Great Experience!!
Through out our continuing travels through Europe, my iPhone 5 was getting finicky about getting charged. If I played with the cord enough I could get it to start charging. Well, yesterday it wouldn't charge at all. Faced with leaving on a cruise ship, today, I was really stressing as it's our only phone as Tk's was destroyed in an unfortunate washing machine instance in England last month.
I searched Barcelona Mobile Repair online and found several around the city, with Recambios Movil being closest to our apartment. I walked over to the address only to find a closed restaurant and a hair salon. I called the number with an almost dead battery, and through enough English discovered they were inside the building on an upper floor, suite #13.
After buzzing the intercom, I was warmly greeted by a very attractive young couple. The guy spoke better English so I told him what the problem was. He quoted me $55 euro, in England I had been quoted $100 pounds! I agreed and pulled out my wallet. He said no, I didn't pay unless he fixed the phone. Very unusual. He said wait 20 minutes and in 15 he came out and had me plug my cable in and viola, it started charging!
I took out my wallet half expecting him to start the old "it's going to cost a little more because..." routine but no, $54.90 euro to be exact! read more
