I’ve just finally been able to activate that spare SIM card that I bought months ago.

The person I spoke – Iman – with sounded like the woman in the flat below me.

I am always buying new phones and other stuff and getting new SIM cards in an attempt to stay ahead of the relentless hacking.

Cash Converters used to think that I was constantly impulse-buying new stuff, such as that UPS before I discovered that my locks had already been getting picked for years. They had a bigger model, by the way, but it weighed too much for me.
