Do you get spammed after you sign up?

[Shawz]

Is there any limit to the number of times you can do this????

[Edinburghlass]

Talking about spamming, I keep getting text's from Orange Dating which tell me someone I know is looking for me......as its an 0900 number you have to ring, I don't but it does niggle my curiosity !

[Mark_B]

where do you have to text the number to??? anyone know the number of hand??

thank you

[Edinburghlass]

you don't actually text the number you text the word "text" to the number 1127 :)

[bubbles]

thanks a lot raihanT-great find-have just sent texts via net to all i know on orange!

[Mishy]

Hi just sent the text & got a reply, just waiting for it to be activated.

How long does the activation normally take?

Thank You.

THANKS FOR THIS!! GOOD FIND!!!

[Ally]

Thank you Raihan, :)

Just sent off for mine and confirmation received - will post back when texts have been applied.

[Edinburghlass]

Has anyone had an activation text yet? I'm still waiting for mine


Nothing yet Sheel but I did mine some four hours after you :)

[savvy]

Thx Raihan.............................cant w8 2 txt evry1 4 free! ;) ;D

[steeev]

Nothing yet Sheel but I did mine some four hours after you :)

if this offer is anything like their recent free weekend texting offer, then it will probably take about 5 days to get activated ( just an educated guess...)

[poppymop]

what a find!!

I know a few people who will like this!!

Anyone on Orange Pay as you Go can receive 30 free texts when you send the word 'text' to 1127. You get a confirmation text from orange when you get them.



1. Is this their 'try for a month' offer?
2. Do we have to call before 30 days to deactivate?

Nick.

[Judi]

Talking about spamming, I keep getting text's from Orange Dating which tell me someone I know is looking for me......as its an 0900 number you have to ring, I don't but it does niggle my curiosity !

My husband has been getting them too. ;D

[Smartasss]

Nick A asked:

1. Is this their 'try for a month' offer?

The 30 texts are valid for 30 days. After that the normal charge applies (12p/text)

2. Do we have to call before 30 days to deactivate?

Not on PAYG - if unused in 30 days, then the free ones just expire.

*******************

Note that if you already have the text saver or orange out here service, then you can't go for this offer.

And you have to have some credit on your phone to use the free texts.

I doubt that "Orange Dating" is anything to do with Orange, who are anxious to stop spamming.

(It is unlawful for anyone to send an unsolicited marketing text message)

You can forward any spam messages to 7726 free of charge from your Orange phone, and they will report the companies concerned to the relevant authority.

You can also have your mobile number put on the TPS.

Register your name, address and phone number with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). You can also register your landline number. 28 days after you register your details, it becomes illegal to make a direct marketing call or send a marketing text message to your number.

You can register with the TPS online at HERE (www.tps-online.org.uk)

[bamberbamboo]

;) lovely the whole clan has texted for this lovely freebie, thanks RaihanT ;D

[Edinburghlass]

Just got the authorisation text from Orange for my 30 free texts to be used by 12/08/2004.

And I have Orange Out Here on my phone so don't be put off by having a text plan, give it a go ;)

[Edinburghlass]

Also just in is the authorisation on my daughter's phone who has Orange Out Here too, just waiting the on the spare sim now which has the 500 free texts at the weekend along with the 5 free texts a day, lol.

Daughter been desparate for these to come through as her pal is away and she can't afford to text anymore :o

[baked_beans_lady]

Just received Orange text confirmation. I now have 30 free text messages to try before 12th August 2004. ;D ;D

The conclusion is it takes Orange a little over 24 hours to confirm my request. Hopefully everyone who requested the free text trial should get their confirmation soon.

;D ;D ;D

[steeev]

yup just got my confirmation too :) much quicker than the free weekend texting confirmation, i was pleasantly surprised :)

[RaihanT]

horray for all :) Im on orange contract so it doesnt work for me but nevermind. I was getting worried when no one got there confirmation text but i guess it does work. happy texting

[Edinburghlass]

Thanks RaihanT, I'll give you back your :-*

What is the free weekend texting on orange all about?

[Edinburghlass]

What is the free weekend texting on orange all about?

I got my sim free with a magazine voucher but you can buy the sim from the Orange shop for £4.99 and it gives you 500 free texts at the weekend for six months.

[Ally]

Got my free texts last night! I seldom text so now I am gonna make sure I do ;D

Thank you Raihan

[gammo]

I'm a bit of a numpty when it comes to this mobile lark...but if i bought one of these 500 free text sims for £4.99 from orange would i be able to alternate with the sim in my present mobile? is swapping the sim cards about recommended - could it damage them? how would the billing work?
cheers

[steeev]

What is the free weekend texting on orange all about?

orange have been doing special promotions in various magazines, recently its been Zoo, and the latest was More magazine. Where they had a voucher exchangeable for a free Orange sim card, and when its registered, they set up free weekend texting for 6 months :) Another way to get the offer at present is to buy a phone from an orange shop that costs over 69.99 i think.

[Smartasss]

Hi Gammo

You could swap SIMs with no problem if your existing phone is on Orange (or is unlocked), otherwise you will need to get it unlocked to accept SIMs from any network. (This isn't a big problem - there are threads on MSE about unlocking).

There is the slight chance that by continually swapping SIMs you might damage the contacts on the SIM, but if this happened, Orange would supply a replacement.

You can get a twin sim holder for many phones quite cheaply which has a switch on it so that you don't have to remove SIMs, just switch between the 2.

There would no affect to your bills doing this, each account would continue independently.

[poppymop]

we are still waiting for ours...and have been since tuesday!!

[poppymop]

finally managed to get my friends now!!

[Judi]

My text came through last night telling me i could now use my 30 free texts. :)

[zebedy]

mine came through last night too. Hurray! I'll be textastic for the next month.

Re: the swapping SIMS over query - surely your phone number would be different if you swapped SIMS (PAYG)?

[Smartasss]

The phone number in use would be the number of the SIM currently in the phone. (And would change when you put in a different SIM)

[Judi]

My daughter uses 2 sim chips in her phone. You have to buy a special back for it. Hers is a nokia though, i dont know if you can buy them for all phones.

[Mark_B]

been trying to do this but it wont let me :( do you need to have credit on the phone??? :-[

[purplemoon]

been trying to do this but it wont let me :( do you need to have credit on the phone??? :-[
Expect so!
Just texted off for mine (also have text saver so we shall see). My mum is on orange contract but is currently abroad so will to remember to tell her on return.

Suzz posted this warning (in another thread) about trying to get the free texts when you already have textsaver:

BEWARE - if you have Orange Textsaver on your phone (5 free texts per day), doing this will CANCEL your text saver.

My boyfriend did it & his text saver's gone. There's something in the terms & conditions for textsaver - saying it can't be used with any other offers. Luckily he only had 2 months to run on the text saver.

If you've already done it - you can get a new text saver for £9.99 at The Link. This gives you £5 of call credit and 5 free texts per day for a year.

[debjacks]

thanks for this i done it on my daughters phone took about 2 days to arrive but worth it. ;D

[simsun]

Stage 1 is complete - just waiting for the activation from Orange. This should cover my text needs for the next month or so quite well.

cheers
simsun

[Smartasss]

The only way to tell would be to count up how many texts you've sent since the 30 free ones were applied.

Once that's over 30, then check your balance before and after sending the first text of the day.

[loopyloo]

I have the outhere package. Is that the same as textsaver? I hope not coz my out here is for life!

[Smartasss]

Yes - Textsaver used to be called Out Here

[loopyloo]

Oh Noooooooooooo! :o :o

I might have to send all my texts now just to see if its gone. Boo Hoo.

Maybe if i call Orange they will re=instate it for me.

Don't panic - I can assure you that the try text promotion will not cancel your text saver. If you're text saver stops working it is down to something else, possibly a technicality regarding message centre numbers.
If you have textsaver/out here the centre number should be +447973100979

If you do find your text saver to be not working anymore, contact customer services or call into an Orange shop for help.

Technically, the offer to 'try text' is only open to people who have never sent a text before - however, it seems that texting this number bypasses the checking.

While youre in the Orange shop, ask for a free travel adaptor and when your free texts have run out, claim some free photo messages, video messages etc etc etc the list goes on www.orange.co.uk/try

Anyone who has any particular problems is welcome to e-mail me and I will do my best to help them out.

[loopyloo]

Thank you. :-*

[Mark_B]

once the 30 are used can you use the plan again???

and do you get charge like the contract one ( £2 per month)

talk soon

??? HELP please - I read the other page first and sent 'Text' to 1122 on my PAYG phone

Will this work or do I have to do it again to 1127???

[Smartasss]

Mark_B asked:

do you get charge like the contract one ( £2 per month)

Once you've used up the free ones, any more you send cost the usual 12p each.

[Jazzy_B]

Thanks for this. Great tip

[Debbie_Hobdell]

been trying to do this but it wont let me :( do you need to have credit on the phone??? :-[


Yes, Mark, you do!

(From Smartasss, posted on: Jul 13th, 2004, 2:17pm)

"And you have to have some credit on your phone to use the free texts".

So go & use the money you'll save thorugh this offer to get some credit & sign up for your free texts!

[Debbie_Hobdell]

Just sent mine off - does anyone know if this is a short-term offer or an on-going thing?

I know you only get 30 texts free, but I'm wondering if you can do this every month!

[azka]

thanks for this raihan T. told sister about this, and she's pleased.

[barjam]

I have the outhere package. Is that the same as textsaver? I hope not coz my out here is for life!
i have outhere on my phone along with a few other members of my family it is for life its not the same as text saver which only lasts for one year i have had mine for approx 3yrs nearly orange can change there products when they feel like it but they have to inform you first ;D ;D ;D

[neilk]

Just been looking at the "try" section of the orange website and was interested in trying 30 free photo messages, however it says to call in at an Orange shop to do it.

I went past twice and it looked dead busy both times so I decided to use my initiative and try texting "photo" to 1127.

Sure enough, got a text back:

Hello from Orange: Thanks! We will send a text when your 30 free photo messages have been applied. Have fun and get snapping and sending!

I have orange 'text saver',, and it still worked for me ;D

[Debbie_Hobdell]

What's the longest it's taken to get texts credited? Maybe I'm getting impatient in my old age, but I sent my text off 5 days ago - got their initial reply text but no activation message since. :(

[Edinburghlass]

Can take as long as a week, so don't panic yet :D

[poppymop]

I had a word with my service provider about the deals that are about and which Im not getting.


Hopfully they might get their bums in gear so I can benefit from some of this!!!

??? ??? ;D Does anyone know if you can use this code more than once on the same orange phone?

[Janeryan]

Just texted for mine & got my confirmation-lets see how long it takes!!

Thanks for this tip!! ;D

I just rang up orange and apparently the 30 free texts do not invalidate your text saver, they just override it at times.

Another thign they said is they are doing an offer for a month of 500 weekend texts for 26 weekends (6months) for a tenner. You have to top up with £10 then they deduct it from that if you ring up customer services (PAYG line)

[Judi]

??? ??? !;D Does anyone know if you can use this code more than once on the same orange phone?
I want to know too, ive run out of my free ones. :(

[Debbie_Hobdell]

I'm still waiting for my 1st lot to come through - only applied 11 days ago (feels like 11 weeks!) :'(

Just about to re-text & see what happens.

[Allexie]

Six days and nothing yet!!! ::)

[Janeryan]

I applied on July 31st and still not heard anything from Orange other than the original acknowledgement! Any one else having problems with activation???? ???

[Bargin_Queen]

I tried it last month worked witihn 48 hrs.

Just tried again got a balance before I sent text, balance was the same after sending text to 1127 its free !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bargin_Queen]

Just got a text stating I will be sent a text when 30 free texts have been applied took 5mins to get this text from the original 1127 text!!!!

Fingers crossed

[Allexie]

Just got credited with mine at last...just have to be patient I guess.....thanks a lot for this...dare I try it again????
:-/

[Janeryan]

Still waiting for my free texts-sent a text to orange to 1127 asking how long it would be before they were activated and got a reply saying"thanks you will be notified when your 30 free texts are activated"!

You get the acknowledgement really quickly but they don't seem to be as quick to actually activate the texts-maybe we have swamped the system!

On a ggod point have just come back from the cinema after using my first two for one orange film on wednesday. It was really easy to do I just showed the cashier the orange text-he tapped the number in and my son & I got to see Spiderman 2 for £4.75(not bad when the full price for me alone is £6.00). Thought the film was good if a bit violent in places compared to the first Spiderman. Will do this offer agin as they are heaps of films I want to see!

[aussielle]

Thanks for the link, much appreciated. !:)

Just done it for son no 1, pity no 2 isn't on Orange too. !Neither of them ever have credit for long!

[milsna]

Read through thread but still can't find out!! How long does it take to come through ....and can you do this each month?

(its not for me but for a m8.....does anyone know any "VODAFONE" offers?????)

Thanks ;)

[poppymop]

it would be nice to know if Vodafone or Tmobile do anything like this.

they seem to be missing out!

[Allexie]

can you do it more than once - or am I being greedy!
:-[ :-[ :-[

[Mark_B]

anyone got this to work???

[Janeryan]

Still waiting!!!!

[rockbabe]

this is a great offer but i'm on TXT SAVER :(

[rayman]

Thanks for this ;D

[tulips11]

After waiting 2 weeks for free texts to be activated, I texted again, got immediate reply then confirmation of free texts within 24 hours!! Seems its a bit hit and miss as hubby did same a day later but has not had confirmation yet and its been 3 days now.

[jlpsaver]

;D Did this last week got a confirmation message almost immediately and then it took about 48 hours before I got another message to say free texts had been activated.
Thanks for this - bit of a newbie to all this but I'm enjoying my free texts

[aussielle]

Read through thread but still can't find out!! How long does it take to come through ....

2/3 days

[peteraj]

Brillaint my son will love this tomorrow morning.

Peteraj

[domiow]

I'm new to this forum but well impressed!
Anyway i have just done the text thing and it must still be current as i received a confirmation back straight away from orange saying they will let me know when my free texts have been applied - top freebie - thanx!

[sharon.raynor1@ntl]

i recieved a text message saying that they will txt me when the free ones have been applied that was 3 weeks ago still no free texts :( . Oh well i will give it another try and see what happens will let you know

[tizwoz46]

Applied for mine on 24 Sept. Got message to say they were activated on 27 Sept. Great freebie! ;D

[Stranger]

How many times can you get the free texts?

[Tony69]

i recieved a text message saying that they will txt me when the free ones have been applied that was 3 weeks ago still no free texts :( . Oh well i will give it another try and see what happens will let you know


You may still have the free texts even tho you haven`t received the confirmaton that they are activatedMy other half had no confirmation but she has free texts.

[mc1958]

them 30 text messages are valid for 30 days. you cant have them again but once the 30 days have run out you can have other offers. Theyre called 'TRY' offers. you can have £12 credit to use on the internet... including downloads, £3 credit to use if you re goin abroad, 30 free picture messages, or so much to use video messaging (not too sure how much on that one)

you just need to dial 450 from handset and follow automated service to "EXTRAS ENQUIRY" think its option 1 and option 4. this is free BUT MAKE SURE YOU CHOSE OPTION 1 AT THE START BECAUSE YOU ARE CHARGED FOR THE OTHER OPTIONS.
you will go through to customer service ( COULD BE ME!) and ask them about it

make the most of these freebies... im not even an orange custimer

let me know how it goes ;D

[kezbomb]

I sent for this one about 2 months ago, I got the recieved text but still no free texts :-[

[carrick2004]

Don't reply to dating number as it is a premium rate and a scam

[Killer]

All four members of my family tried this a fortnight ago. We all had automated texts sent back saying we would get a further text telling us when the free 30 text messages would commence. We are still waiting. Anyone one else experienced this?

[loopyloo]

I tried this for the second time about 2 months ago and also tried on another orange sim for first time. got the automated text but nothing else :(

[paul2louise]

I have tried this 3 or more times. I get an acknowledgement that it has been recieved and that it it. No free texts and its been months. Does anyone else have this problem

>:(

[Peakma]

i also got the reply months ago.....still no free texts.

[Sir_Stanley_Bowles]

Hello there, ;)

[davidb]

Great freebie,

[Mecoconuts]

Great freebie,
just had confirmation from Orange, its still working. GREAT

You'll always get the confirmation text but you never get the second one that says your free texts 'start now' !

I reckon the offer is over but the automated text number is still working only. !:(

[simonwien]

>:( Tried this a couple months ago got text back from orange right away but never did get free texts. But if your with BT Yahoo you can get cheaper texts via their website e mail page.

Sent my txt on 28/02/05, received confirmation and txts credited on 01/03/05, have to be used by 31/03/05. So offer is still working, oh by the way I did check my balance before and after txting, and it was free. But not sure how to keep track of how many free txts I am using, any ideas. :o

[kirsty1]

Never got the free texts though. Got a message saying I would get them but never did. Hope everyone else has better luck. :(

[rushnowt]

When you check your balance, there is an additional message stating how many texts you have left.


By the way does anyone know if you are limited to one set of free texts or not?

Me and my girlfriend decided to do this ages ago and got the initial text that you all are getting, "another text will follow shortly" or something to this affect.

Well that was about 18 months ago and me and the g/f are still waiting.

Paul

[Basil Fawlty]

I had to send the initial text request twice after receiving the first reply but no confirmation.

Took about a week in total. But the texts are good :cool:

Can this be done again??

And can you have two try things at the same time?? :confused:

The catch is after the first month you have to top up by £15 quid a month to get them.

Hi,

JUst tried on my phone but it didn't work. I understand the initial text is free, but do you still need credit on your phone?

Thanks

Well Ill just use the months worth. Then Im going to try again. Might work.

Does This Interfer With Any Other Offer That You Have With Orange? I Have Free Credit At The End Of The Month All Depending On How Much I Spend, Does It Interfere With That Offer?

[trickytrolleys]

[mistresslenore]

[QUOTE=Edinburghlass]Just sent off this text to my phone and my daughter's, she got a text back straight away saying they will text again when they will activate but I haven't had the initial text :-/

I have already had the free 30 texts but I tried again and they have sent back to say that I have 3000 free evening and weekend texts for one month.

[cool dude]

I did this once about 2 months ago then i used them up. I tried sending it again and i get the text back saying they will text me when they have been aplied but they never sent me the message, i did try a few more times but still never got them.

Any ideas????

[mcpop72]

No good, just tried it and it's no longer available!

[rockape]

just tried, got the same answer! :xmassign:

[pricefighter]

The 30 free text offer is still available but you have go in Orange Shop/Stockist to get it see http://www.orange.co.uk/personal/try/flash/tryflash.php

[yummy mummy]

Well i just did it and i got a message back saying sorry we can no longer activate 30 free messages looks like i missed the boat again :mad:

[gemma280563]

Same as above message but thanks all the same

[BorisTheCrab]

I think this is part of Orange's "TRY" promotion!

You get 30 free texts to try for a month and orange then offer text bundles to you after the initial month period is over.

They do have other offers like free GPRS browsing worth £12 and free photo messaging but I don't know the codes for these!!

[liewe heksie]

I have tried this orange PAYG text freebie, but have been told by Orange that this offer is unfortunately no longer available.

[forest_andy]

[fairycherub]

Just done it myself & the reply was; Sorry, we can no longer activate 30 free messages by text. To find out more try our website, orange.co.uk/try
I think i'll try that myself. Thanks anyway.:confused: :confused:

[spiderman95]

It does say on the site that you need to visit your nearesr store for this offer and on the try link it says:


*************************************************
Existing customers can select a free service trial by calling 150 for pay monthly and 451 for pay as you go. Or you can pop in store for further information.

Hi Just thoughts Id save people a text - thsi offer is now closed

[caspainseamonster]

Hi everyone

Just thought I'd save you 12p or so - this offer is no longer valid 30/11/06

[darkteckno]

I wonder how many people did send the text before reading your "helpful posts"

[lilmiss]

i had 30 free texts earlier this year. Then when they ended i didn't top up for about three months. No idea what i did, but in the end they ended up giving me 10p text messages instead of 12p ones. I didn't call them or anything, i think they just felt sorry for me :D

[James_N]

I tried this and have nothing after 2 days - and I am a long-term customer so maybe this is a mistake by the original poster?

Sadly you are not as observant as you need to be.

The original poster put the details of this offer on MSE almost TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO !!!!!

See date of OP - 12-07-2004

I'd guess it has probably EXPIRED !

[susan.boyd1]

Thanks for that.

Don't think you are going to get this.

If you check back a few posts you'll see several people that have tried this over the last 6 months or more and have failed.

The offer was posted OVER TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO.

I doubt the offer is still running.

[ilikefreethings]

[Tesco points addict]

Just spent 20 mins looking on google to see if I could get the Text Saer package at £9.99 as mentioned earlier....only to find the posts were from 2004!!!
Will take more notice next time! Anyone know of similar text offers ie one off payment for 5 free texts a day!

[Tesco points addict]

Ahhhh just realised I hav bumped this thread....so sorry

I suggest you read my previous post : #205

ESPECIALLY THE BIT IN RED

[m2c]

Have they stopped the 30 free texts from there website. Couldnt find it at first (why do they move things around?).. Now when I enter number and pass it just goes back to the home page. Cleared cookies and still nothing.

[Bob the Saver]

Look under email/communicate (or something like that) after logging on, not in My Account where it used to be.

[edddie]

I've been having the same problem. The website was rejigged last week and it hasn't worked since. The links don't take you to the correct pages.

I contacted orange to let them know and they said I hadn't registered my account online. I replied to them to say I had, and they then said it is a known problem on the website but there is a workaround: click on sitemap, and then 'send a message' and this will work.

Unfortunately, this second link does not exist!

I haven't yet got back in touch with them to let them know.

[edddie]

All the links seem to work ok now.
