Guest djthorp Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 My Bill date is 12th June, and just checked by bill on website and have got the SPV Promo Pack advance charges until 11th July. PS: I did receive the letter saying that it was coming to an end at the June Bill. Hurrah!! Turned the Email Synching back to every 30 mins, and can PIE surf for another month... Same bill date, my synching went back up but my main concern really is being able to use MSN from my bed (yeah I'm lazy and my computer is at least 5ft away from my bed) or when I'm out.

Guest Pagemakers Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Orange told me 2 days ago, there was no need to move off the promo bundle. It was on my phone for "life"!!! I get my bill next week so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squall Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 i will be kinda glad, ive cut out my gprs use, and switched to an o2 p@g sim card. I like orange, just not the costs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dan Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Bizarre, just phoned Customer Services to see what I am paying. Apparently I have paid £6 on my June bill which means I can use it until 10 July. The guy on the billing time also noted on my account that despite I had a letter like everyong else, there was no end date on the £6 offer. I would be phoned or receive a text message if the promotion ended! Do you think it is safe to surf at my leisure? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hax Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Be careful guys - in the middle of May, I got a letter to tell me my promo pack was to expire at my next billing date (15th of June) so called O's CS at the beginning of June to arrange to move to the PAYG GPRS and was told that my GPRS promo pack had been cancelled from the 31st of May and I had already been switched onto the £4 for 2Meg bundle! :shock: Nice lady said I could call her and get refunded for any GPRS charges I'd encountered, but I've not been able to check my bill yet - online billing is "unavailable" as usual - wish Orange would sort this out.... Well, been put onto PAYG now and although I've said all along that I don't feel cheated about being shifted to a different bundle that costs more per meg, that still stands, but now I'm just intensely jealous at all you lucky boogas still having unlimited GPRS :evil: But then again, I didn't really use it that much - so no great loss for me.... Enjoy guys :lol: Hax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest angeleyes Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 well i'm fed up with the high bills i pay every month, despite my already high talk plan. so i've changed to one of orange's ovp tariffs (an o2 one, which was a better deal for what i wanted). so i asked about my gprs and they said that the orange access pack now works with the spv, so they'll put me on that - it's only £5 or £6 for 10mb!!!! better deal :lol: if it's true and it works.

Guest Simon Desser Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 so i asked about my gprs and they said that the orange access pack now works with the spv, so they'll put me on that - it's only £5 or £6 for 10mb!!!! better deal :lol: if it's true and it works. Isn't the Access Pack just for wap, not full internet :?: Or is this something else? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Yep it's for WAP over GPRS but still WAP anything else is charged at GPRS rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest barncourt Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 OK... It's get better folks! I too received a letter advising me that my promotion pack would expire on the 9th June 2003. I phoned up on the 9th and asked to be transferred to a 7mb Bundle and reduce my Talk Plan to 30 (was 120). Get my new billed dated 10th June and guess what it says: Talk Time 30 : 10 Jun - 09 Jul 12.77 GPRS Bundle 7 : 10 Jun - 09 Jul 12.77 SPV Promotion Pack : 10 Jun - 09 Jul 5.11 Cool... So now I'm paying for a GPRS Bundle AND the SPV Promotion Pack.... What a cock up!!! :twisted: I think an irrate call to Orange is called for!!!!!!!

Guest sparks1061 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I had the letter stating I was going onto a 2 Meg bundle this month, Got may bill yesterday and it shows the promotional charges until the end of July, Just spoke to a very nice lady on 152 who checked my account and said the expiry date for the promotional package on my account is set to 9999, So in her words,"you'll be on that pakage for as long as you own the phone" :lol: Which is great news, but if O have changed their minds about charging us higer bills you would think they would earn some brownie points by telling everyone!!!!!!

Guest Simon Desser Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I've stayed out of this thread, but my theory, is that Orange will continue with the promotion, until they come up with some means of the user checking how much data they have used :?: I reckon there'll be a GPRS data counter in the next major update, or at least a free number to ring to check your useage, and THEN they'll stop the promotion. If there's no way of checking your useage, and you're getting heavilly chraged for going over your bundle, then you really have got grounds for moaning. I suspect Orange know this, and would rather wait until they have something in place, rather than have hundreds and hundreds of irate phone calls. I suspect "the letter confirming it" came out because the Update was due out, and it's now been delayed, so the promotion has continued :?: This is just my theory :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FrankyG Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Sooo....my billing date is TODAY! How has everyone found out if they are still on the £6 unlimited promo? Phone call to 156....on the bill? I got the letter telling me the promo was to end in June, so fingers crossed that I've still got it active... Whats more annoying is that I can't use pass through connection at work for MSN, firewall issues I think..bummer. It was so good using remote control with MSN, no way the boss suspected anything :lol: FrankyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Sooo....my billing date is TODAY! How has everyone found out if they are still on the £6 unlimited promo? Looked on my account on the orange site and looked at my bill on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Charlie Mouse Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I just phoned 156 and asked when my promotion pack runs out and the guy looked at the date I bought the phone, added six months to that and said it ran out last month. I told him it had definitely been extended until the end of June and asked him to actually have a look on the system and he said... 'oh, would you look at that! You got it for life! It says here it expires Dec 9999. Well, I've learnt something today!' Looks like I can start using GPRS again then :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankyG Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 :lol: :D :lol: :D :lol: :lol: You can guess..... Call to 156; 'Ahh, there's no expiry date on your promo pack. Orange will be migrating users onto a standard bundle over time, I can do that for you now if you wa...' STOP RIGHT THERE MISTER :!: So, although you may have had the letter stating the promo pack will end on your June bill date, that may not be true in all cases. My Bill will be online tomorrow, It'll be interesting to see what it says. :wink: FrankyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Will Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I really hope they don't welch on the deal that if you're charged for the spv promo, you get charged for gprs too!
