Things to spend your Orange £10 on...

[Guest insurgente]

I'm sure like many of you I've bought this phone to be unlocked and used on a different network...

As one is forced to buy Orange credit, anyone got any tips on some stuff to use it on? I think Orange wednesday is about 35p per text, but what to do with the rest?

I've seen people mentioning that you can donate it to charity, but could someone point me in the direction of such a charity?

Can you buy apps with credit, or just credit card (i'm a n00b...my first smart phone!)

I'm in a simillar situation - or will be when my giffgaff sim finally arrives.

You can't buy apps from the market place with it

The only useful thing i can think of doing with it is donating it - i think lots of charities have number you can text that will donate money from your credit

Hmm... wouldn't it be great if MoDaCo could take donations/subscriptions this way?

[Guest Mit321]

You can transfer it to someone else on PAYG Orange, its what I did. Overall I had about £20 of credit including the "forced" Orange top up with the SF so I sold it to a mate for like £10/15ish. Win-Win situation :)

That would be very cool. I'd donate my £10 credit for an Ad Free sub. :) I'll probably just get an Ad Free sub anyway when the whole locked touchscreen thing is figured out. Until them I'm still on my own cleaned up stock rom. :)

locked touchscreen thing is figured out.

How do you transfer it to another PAYG number?

What locked touchscreen thing?

The people who have to take their battery out because their touchscreen doesn't work on some occasions when they wake it up. On the Froyo roms. Locked touchscreen was kinda bad wording on a device where you lock and unlock the display I spose. :) I was referring to 'locked up' as in how you'd describe software that's not responding.

You need to speak to Orange Customer Care team and they can transfer credit from One SIM to another for you.

It'd be great if everybody donated their 10 pounds to charity. It's almost christmas after all.

there arent many charities that take sms donations are there? I ended up donating £6 to the world land trust since it was all I could find.

make sure you keep some credit to claim any winnings , you need to text "pass" to them to get an online password to claim winnings , i know this the hard way , won £22 saturday , tried to claim it back , but didnt have any balance to text them , now i need to topup the sim to be able to withdraw , only wanted to use the credit up lol ,

I did something like that when switching providers a few years back. I used up all my credit buying games for my phone and then didn't have enough credit to phone customer services for a PAC code and had to top up!

[Guest NorthernNoel]

I got an email when I bought the phone saying that the topup failed. Oh well they didn't charge me the £10 :)
