I'm not exaggerating when I say this but there really are hundreds of mobile phone covers at this…read moreshop. There are so many to choose from and they are at reasonable prices as well. I was surprised by how big the store was and the number of phone accessories available to buy from here. You can get your phones unlocked and repaired. Phone chargers, calling cards and other phone accessories can be found at this shop. I'm not entirely sure if I would come back but you certainly are spoilt for choice when it comes to looking for phone covers. There were one or two covers that I was tempted to purchase but in the end I didn't. If you are a local and are living in Hockley or the Birmingham area, you might want to come here if you are looking for phone accessories. Prices are not too bad and the products available to buy are at affordable prices.

Matrix Reloaded used to be called Matrix ( not sure if it was extended to communication) the…read moreprevious management really had a bad press not surprising due to its dreadful customer service. I once required a swipe card and kept on going there to have one after purchasing a mobile phone from there but they kept making excuses to give one, but eventually on another occasion gave one. Unfortunately it was a bad one that needed to be swiped like 5 times for it to function or more painfully for the shop keepers to type in the digits onto their system. It got raided by the police force once for having illegal machines to unblock fones and was shut down for some time. I have checked out an article about it on the bbc website aswel to confirm. Lets hope the reloaded management keep a good reputation and maybe one day call themselves Matrix revolutions. We will wait and see! NB this is not the correct post code for the business but the map location is about right. The post code is B8 nonetheless.

It's quite a decent shop to be fair and they have what you need in there for most phone extras. It's a decent size store so it has a fairly good number of items for sale and the great thing is that their prices are really competitive. I last went in this shop to have a look at their range of iPhone cases for my iPhone 4s. They didn't have what I was looking for at the time but I did get a chance to have a look at what other bits and bobs they have in there. They are pretty well stocked up on mobile phone sim cards, so if you're ever looking to purchase a new sim card for your phone for a cheap price; try looking in Revive. It's also a convenient store because it's located near to the main town centre; so it's not a difficult place to find. What's also good is that the staff in Revivie know about mobile phones and electronic items that they can offer you a hand if you are having problems looking for what you want.

The red and white medical themed store front of Mobile Fone Hospital has a sharp look and makes for…read morean eye catching presence in the multi coloured retail riot of Ladypool Road. A possible future gimmick for the Mobile Fone Hospital might be to continue the medical theme to dizzying heights with the staff dressed up as doctors and nurses in medical gear performing mock operations on mobile phones and mobile phone accessories. Sadly this probably isn't going to happen soon but I am happy to report that the Mobile Fone Hospital offer a good service in repairing phones, selling second hand phones and phone accessories. There's a lot of similar businesses to this in the Ladypool Road area - this one's a little smarter than most and have always given me good service whenever I've been in. You might be able to get a cheaper price somewhere else but with things like this you want someone you can trust and I trust these guys. Recommended.

This is another phone store where you can get your mobiles unlocked or repaired. Phone accessories can be purchased along with new and used mobile phones. International calling cards can be brought from Fonez Direct since the shop has links with Lebara. The new mobiles on offer are pretty good and the used mobiles on display are not bad either. Maybe this is a place where you can buy decent phones from. Apart from the phone network stores, there haven't been any other places where I have seen a phone and want to buy it. In this store I have to say there were one or two phones I was tempted to buy. But in the end I didn't. However I was still impressed with the phones on offer here and the staff do know their products inside out. They are there to help.

The phone I owned had a very basic black and white LCD screen, nothing like today's phones that come equipped with pretty much everything. With the advent of SMS, MMS and face time, phones today have become like mini laptops. People invest hundreds in Smart Phones, phones that have the capability to go online, do your shopping, change your life etc. This shop caters for mobile phones. They sell phones, international calling cards and mobile phone accessories. They also have trained staff that can unblock your phone if it is stuck on a certain network. The problem is that too many off these shops are on our high streets. It would be ok if just a few of them existed, but this is just like the next one and the next one and the next one. I'm already starting to get bored.
