Guest morpheus2702 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Yep, all joking aside this is getting really tiresome. Paul or even a mod - tell us that something is happening on this petition, or tell us that it is just meaningless bullshit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ah, an interesting response there from Paul and the Mods. I think that answers our questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattscholey Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Shame, I thought these last posts might get a response from Paul when he returned from the MVP summit. But he's returned and still no response. Oh well. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mattscholey Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Paul, please could you comment on the status of this petition, and when you plan to send it off, and why you haven't already? But, even though Paul is online now, and is reading this message, he isn't replying, despite me asking him to in the message. It baffles me, not that this petition has gone to waste, and that he hasn't sent it off, but that he hasn't posted just to inform us what is going on! Please tell us. It's only fair. Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 But, even though Paul is online now, and is reading this message, he isn't replying, despite me asking him to in the message. It baffles me, not that this petition has gone to waste, and that he hasn't sent it off, but that he hasn't posted just to inform us what is going on! Er, I've literally just read this message? What is going on currently, is that I am talking to people within the networks about the current GPRS situation, and in light of this, it wouldn't be in the best interest of us or the petition to send it off at this time. Unfortunately, these talks have been long and drawn out, but they ARE likely to reach a conclusion one way or the other very soon. I can't say more atm i'm afraid!

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Today is my first day *properly* back online ;-) The signature count is currently at 1690. As someone said previously, I think one last push will be necessary if we do send it on to try and get a few more signatures! P Shame, I thought these last posts might get a response from Paul when he returned from the MVP summit. But he's returned and still no response. Oh well.

Guest mattscholey Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 That's OK. We were just getting frustated at the lack of comment from the mods for months. Thanks for keeping us up to date, and good luck with the talks! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chucky.egg Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Article in "IT Week" 10 May 2004 (page 29) "Most customers of mobile data services do not want to be charged according to the number of bytes they transmit..." Payment preferences 31% Subscription: unlimited use 24% No payment 13% Pay per use 11% Subscription: volume based 09% Pay per kilobit 08% Dont know 03% None of these 01% Other http://www.itweek.co.uk/News/1154986 (Seemed to take a moment to load - got a banner and blank screen for a few seconds, but that might just be my connection) So how does that compare to our poll?

Unfortunately, these talks have been long and drawn out, but they ARE likely to reach a conclusion one way or the other very soon. Can we have another update Paul, when you're back from Tenerife I suppose...even though I'm not going to get a holiday this year by the looks of things. Not that I'm bitter about it or anything. Just because I didn't get a holiday last year *either*. But, hey, you folks just enjoy yourselves allright! Don't you worry about poor old me stuck back in Blighty Anyway, back on track... What's the latest? Have your talks got anywhere? Was there another puch for signatures? Has the petition been sent off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morpheus2702 Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Flat rate GPRS would make a :!: GREAT OFFER :!: to launch the C500 with eh Orange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 So what's the news? I see that on 3G orange are offering 65Mb for £20/month! or "unlimited" (1Gb) for £75/month Are they trying to tell us that GPRS is dead? http://www.orange.com/English/media/pressa...p?id=123&bhcp=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 No change, I am trying to determine currently whether the above tariffs will be extended to 2.5G GPRS, and if not, whether 3G 'roams' onto the Orange GPRS network (I think you can see where i'm coming from)...

Guest stevehurcombe Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi, Did anything happen to this? A lot of people signed up... If not can the thread be closed? or at least close the petition. Best regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 No, nothing happened. The 3G tariffs came out, and if you sign up for one of them you can "roam" on the 2G network and get GPRS. The cost of data doing that way is lower (check the website for current prices) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dearsina Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Um... I just got a letter from Orange today, I don't know if this is news to anybody else though, but just in case: Unrestricted access to information and entertainment on your phone As a pay monthly customer, Orange will be giving you the freedom to explore a wide range of information [...] From April 8, all phones on your account will have unrestricted access to mobile services, including adult content. So I guess the petition worked. Cheers guys. sina london Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 ;) You know that it's not the same thing don't you?! Orange are saying you can surf porn sites on your phone, not that you can have flat rate GPRS to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dearsina Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 ;) You know that it's not the same thing don't you?! I know now, I found out the really really expensive way. Thank you Orange for a £200+ bill. /pissed off //broke ///no one to be angry at but myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mstephenson Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Signed...what most annoys me about Orange is that they offer unlimited data for £1 per day on PAYG, but there isn't even a £30 unlimited monthly package on contract plans, and you'd expect a contract deal to be cheaper than PAYG, not alot more expensive! Unless of course you count the OWU deals which seem to be hit and miss as to whether you can actually get or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix (MVP) Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Of course the ironic thing is that Orange got there first with unlimited data, and at a cheaper rate than TMob! Back in 02/03 with the launch of the original SPV Orange ran a £6/month unlimited GPRS deal, and extended it past the end date by a few extra months. Since then their data deals have just become comparatively worse. Shame really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
