Finally called Orange for my PAC today, paid off the remainder of my contract... and am a very happy FlexT 35 + WnW user, just can't believe how good value the tariff is.

Combined with a 3G Data Card bought on eBay and a SIM only + WnW, i'm a very very happy camper!

This is so odd. My friend recently made some noise about leaving orange, to which they offered him cash + a new handset to stay.
When I spoke to them they didn't care either way.

Waiting for the Vario 2, then I'm out too.

been with o since 95 & went to tmob in november of last year as i had just upgraded in shop with o but the hand set was rubbish & o didn't want to know.

cancelled my contract tonight with o as i have 4 months to run & the lady asked me why , i gave my reasons & they disconnected me there & then ,no waiting tilll my next billing period.

is it any wonder people are leaving when its quite clear that o don't give a stuff.


the future is bright..the future is tmob !!!!!!

Quite unintentional mate, I assure you. Maybe if you hadn't had "phone trainer" logos splashed all over the place...?
Like you say, onto bigger and better things with T-Mobile :)

I can see this thread in a years time whos left T-mobile for orange , WHY  you may be asking well we have the wonderfull internet option that you have BUT now they are restrichting the types of sites you can visit , no msn and only .nl sites only , and data limits are here as well, originally it was no data limits , every month something gets taken away , they seem to only want to build up a customer base and then let um down , the internet is only usefull now if you have a laptop at mc donalds , well for the hour limit that is  :) enjoy it while you can guys  :)

If they try that stuff they'll be substantially changing the service offered and we should be able to get out of our contracts quite easily.

Nice idea. But they'll do it slowly-gently-catchy-monkey so that no-one notices it happening. Just look at how much O have changed over a period of time. None of us would feel able to shout 'breach of contract' because it all went by (almost) un-noticed.

I've switched to Tmob couple of months ago aswell. must be honest and have to say beter reception cheaper GPRS.  I liked orange. never had trouble with them, but it was getting to expensive for me.

peekie? what are you talking about? I just visited some .com's without problems. Haven't had a message from Tmob to say things have changed either.

so as far as I know things haven't changed.

i just have an insider at t-mobile , the network cannot handle the data which is used , if there are a flood of sms messages , like during the world cup the gprs service is reduced as there is more money in sms than internet. depending on which part of holland you live in there is a difference in service , i have seen how slow the gprs goes ( 10 minutes to connect to modaco during the day ) the problem for t-mobile here is the internet is more popular than the network can handle its only a matter of time till the price rises to pay for the extra costs or they end it.

they would probably do the same as orange have . orange world for old customers 2mb new customers 25mb both cost the same 6 euros. in the case of t-mobile it is easy when the contract ends they can remove the internet option and they do have the right to up the price if they choose to during the contract as long as they inform you first and give the option to end the internet , but as t-mobile nl need more customers being in 4th place in the mobile wars they might hang on with the losses to get the numbers :)

if T-mob is wise they would hang on with putting it through. because the Vario and the internet package have earnt them boatloads of costumers. taking away the thing people came to t-mob for would result in people leaving them when contract ends. (not good for buisness) that's the way I think. Only reason I switched to t-mob was for the internet.

we'll see.. Orange just merged with Wanadoo... so that must result in some good internet thingy. maybe they'll have me back in december.
