Guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 I've just tried upgrading directly through Orange but they're out of stock of C500s. I'm supposed to be receiving an SMS when they come back in but knowing Orange this won't happen. So if anyone manages to get a C500 direct from Orange, would they mind posting in this thread so I and everyone else knows they're back in stock. Thanks!
Guest tedblight Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 i got mine from Orange High street shop. (not orange dealers like phones4u or carphonewarehouse but proper orange shops) Thats ur best bet...
Guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 I need to upgrade direct so that I can get the Select 500 tariff. So frustrating that it can't be done in the retail shops!
Guest hbfair Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 They had one available when I called them at 1pm today. :-) Sorry, mate. If it's any consolation Orange did force me to listen to Peter Andre's "Insania" about five times while I waited for a free support person. :-( No Orange shops in Central London have them at all at the moment, although some of them are getting deliveries on Tuesday and/or Wednesday (althought they're not sure how many - how rubbish is that?).
Guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Posted August 23, 2004 How annoying! I called at 11.00 when they said they didn't have any in stock. Did you upgrade or start a new contract?
Guest ashley Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 I called Orange this morning and was told they usually take their deliveries at 10am, so this is the best time to call. or make that 10:05 so i can get my order in first though!!
Guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Let us know if you have any joy this morning...
Guest SteveI Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 I just picked up a C500 from my Orange Store today, I got the 200 C/N Minutes and 500 texts deal thats the exclusive your plan offer on the orange website, I just asked if they could match it in store and they said "no problem". So try that, as that seems the only place you can get them at the moment.
Guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Unfortunately, you can't get Select 500 through an Orange shop. Unless someone knows different!
Guest techno12 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 I just picked up a C500 from my Orange Store today, I got the 200 C/N Minutes and 500 texts deal thats the exclusive your plan offer on the orange website, I just asked if they could match it in store and they said "no problem". So try that, as that seems the only place you can get them at the moment. Was that an upgrade or a brand new connection? My local store is adamant they can't match the online pricing for upgrades - I'll hassle them again today though, as I'm sick of waiting for online to get stock!
Guest phishwak Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 I called Orange upgrades this morning (around 11.00 a.m.) and they had some in stock. Mine will be delivered on Thursday. The Orange Shop in Hounslow (West London) had a delivery of C500's this morning so if you live near there it's worth a try.
Guest techno12 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 I called Orange upgrades this morning (around 11.00 a.m.) and they had some in stock. Mine will be delivered on Thursday. Grr, I never got that text they promised to send me when they were in stock, trying now. Typical. BTW Does anyone else hate that first message after you select your 'option' when calling, it's about 3x louder than anything else and nearly blows my ears off!
Guest summie Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 I'm on the phone to disconnections now This is silly - they won't let me change my talk plan and upgrade at the same time. I have to basically wait for my billing date unless I go in-store And if I go in-store I can't get the select 500 tarriff - damn these phones
Guest summie Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 YES - Orange Customer Relations comes through again - Select 500 tariff in place, and c500 in the courier's post bag I thank you
Guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Aaaarggggh, no text for me either. Hopefully they'll still have stock!
Guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Success. I knew receiving an SMS would be too good to be true but they do now have them in stock.
Guest zippy172 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 Hmmm, I'm still being told to wait for the SMS and they are out of stock, still - latest news as of 2 mins ago :)
Guest ashley Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 They had them in at 10am when I called, but there is still that little issue of the unpaid bill to sort out. Bugger may have to wait till next month then!! no text message though
Guest phishwak Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 Recieved mine this morning even though they said Thursday. Not that I'm complaing of course ;-) . I'd seriously advise people not to wait for Orange to text/call to say they're in stock. Phone looks/feels even nicer than the demo one they had in the shop (I know they're the same but.....). Just going to try out that 512Mb Mini-SD card now... BTW the battery was fully charged already. Anyone else had this ?
Guest techno12 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 Recieved mine this morning even though they said Thursday. Looks like you got mine ;-) They told me Wednesday and nothing turned up ;-(
