You cannot keep your number on a new contract with the same provider, so if you want to keep the number you either have to keep that contract or join another netwrok.

As the latter is not an option I'd just ring orange say you are unhappy with the nre terms and would like an early upgrade as compensation.

[stuwilky]

Or port your number to a Payas you go Sim with another network and then back again.

If you can be arsed!!

Get the iPhone, u can get a pink cover for it Hannah.

[Hughesy]

Anyone else cancelled an orange deal yet?

[Hannah]

Get the iPhone, u can get a pink cover for it Hannah.

Are you for real??? I really wanted one of those anyway but have been telling myself no but now the battery life on my nano is rubbish so I could kill two bird with one stone!!! An Iphone in pink!!! Just a shame it is so expensive and they don't do them on orange!!!

[Tango]

What actually are the changes in the Orange mobile charges?

I have the text and a website link, but can't seem to load it in my browser. It's http://orangeworld.co.uk/r/03 FYI.

I don't really want to change my contract because I'm quite happy with it, but would like to know if the charges would change my mind!

[Hughesy]

Tango phone them up. If you have the message they will do something - say you would consider staying if they could offer you a better deal.

They will probably reduce your tariff by £10 a month and add another 200 mins or text....

Iv tried doing it, but as texts havent been received yet, they wont let me until iv got it!!

Sound like a plan, will let you know how I get on!

[Hughesy]

Check the money saving expert thread - many on there have got better deals thanks to the text

[ABBEY]

is it still doable? can you cancel even if you went thru phones4u? just turned the phone on today and got the text after being awayt for a couple of weeks.

[Ste B]

Yep, your contract is with Orange, not with Phones4u..

Though they used to sign you up to some company called Singlepoint.

Got my text.. need to work out what phone to go for.

[Ste B]

And they have now pulled the change of T&C's so the options arent open

[DanLad]

So is this not available, now?

[Ste B]

Nope. Though I did end up with what I wanted in the end anyway.

[Big Fat Sam]

I have just been looking at new phones! I don't really know what to look for as they all seem to have extra features that I am sure I never use! All the deals include loads of minutes which I never use - I just send a phenomenal amount of texts! TBH I normally just pick the pink phone from the shop!!!

They have a good package with unlimited internet that and a good Internet phone and your life will never be the same.

How have orange closed the loop????

[Hughesy]

They have took legal advice which is now covering their backs - unless you go over your limits for the last 3 months then you wont get to cancel it!!

[Hannah]

Apparently I can get reception at my parents with O2 so I have started looking at the Iphone as my Ipod Nano is totally dead now!!!

What is the difference between the 3G and the 3GS and do I need 32 GB or is 18GB ok?

Does it matter where I get one from? They seem to be currently in stock in carphone warehouse.

Thanks

[Ricky]

there isn't an 18gb one hannah, it's 16 or 32.

The 3GS is quicker and has an improved camera and video recording option.

Depends what you want to use it for really. I stretched to a 32gb 3GS and I love it to bits!!

I meant 16!

I currently have a 4GB Nano and that just about fits all my music on it - What else will I need GB for on it? Probably sounding a bit thick!!!

[Ricky]

You can store movies and various applications Hannah. To be honest though if you only have 4gb of music a 16gb iphone would be plenty big enough for you.

[Hughesy]

3GS is much quicker on the net and applications. Also has voice dialing, video recording and automatic uploads to youtube, which the 3g doesnt have.

They do have high call & text charges compared to the other UK networks, but I love Orange for their 20p/min calls to the Rep. of Ireland
