Guest M@rkC Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 My M5000 had a USIM but I had to hunt for in through all the manuals etc... lovely bit of kit...have to wait till later to play though <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mine arrived about ten minutes ago.....it's lovely - and kinda charcoal grey...the pictures I've seen so far led me to believe it was gonna be silver - not that I'm complaining, I prefer this to a silver one any day!!! Mine came with a USIM, but only one battery :cry: - where does it say it comes with two??? Don't wanna phone OCS and have a rant if the second battery is only for business users or something :oops: Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airborne Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Orange are doing 1000mb a month for £10.00 first three months free. Thats going to cost me £23.00 for 750 mins off peak to landlines and 1000mb of data. Not bad. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :shock: I was told *twice* that I would be getting the 1000Mb per month for free for the next 3 months! Either I've done well (cos they make loads of money out of me!) or I've been mis-sold and I'll be £30 out of pocket. :?: My M5000 should be arriving tomorrow. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil - if you check gcarte's previous posts you will see that his was an upgrade and not business - so I guess the answer is yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dazza12 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 If they've stated on an Orange website that it is supplied with an additional battery, they have to honour that. If not they are not supplying a product as advertised. They may try to get out of it by stating that because it mentions that it is a business phone it only applies to business customers. However, it doesn't specifically state that the additional battery is only for business customers. I would recommend contacting Orange if you feel you should have this second battery and mentioning the above. If you don't get any joy, complain. I'm sure Orange would rather send out something that costs them £10 than lose a customer that's going to bring them hundreds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 dazza - it does say it's a Business phone so if you're not a business user they don't have to honour it. It also says on their website that to access 3G all you have to do is buy a 3G phone. This is a blatant lie as I have bought a 3G phone (not from O) and it will not work without a USIM and they will NOT swap my SIM for a USIM - they say I have to take out a new contract so I'm still trying to decide who the best 3G provider is for me.

Guest dazza12 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 You could argue however that the same website doesn't show the consumer package. The Orange.co.uk page for the M5000 is very sparse and doesn't have any conflicting details (at least not the last time I looked). It's an argument that Orange would be unwise to take on for the sake of a £10 battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Orange don't have to take on an argument - it's up to you to argue to get it. They don't seem to care if people leave. But in fairness to O, they do seem to be sending out batteries to people who ask anyway judging by the posts in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eggedd2k Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 collecting mine tonight after work. they're in stock at the shop near home. at last!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dazza12 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Is that how much it would cost then? £10? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's just a guesstimate. Orange would be able to buy in bulk and therefore get a much lower price than you or I would get. I don't know the retail price of an M5000 battery, but I guess it's not going to cost Orange much more than £10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
