Being a previous Orange customer and reading this post is kinda like hearing that your ex-girlfriend has become a crack addict: A feeling of pity and smugness mixed together.

Yep, but if you heard she was willing to put out again big style in a particularly filthy way, you'd still go back

QUOTE(Confucious @ May 7 2008, 12:57)  That's better - but 250Mb is still not enough and still doesn't help with this messenger business! Oh come off it, don;t even try and defend orange. £8 for 250MB? I can see the smirks on T-Mobile faces from here! |

And Vodafone's - but it's still better than the 30Mb they were offering! Not that they offer this to everyone by the sound of things...

Yep, they wont offer it to me. I'm just decided whether to move in July to a Diamond with tmobile or wait until the x1 comes out.

I Guess that i am the only person here who is baffled that any serious win mo user is still on orange!
i left when they asked for 300 plus for a universal on 50 per month tarrif! i went to tmob and got it for 20 quid. same tarrif, as someone said, the e200 days were good. but even then we were restricted to smartphones, o2 had the ppcs back then. for me, orange suck big time, i think paul starting modaco helped them to have good retention figures for win mobile users in the past as we were all jumping at their new devices. i seriously cannot think of any reason> why i would go back to them. ps fring mssenger is the best, it works with msn and lets u have voip through msn! and it beams it to my motorolla s9 bt headset. works with skype (voip too) and icq and google chat. tmob web and walk and fring it is seriously a no brainer unless u are on orange payroll! |

I dumped Orange after many years when they told me that yes, I could use data on a trip to Paris, but it would be 25 pounds/MB! On Orange France....
they've not so much dropped the ball, as sent it off to a 419-er... |

The 250meg tariff is only available on one plan, I think its something like the £45+ p/m panther? It isn't available on others. Still, the (truly pathetic) 30 meg is adequate for me - its enough for a month of MSN, Facebook and the odd other web page when I'm nowhere near a computer. |

Everyone Bashes Orange on these forums, but i still stick by them, and they seem to be providing me with decent enough plans. I go through retentions each time i come up for renewal, and always get the phone i want. They talk me through my bills and usage and provide me with a plan
Currently with Orange, I have an HTC TYTN II on a custom plan I negotiated at upgrade time through retentions. (I have a 10% loyalty discount on my account too) I pay £30.64 for my plan + 5 quid on insurance. In that plan i get: ------------------------------------- 1000 anytime cross network minutes 250 Text messages ------------------------------------- +10Mb of data per day for and extra £6.81 a month +£1.28 for itemised billing (?) So that works out as under £44 before VAT How does this stack up against other plans available on other networks. |

I pay £20.51 for Flext35 (up to 900 mins or 900 MMS or 1800 texts or any combination) and 3Gb data a month

It looks like the people at coolsmartphone are upset at orange as well - by the looking at the forum links you'll see that most of them are planning to leave orange as well.

I originally got Flext35 with W'n'W std when they offered it with 25% off for life. I upgraded to W'n'W Plus and kept the 25% discount. At the end of my 18 months the offered me a new phone or another £15/month off my bill.
It's not a deal many people can get but I'm very happy with it

You might find that with a newer handset you get a better signal on another network. Maybe take advantage of T-Mobile's 14 day return policy and try them (or another network if they do the same thing)?

Yeah, for me going through to Orange retentions seems the best option For £25 I get 150m any network/time and 850 texts I then pay £8 for 250mb of data ....for that contract - I managed to get a free Samsung i780. Its 18m contract but in 15m they waive the upgrade fee - so can upgrade then. No doubt there are better value plans out there - but for my usage this fits perfectly.

My contract ends October and I'm leaving Orange. 14 years I've been with them and their customer services have been rubbish.
