Now available from Orange online shop!!! But, having waited 3 months to get my hands one, and forced to jump onto a new O2 12 month contract, it's not available on PAYG. I could happily punch someone :evil:

I've just swapped to tmobile and the vario as the end of last week they told me there was still no set date for the c600.
They really do need to sort out their internal communications. -------------------- Smartphone and PocketPC History

Its saying available as pay monthly but doesnt appear on upgrade phones :?:
One thing I did notice aswell is that the M1500 is on pay monthly and upgrade, used to only be on the business site -------------------- |

To buy online looks as though it's free phone on all tarifs too.
There might be hope for my free upgrade in January yet.  If not it's a cancel and new contract I think, especially if they won't give the same as one of their new "direct plans". |

If they say you have to pay for an upgrade, threaten to leave Orange - they normally then offer the upgrade for free. |

I rang this morning to upgrade and was told that they have no idea about it. I mentioned that how come it was available for business contracts and the lady replied that didn't have any info on that. Why are they so useless??

I phoned earlier and was told it's not on their system yet (even though it's on the website) and if i want an upgrade, perhaps i should go to an orange shop....

This is rubbish I phoned them as Ive been waiting my upgrade since 21 sept They only found out about the C600 beening released today from me. They didnt even know it was released on the web. What sort of mickey mouse company is Orange? I told the women on the phone if they wanted to know anything else about their product range to call me, as I know more about the phone releases than Orange CS.... JOKE TOTAL JOKE p.s the upgrade to the C600 isnt coming soon so she said. So could be here right now..... -------------------- |

ive given up on orange and never renewed my first contract of 2... i think everyone knows how much i have been "bitching" about the C600 and orange.
Been waiting for 4 months now "oh its released, oh wait its not, oh we dont know, oh its in review, oh its released"...... -------------------- http://www.spapps.co.uk

The C600 isn't available in our shops yet, as a business store we tend to get the phones before most normal orange shops.
I'll post here as soon as I get delivery of them, and the pricing matrix for it (which should be emailed to us by the morning). --------------------   |

Lol. Just.... Lol.
I only just found out about this phone last night (been painting the rock i stay under) and then I read it's being delayed all the time. so i get excited then disappointed all in one night. now the very next day i hear it's been released? awesome. and in regards to the contract - i will be cancelling the one i have just now and taking out a new one anyway. i currently have 3k texts for £25 p/m but no voice minutes so instead of upgrade i'm just gonna start again. my contract runs out on the 21st of january, not too far from yours jporch316 |

If you are out of contract then remind them there is nothing to keep you with them. If they force you to go as far as getting a PAC code then email them back with a proposal.
1. Treat you like any other new customer to their network. 2. You leave. Port the PAC to someone else on PAYG and you are then a new customer to Orange if you really do want that handset. Use google to fish out some executives names and then CC them if you are getting stonewalled by the upgrade people and your intelligence and patience has been pushed to the edge. I can really understand what some people feel who get messed about. I had them try and defend their right to charge me £45 a month during which they subsidised my fine Nokia 3310 for 3 years. £199 upgrade to what a new customer got for free! A fine example of a great way to get an out of contract person to leave. Didn't the banks get in trouble for this type of pricing on home loans? |
