Guest Bazz Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 OK getting bored of this and we are all speculating anyway, but here are my final words on this subject - unless someone baits me and I just can't stop myself ;-) As well as the megabyte cap thing, it seems to me that people are reading the phrase "equal or lower priced" differently: I'm reading this as "equal (priced) or lower priced" i.e. £6 or less no matter what limit that includes (i.e. not equal value, but equal priced). Others are reading this as "equal (tarif) or lower priced (tarif)" i.e. £6 for a tenner. I say just wait and see, Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kal-el Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 According to my latest intel. there is no new special bundle in the pipeline. As far as is known so far is that it will be a standard GPRS bundle, currently we are advising all customers that they will be automatically moved to bundle 2.

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 2meg will do me nicely for e-mail. sTill a bit overpriced imho :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HelloDave Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 At least GPRS is cheaper than it was - it's a step in the right direction I suppose! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 All *non-SPV* GPRS customers on the old tarriffs will be automatically "migrated" to the new (lower) prices... sometime in MAY. In the meanwhile, if they NOTICE that they're on a tariff that's twice as high as the new one, they can switch if they want. Otherwise, "well, you shoulda read the small print".

Guest HelloDave Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Tight B****rds! Anyone here a journalist that would like to write an "informative article" to users explaining how they could save money on their current Orange GPRS bill :wink: Something for the news section Paul? Orange deserve it for shady tactics like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gorskar Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Somewhat harsh for those poor customers who never bother orange CS or look at the website to be left in the lurch till may methinks, although I guess its a consequence of having the investigative ability of a dead cockroach. Still harsh though... Incedentally is there any chance that we could get that free 60 text message bundle thats being advertised now on talktime 200+ or is that only for new tariffs? (Just so that you can't accuse me of having no investigative ability myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kal-el Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Sorry mate, new connections on talk 120 or above only! U could switch to O2 200 - OVP, that has 50 free txt wiv it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bdmoore Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 I'm on the OVP O2 100 tariff - £25pm with 100 txts included so it's not too bad. I think there's also an equivalent of the O2 offpeak 500 - £20pm, also with 100 txts. Neither are a match for my old tariff (O2 online - £20pm with 500 txts!!), which Orange won't match 'cos it's an internet only one!! Oh well, at least I can play Doom on my phone now... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still harsh though... My thoughts exactly. If Orange were half as good at phones as they are at writing get-outs into the small print, the SPV would incorporate a photocopier and coffee maker. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spv_user Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 It's all about bussines and making money on 156 the guy told me that he thinks there will be a rethink ? I said when he said in his view when most spv customers cancel the gprs. as a lot will but only if to make a point ! the consumer will provail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest strathclydezero Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 I was told by 156 today that we can expect some way of monitoring GPRS access on the phone my the time the unmetered deal ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pete1312 Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 In that case, I guess "Traffic Counter" is a total waste of cash! I havn't purchased yet, and won't do till after 30/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Ron - No Longer a Mem Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 "I was told by 156 today that we can expect some way of monitoring GPRS access on the phone my the time the unmetered deal ends." Speculation. There's no way anyone on 156 has that kind of information. They find out about things AFTERWARDS, seldom before the event. Good attitude, but the guy (or girl) had better watch out that he or she isn't caught proferring "unofficial" opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest strathclydezero Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 I don't see why we should be paying for something to monitor something that we're already paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 150 option 1 type system being developed at the moment ready to be implemented at the end of April - tho it could be April 04!!! Perhaps the 156 operator was informed by someone who was privi to that sort of information. Excelling further than the average 156 operator? Either way, there is a way of monitoring GPRS usage in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest one.ear Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Orange do have plans to introduce a GPRS "bundled mins line" (except obviously it will be a bundled mb line) and also a Text "bundled min line" (except etc). Although when, no-one knows. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
