Guest spvdreamer Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leaskovski Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Damn them!!! Its not allowing it through on upgrades via the web or via 150!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest w411y Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Griff_FFOC Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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".

Guest GrahamMW Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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??

Guest MarkH Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you don't pay enough, otherwsie they ask you to close the door on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tech Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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"...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sporkguy Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sarek Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gnoonan Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 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?

Guest sarek Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 So how much memory is being shipped with the C600 just now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iflya Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 The Wolverhampton Orange shop Lady has assured me that the C600 has been released, that she has had an email saying this, doesnt have the pricing matrix yet, but will be trying every day to pre order them, and will call me when she manages to do that ... but stock may not arrive until the first week in January ... Occasionally you come across the odd person who still has the service standards Orange Used to have... (just need to make sure that she follows up what she said she will do!) I get the feeling that Orange are aware of the slight discontent of some of its out of contract customers, hence the 10% discount thing they are offering. Orange please take note ... I am out of contract. I have no outstanding balance (in fact im in credit!!) The only thing keeping me at OrangeUK is the potential upgrade to the C600 for free, and that its an arse having to move my number. If it costs me more to upgrade to the C600, i will put that money to good use by moving to O2 and get myself that (slightly ugly) SP5 i was thinking about. I hope that makes it clear, and i think there may well be lots of other people in this situation waiting for the C600 E : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
