Orange Launch Trial of 3G Datacard

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

For some reason I never had anything listed, guess I'll just

stick with testing roms for them instead.

[Guest pisquee]

The email did say that it was on a first come first served basis, so if they are now not letting anyone else sign up, i guess if you already got in then you are in luck.

[Guest pisquee]

Have done some googling, but cannot find any info about what card this may actually be. Guess i am just impatient, but would like to know what this new toy will be. I will asume that it will do CSD and GPRS, but wil it do otheres like Wifi/BlueTooth.

[Guest neilg]

pretty sure there are only 2 cards available at the moment - Option (as on Vodafone and I think exclusively) and Novatel, both are 2.5/3G. Be intersting to see which as I already have one but not the other.....

[Guest Gorskar]

Probably not emailed to me as I still had Pembrokeshire as my address.

I've updated the profile, (Manchester) but is still not listing it in future trials.

And I've just ordered myself a beast of a new laptop - would have loved to try this out on it!

I've used it already :)

Very cool - especially for streaming video.

Posted from my SmartPhone!

[Guest pisquee]

you've used it already?

can you give us more details? ... ie - who makes the card, what model name?

does it also do GPRS/CSD what about WLAN and BT?

Dear Paul

Unfortunately the Mobile Office Card 3G Trial is now full, thank you

for your interest. I shall put you on the reserve list and notify you if

any space becomes available on the trial in the future.

Many Thanks

I wonder how long that reserve list is now :)

[Guest neilg]

did you get on the trial mono?

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Unfortunately not... :)

[Guest MARKUKCOUK]

anyone got their cards yet? I've not heard anything since, and the trials due to start in June isnt it?

[Guest chucky.egg]

Its still in "My Pending Trials" and I haven't had an email saying "Tough luck... LOSER!" so should I still expect to get one of these little cuties?

Somebody already has one, and I dont so I'm not happy OK?!

[Guest neilg]

same here I htink it kicks of on 29th May...

[Guest MARKUKCOUK]

I MIGHT email them and ask

[Guest neilg]

just checked my trials homepage. start date has been pushed back to 07 June by the looks of things....

[Guest pisquee]

OK, first questionnaire is out.

Any managed to open the "terms and conditions" document, as I cannot- error message saying the file is unavailable.

Have completed the questionnaire, it asks where your nearest town is - i move around a lot with work, but that wasn't an option, nearest home town is Newcastle, so i put that - hope that is a right answer to get on the trial, would hate to miss out because of where i live!

[Guest MARKUKCOUK]

well the trial is now on my current trials after completing the questionaire. Does this mean "im in". Also, its not starting till the 21st now

[Guest chucky.egg]

It seems to be taking a while (maybe they're getting the ROM update ready! :) )

I've also just found out that the coverage in my area may not be that great

Taking offers now on 1 brand new 3G data card (joking!)

[Guest MARKUKCOUK]

anyone notice the main change... users will not be charged for the use of the datacard (upto a specific limit)

thats changed :)

[Guest xmob]

7.1 You agree that for the duration of the trial Orange will meet all charges relating to the Mobile Office 3G card.  With the exception of the unlikely event that your usage exceeds 200MB in the month of the trial you will be charged at £1 MB for any use over 200MB.

[Guest neilg]

anyone had any sign of their card yet?.... all quiet here....

[Guest MARKUKCOUK]

[Guest pisquee]

Had email from amelia, saying card should arrive by the end of next week - yeay!

[Guest MARKUKCOUK]
