I resolved the problem by buying a new, cheap phone (€32.99) I actually topped up the phone to make sure it was still active (that works to activate it and I knew the call I needed to make would be expensive).

Again I am posting this here as there does not seem to be a mobile phone forum. I am British but living in Croatia. I still have a property and income from UK. I have a Samsung A50 phone which I bought secondhand. I'm not sure if it is related to the current problem but a few months ago I did a...

It is the ZVB 16 and my manual says it is on the hot side. Also the back panel says hot water:

I have a Centrometal pellet burning central heating boiler. It works much like a combi and has a built in pump. I bought it secondhand and it works OK but the furthest rads stay cold. The same rads worked OK with the previous log fired boiler so I thought there might be a problem with the pump...

My roof has always leaked in certain types of weather. My theory was that part of the roof had too shallow a pitch for the clay tiles that were used. I knew that tin could be used for lower pitched roofs so I replaced the tiles with metal profile, in 4 metre lengths. Not sure if I should have...

I just did a search for this topic on YouTube and every result was the opposite of what I need! I live in a rural area with no mobile phone signal but I do have internet via a series of wifi links. I understand that certain sim cards can be set up to link with the internet to provide phone calls...

Thanks, Mottie, I suppose it must be part of the Euro 6 regulations.

Wow, I didn't even know this technology existed in 2011! My 2020 Dacia Logan has this system but it seems to operate on a random basis and didn't do it at all the first time I drove it. I can't see a switch for turning it off and my owners manual is in Slovenian, which I don't speak.

I have a 2008 Chevrolet Spark which has started making a kind of roaring sound from the front of the car. I put it on axle stands, removed the front wheels and ran it in gear. The left hand hub was spinning normally but the right hand hub was mostly stopped, just jerking round a few degrees now...

I'm told wifi calling does not work on roaming. I think what I need is some kind of consultant who could come here, detect what signals there are and advise if boosting is viable and what frequency etc booster is needed.

Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes. I live in Croatia in a rural location with very weak mobile phone signal. I have received calls and text messages but it only works once in a blue moon. I have accepted this and always tell people to email rather than phone. It is now becoming...

An update on this. I submitted the inspection report as it was, together with various other documents to support my application for landlord registration renewal. Today I had an email saying the registration is approved. I don't know whether that means I will hear no more for another 3 years or...

I live in Croatia but own a small cottage in Scotland that I rent out. My Landlord Registration is due for renewal soon and I have to provide various documents including an electrical safety report. I got an electrician to inspect the property but he has found various defects. His estimate for...

Older dryers only ever had timers so I would just use it the old fashioned way. It could be a sensor or it could be a circuit board fault.

I have a Xerox 3117 laser printer which I bought secondhand but has always printed too faint. I saw a YouTube video about cleaning some internal mirrors. I tried that and it made a slight improvement but still not satisfactory. I just watched another video about refilling the toner cartridge...

I have a pellet fired boiler which operates at 1 bar system pressure. Future plans include having a solar panel for hot water so the system is filled with antifreeze inhibitor compatible with solar. That stuff is expensive so if I ever I need to drain the system I save it for re-use. I do have a...

The thing is I have literally got up in the night and set up the PC to stream the same radio programme and it works OK. At the time I also did a speed test but the phone one timed out without completing it. It had by then come up with a latency figure of 3828.5 ms. On the PC the same test gave a...

I live in a rural location and have always had sketchy internet, as it comes to my house via 7 wifi links, with trees and other obstacles to limit the signal strength. I don't sleep too well and often listen to BBC radio, streamed live to my phone. For the last week or so this has not worked...

I have had several woodburning stoves over the years but none of them have been new and none came with operating instructions. Some of them have a device that can partially restrict the flow of smoke from the stove to the flue. I've always assumed that was meant to be used in conjunction with an...

A better option would be a small garage consumer unit with separate MCBs for lights and sockets but what you propose would be OK.
