I'm glad I don't inhabit Sim Tech World, and instead lead a rustic existence, but I have had reason of late to thank my lucky stars that shops like Sim Tech World exist. Like so many before me, I managed to drop my iPhone several times before the screen ultimately smashed. It was of course, only a matter of time before this was inevitably going to happen... but did I think to take out insurance to protect myself in this eventuality? Well, yes I did... But whether I got round to actually doing it is an entirely different matter! So, with the exorbitant cost of getting Apple to fix it for me, I began a quest that lasted well over a month to find a indie mobile phone shop like Sim Tech World that would do it cheaper. It ultimately cost a staggering £80.00 to get the screen replaced, but I had, in the meantime, damaged the LCD screen, making the job more expensive, (well, it was actually my neighbours cat jumping directly onto the broken screen in an attempt to catch a moth that put paid to the LCD screen in reality...) I didn't end up using Sim Tech World, but it certainly made me aware of their existence. They are seemingly a tight little business, that specialises in mobiles and home computing, including PC and Apple laptops, games consoles etc, as well as digital cameras; essentially all of your portable electronics that you can bring into the shop for attention, (thy don't do home visits). They also call themselves an 'entertainment exchange', which, as the name suggests, means that they sell second user kit as well. read more

Sim-Tek World - IT Services & Computer Repair Near Me - Cardiff, CRF

Sim-Tek World is perhaps one of the most sheekest and efficient mobile shops around in Cardiff. They have recently redecorated and have given it a very unique classy touch. They offer fantastic deals and to be honest their prices are far cheaper than other mobile repair shops around. They mabnaged to fix my phone under 10 minutes and offered to do my laptop as well in no time at all. Their technical staff no doubt know what they are talking about and what they are doing as I went to other places where they were telling me i simply needed a new phone whereas Sim Tek replaced a few bits and pieces and voila! job was done and they saved me so much money at that. Hard to find an honest business that really does give attention to customer care and has their customers interest at heart rather than their own tills filling up. I would recommend Sim-Tek to anyone who needs their technical gear fixed in no time at all. Its in the heart of the buzz of Albany Road and so close to town. I wouldn't go anywhere else after finding this hidden gem! read more

My QWERTY keyboard on my Nokia C-6 had broken. I was advised by Vodafone that they would have to send away for 7-10 days, which I didn't like. I was also advised by another repairers that it may cost about £80 to fix. I decided to buy the part myself and after finding them on Google, took it into Sim Tek, who fitted it at a fraction of the cost and within 2 hours. Service at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the time means that they are better by half. read more

Brought a phone in for repair - quoted £25 for the replacement of on/off switch - when went to collect phone it was on but switch did not turn off phone!! When questioned as to why not told basically its on now to switch off you need to take battery out - - not exactly a repair is it - told if I leave phone they could fix it - but why not do job correctly first time as they said they would? If you go there be wary and ask exactly what they are going to do so to avoid disappointment with quality of work. Its a good job I dont run my business in this way. read more
