Ok having had my Orange BB Talk activated I can divert all my TALK calls to my/any Orange mobile at a cost of nil !

Choose a local area number other than the default 0845 number supplied and now everyone can call me for 5p connection via 18185 ;)

So 40 quid gets me 2550 x net mins, 3500 texts, 8MB unlimited internet and a free divert to my mobile, ooh im lovin it !


I had advised someone self employed to do this ages ago but I can confirm it works! Landline divert to mobile calls for nowt - well chuffed :D great for the self employed/customer call costs.


Best 40 i have spent a month in a long long time :)


now what to do with all them mins i will no longer use ! suggestions please !!!


dont I wish sky/telewest could be included, well Spain has Orange TV ( maybe its coming ;) )


early last year...........

BT line rent 11.00pm
BT B/B 27.00pm
mobile 25.00pm o2 discount 750 & 400 txts
18866 10.00pm average ( landlines & weekend mobile calls )
landline2mobile diverts 20.00pm average ( incoming work calls - hang up & calling back from inclusive minutes )


104 a month

Orange has saved me more than 50%

Mobile B/B & 100 coutry international calling 40
BT line 10.25


50.25 a month :)
SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    Do you not mean BT Line for £10.50p a month.:D

    Was it easy to set up?

    I also set up bb talk and it's great. I did not realise that it was free to divert to your Orange mobile, I thought it was 10p a min to a landline or any UK mobile?

    My costs are BT £10.75, Orange Mobile £30, but with cashback £0 and BB Talk/Livebox £5

    I still have to use 18185 to send faxes via my BT line as you cannot use a fax machine via the livebox.

    easy peasy apart from a billing error that delayed TALK activation a month, now costs me nowt to divert to my 2nd mobile Orange Payg when im out or call sis mobile from home, think PAC out of o2 22/7 and take a Orange sim only deal & get free calls to her - mobile to mobile as they will be on the same account :D

    if you log into your account go to TALK, put your mobile a/c number in and bobs your uncle 15mins later all calls to Orange mobiles are free ! :D :T

    I'd already registered for free calls to Orange mobiles via CS, I didn't realise that would included calls diverted to your mobile

    your Talk plan is: Wireless and Talk Service - Any Time International - Free calls to Orange

    It does not say free diverted calls

    i thought the same - they told me diverts to landlines are chargable so is mobiles 10p a minute, but calls to Orange mobiles were originally 10p a minute but became free so your divert will be charged as such a call to an Orange mobile - and that was from a customer accounts UK call centre not India broadband support, its costs O a pitance to divert as its internal ie...Orange company to another Orange company ( they prob write off each others bills as non payment as debt relief for tax avoidance ;) ), seems this is like the old service on Orange where free diverts to O mobiles & landlines from your mobile years ago - Orange Everyphone ( no such luck they will bring that back ! Although business customers still get it !! )
