I tried that yesterday but it only made the girl a bit stroppy that I was telling her her job (and I did it very very politely - I work in the same environment remember). Unfortunately they will go down the route of unlock code first before trying a new SIM. This could go on for weeks. That's why I'd really appreciate someone from VM pulling the case for me....

I was in one of the other VM stores on Saturday and explained the problem. The chap immediately said ' new SIM needed'. I asked if he could give me a new SIM there and then and get customer services to swap the number over. 'No we can't do that' he replied. I was so frustrated I could have cried I actually got the impression they were enjoying my frustration and my wife was livid!
