Guest markdotpeters5 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 who you get through to seems to make the world of difference at Orange. I spoke to a fantastic woman called Debbie in the 14 days returns department yesterday, who did everything she could, and I was most pleased! Everyone before her has been a miserable sod!

Guest dessievalley Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I saw that the website was showing it instock yesterday, so I tried to upgrade online. However, I wanted to change my plan at the same time, so I phoned up for assistance. They told me that it was in fact out of stock and I wouldn't be able to go all the way on the web site. They also told me it would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pondrew Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 ...disconnections may be getting another call soon.. waiting till aug and getting it on T-mobile is getting temptng... Except for the sad fact that it's not available on T-Mobile. Still, the Vario II (assuming the Hermes is indeed named that) should make up for it and the Compact II (Charmer) is a great device only slightly less well featured...

Guest chonkey Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hello chaps (and chapesses) I spoke to Orange this morning and apparently theres 500 in stock...

Guest dangallo Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Does anyone know how you can upgrade your contract (i.e. keep your existing number) on buymobilephones.net. I noticed you can port your number, but this is only if you're on a different network, and I'm already with Orange. Or is there anywhere else online I can upgrade my Orange phone? Thanks!

Guest jamespvm600 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 :) :) im well not happy at the minute. my m600 has a fault with the speaker so orange gave me a fault code to exchange it but as i upgraded from orange retail they wont cover me on my insurance and have to swap it instore. i reported the fault within 28 days so im ok for a full refund if i want. This was 4 bloody weeks ago!!! there are no other m600s available in the whole of yorkshire to get a replacement. Anyone know when the m3100 is out? by law if there isnt anything in stock by then i should be able to get that. I had the same problem but gave up and got the whole thing cancelled with orange, the M600 has far too many faults IMHO, so I'm going to wait for whats next.....

Can you be more specific? Just that I understood the HTC Prophet (SPV M600) to be fairly robust in stability and build quality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disconnect from Orange by porting your number out to a pay-as-you-go service, then port it back into Orange on a new contract. However this will mean that you'll loose your current tarrif unless you are one of their new 'animal' tariffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol yeah what's with these "animal" tariffs, pretty weird if you ask me?!... anyway, i phoned Orange CS again tonight and asked to be put through to their disconnections department. They said they'd do the phone for free and let me know when it's in stock, so I'm going to wait for a bit and see if that actually happens. If not, i'll take your suggestion and switch to PAYG, then buy one else where! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moosemoose Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 i stumbled across this site yesterday while looking for leads about anyone with the M600 in stock... orange told me this morning they don't know when, eXpansys said they had one but they'd sold it 5 min earlier, and everyone else has said the same as orange. they recommended me trying carphone warehouse, as they may have stock, but i sat in their queue for 10 min then the guy hung up on me. anyone who's got one from orange, how long has it roughly taken from putting in the upgrade request (which i did yesterday from the website)?

Guest hp1 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) Quick question. If the QTEK s200 is essentially the same device, why are so many people waiting for the M600 when 02 have the s200 in stock and have some very competitive tariffs? Edit: I see - they dont offer it direct but 3rd party websites will do it with an O2 tarrif, still seems like a good deal?

Guest faysel Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) I just got my new M600. I ordered online last week but got a massage to say it was out if stock and to try a retail shop. on saturday night I ordered online again and on suday they sent me a text to say that I will be recieving the phone on 13 june (today) which I did at 10am. So I would say, if you want one then keep ordering online and this way at least you should be in a waiting list of somesort. BTW M600 is fantastic but I prefur the color of my M500.

Guest SteelyDan Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 You could cheat and port your number out to PAYG then port it back in. Works if you go o2 -> o2 PAYG -> o2 Kimbie I've been advised that this doesn't work unless you leave at least six months and that any third party I signed up with would likely have o2 take the new contract comission off them. Nobody is selling the JamIn on any network other than o2 or Voda. Damn, I might have no choice but to go orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dangallo Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I spoke to the Retentions department at Orange last week who said the M600 was out of stock, but I could upgrade for free... Anyway, just had a phone call from them this morning to say I should be receiving it tomorrow! So not sure how much stock they have if anyone else wants to try and get their hands on one?!

Guest hp1 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I just got one too, they are in stock. I was offered 500 mins and 100 texts on a 18 month or 500 mins and 30 texts on a 12 month both offered the phone for free. Decided to sacrifice 70 texts for the 6 month less on the contract. Will get phone tomo...awsome. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zahid Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Been phoning everyday for the past 3 days and been told by Orange Upgrades that it's still out of stock :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hp1 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Zahid, Thats what I was doing. Just go straight through to disconnections and get them to work you out a deal. If they are not in stock they will phone you when they are. Upgrades wont add you to a waiting list. The phones were out of stock when I called but I got a call less than 24 hours later to say they had one for me. As I undestand it, they are only getting a few in everyday and these go straight to those on the disconnections list (maybe), this means they will never be listed in stock because they are not on the shelves long enough. Hope this helps, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
