    Reading this sounds like, the phone went in under warranty for repair, but repair has been rejected and you are now out of warranty?

    Not much you can do I would say. If they say the sims are faulty, you could ask for replacement sim cards from the networks to try out. Are both sims faulty, that would be a coincidence but if you are swapping them in and out, they could well become damaged.

    In that case, you might better going to the manufacturer direct to get it repaired (if it is faulty).
    What the people you sent to might be saying is that the particular repair needed is not covered by warranty.
    But by sounds of it, if its signal issue, then it might just be o2 have no reception in your mother's area.

    Its what the LG leaflet says that is important or at least correct. 1 year is what I would expect - anything more would have to be covered by getting insurance I think or extended warranty.

    You can check LG web site for sure http://www.lg.com/uk/support/index.jsp
