Orange Tariff boundaries

[Guest stevewright]

When Orange quotes "tariffs under £25, £25-£30 and over £30" is that just on the talk plan or does it include the addons?

E.g. I pay:

OVP T-Mobile Everytime 30 = £15

Text 60 = £4

GPRS 1 = £2

Orange Care = £5

Total = £26 (minimum obviously)

Does this put me in the middle category?

Don't know, but something you could do is buy the phone on a £25 tariff, then change it straight down to the lower tariff once you've got the phone.

[Guest stevewright]

Yep, that's what I did when I got my SPV. Upgraded in an Orange shop, they phoned up OCS and upped the tariff, I phoned back in a week and put it down again!

I was more asking because I know when trying to bargain with Orang£, they look at your monthly bills over a long period of time, and I was wandering where I stood, i.e. which category I'm lingering in.

below £25. sorry. it goes on line rental only. but if your upgrading change your tariff when you upgrade then change down the following month.

[Guest stevewright]

Cool. Cheers goinnuts.

I'm pretty sure that O changed their policy some time ago about doing this (I can't remember whether there was a time or a cost implication). Make sure you check with them if you intend dropping to a lower tariff straight away.

i was told i had to wait 3 months before i could change tariffs without any hassle or penalty

I thought it was something like that.

Back in the good old days you could sign up for a top end tariff, take all the freebies and discounts and then drop straight down to the tariff that you really wanted :lol:

The 3 months wait changes things a bit but there are still some good deals to be had, even by taking the higher tariff for the 3 months before switching ;)

It's 4 months I believe - 6 months for vodafone.

I'm looking forward to my £170 cashback on my mpx200 tho :lol:

I was told its ONE month AFTER the first year. So my contract runs out in 2 weeks. Then i change tarrifs, get the phone for less and change back after a month. Atleast thats what OCS told me.
