Guest glossywhite Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Apparently, according to the manager of my local Orange retail store, the price of the Orange Monte Carlo will drop to £119, at least for tomorrow anyway. I've known this guy years (since he was working at "Tandy" - shows HOW long!) and I trust his word. He said they were busy printing out fliers to promote this price drop... So go and take a look at YOUR local Orange retail! [EDIT] Just spoke to my local Orange shop again, and this is a promotion for THIS WEEKEND ONLY... so better snap one up fast! [EDIT AGAIN] It would appear that the new, lower price of £119 has been extended past the weekend promotional period. Interesting...

My friend, you have maybe assumed, wrongly, that just because an 0870 number is free for you, that this will be the case for anyone calling it, or any other 0870 number. If they're free, then that's great for you, but 0870 is well known to be of the "national rate" tariff, and not free. I understand you are being helpful, but 0870 numbers are not classed as free, no matter what anyone may say. Besides, why would you risk it, when there are myriad other FREEFONE 0800 numbers for Orange, and also: http://saynoto0870.com Thank you.

(i guess not). i actually own the phone & know the number is free it says so in the manual. i think you have assumed wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i guess not). i actually own the phone & know the number is free it says so in the manual. i think you have assumed wrongly. Why would you assume people who want to find out the price of an Orange product, have already purchased it, or are already ON Orange? Why would I be calling them to ask them the price of the OMC, had I already bought it? :-/ You are assuming everyone is already WITH Orange, which is one bold assumption. Anyhow, we're wasting time here, and evidently this is quite a circular debate. 0800 = free 0870 = not free Known fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
