. All are expensive repairs best avoided. A full fan and cooling system cleaning is part of my computer clean&tuneup maintenance service, something all laptops need at least annually.

Services Available- Skype Phone – problems

Many people all over the world are using Skype phones from different manufacturers.

Until recently problems have arisen with them, this is due

to Microsoft making them EOL [end of line] meaning

there is no support or firmware update for the phone.

The phones can make outgoing calls on a Skype In number but

anyone receiving a call will not hear the phone ring thus making a phone virtually useless.

It means either leaving a desktop computer or laptop on permanently so when someone calls it will ring on the computer but you can still pick up the phone to talk.

Microsoft want you to buy their products seeing as they own Skype.

The choice is yours on what to do.

Recommendation Cactus and Cochineal

I see that we are into the Cactus and Cochineal season again – those tiny white flies that breed on the cactus (chumbas) and then fly through normal mosquito nets.  (Mealy bugs don’t fly)  You may remember my little film from two years ago.
Cactus & Cochineal  https://youtu.be/rFWCK3U5NQE

Apart from cutting down these annoying cactus try my old favourite, a hand garden pressure sprayer loaded with a mix of Domestos bleach available from Torrox and Nerja Supersols.  I have no idea if is any good for the cactus but I don’t care since they too are rated a nuisance.  Chris B

 

 

Recommendation- English Speaking Spanish Lawyer for Ex-Pats

I had a very helpful and informative meeting with María Sanchez this morning, who specialises in advice for ex-pats.  Her firm is Cayet Abogados, Avda Condado de Huelva Nº9, Torre del Mar.  They are a multi-lingual firm with various offices in Spain and UK (their website is in six languages).

As well as their free initial consultation they are offering to review the escritura and IBI on any property you own – free of charge – to ensure that there are no potential future problems lurking that may only come to light after your death – but may be a huge headache for family members who inherit your property.

Beach -safety

(1)

We heard that there was a small notice in the ambulatoria warning people that the sea was not fit to swim in and you could be infected by ‘toxins’

No sign of these instructions anywhere else!
Robert

(2)

With reference to Patricia’s letter. I would like to add we have been coming to Torrox for about 10 years – using Penoncillo beach and each summer the sewage has drifted along. Mostly in the afternoons. Each year we are told that Nerja’s new sewage disposal plant will be finished but it never is.

It’s quite disgusting and puts visitors off going to the beach.

Something has to be done to alleviate this health hazard.
Jean

(3)

A slightly different take on recent correspondence.

Just remember that the fish and shellfish that are caught and eaten locally all live and eat in these waters.

Makes you think about becoming a Vegan, doesn’t it?

Pedro. Competa

Giant Centipede 

I wonder if any etymological Digamites can tell me the name of this 6inch centipede?

Seen on  the terrace in Torrox.

Cochineal flies/beetles ‘mealy bug’ infestation

(Response to previous item requesting  info)

Some information that some of you may find helpful.

We have just recently moved to Torrox Campo.  Within days of arriving for our first summer the house was filled, at night-time, with white ‘mealy bugs’ – with windows closed and screens in place. We checked the internet for information and there was a good deal to be found, especially previous posts here, at Digame.

We have a lot of prickly pears surrounding the house so we, with information to hand, began to power spray the plants with water, scrub them and we also sprayed soapy liquids – all to little effect.

We did however find a solution that some of you may be aware of. My partner used a butane, hand-held blow-torch just far enough away from the prickly pear to burn off the ‘mealy bugs’ without damaging the prickly pear too much.  We then went around all of the prickly pears and treated them in this way and the reduction in infestation was remarkable.  While this method has been incredibly successful for us we would advise caution.  The blow-torch should only be used where the area surrounding the prickly pear has been cleared of all dried garden matter – grasses, dead leaves etc.  A garden hose should also be kept handy should anything catch fire. It might even be an idea to hose down the surrounding area before using the blow-torch

We would much rather have left the ‘mealy bugs’ alone but the level of infestation meant that it just wasn’t an option.

Services Needed-Competa Police Station Hours of Work

Can anyone enlighten me as to the opening hours of Competa police station please?

On 4 separate occasions,in normal hours, i have travelled from the campo to the station to take in important papers and collect information from the desk and each time they have been closed. I find this dismaying for residents to say the least and particularly at this time of year,when there is also a general influx of tourists to the village and surroundings.

Nerja Beaches

(1)

The problem is not with holes in the pipe-line. It is simply the fact that raw sewage is pumped out to sea and this is then washed backed to the shore by the tides. The authorities say that the force of the waves etc should break up the sewage but that doesn´t stop us frequently having filthy water. It is also affecting other beaches along the coast.

I am a beach person and I do check before I go in the water BUT I do not go in above my neck. Also I only use a beach that has showers so I can rinse off straight away and then have a good shower when I get home.

pete 69 red at hotmail dot com

This has been a problem for many, many years and is already well known by Nerja’s visitors. Google ‘Nerja sea pollution’ and there are articles going back years from sites like Trip advisor, (the US and New Zealand versions as well) that talk about the state of the sea. The authorities are well aware of it and the possible damage to the tourist industry, but have not exactly rushed to build a water treatment works.

Recommendation- for Band Hire

Sol Souvenir is an acoustic duo, both play guitar and sing. I first saw them last year, at Cochran’s Irish Bar, playing to a packed house. One of the best gigs I attended in 2016. Now they are back in the area after a Winter away. I saw them recently at Busker’s Bar, Nerja. Another excellent gig.

I would highly recommend them if you are seeking some live entertainment for almost any type of event. Very reasonable rates. Perfect for weddings, reunions, parties, bar gigs, etc. Still young enough to exude boundless musical excitement, they are none-the-less both polished musicians and vocalists. They bring a small but strong, high quality PA system. They don’t require much space to set-up.

They have a long playlist covering Rock, Folk, Blues, Pop Classics. They are native Spanish speaking, but speak and sing in English. They do not use backing tracks. They do not use pitch correction. They do sing from the heart, and each show is unique, tailored to the situation.

Email them for pics, rates or more info:

Looking for recommendations for car valeting, inside and out.

Around the Sayalonga area, so Algarobbo to Competa. I recall services mentioned in the recent past but there no longer seems to be a searchable archive.

I may of course be being stupid but I can only seem to search each daily blog individually, and the old digame archive although searchable and categorized is well out of date.
recommendations to bob @ extralan.co.uk

(Searching Digamextra: Simply enter “digamextra + car valet” into Google or Bing search page. You will get a list of results in chronological order. Hint: look at DigameXtra issue #610, Fri., 02June 2017 for the most recent car valet recommendation.)
