free weekend orange mob and landline calls on orange paygo

mm66

Just got a letter from orange saying that we have been a customer a long while (we have not) and so they are giving free weekend calls to orange mobiles and landlines for the whole month no strings attached. To get this text YES to 1221 by October 26,05.

The small print says to invited phone numbers only so YMMV

Hi there, I saw an advert in the Metro paper this morning - looks like it's been running since the 1st Oct. I haven't found anything about it in this forum so I thought I'd post it just in case people didn't know! (I didn't...)

I'm a bit of a newbie with forums, so sorry if it has been posted before...

If you've got an Orange PAYG phone (and use it...), you could get free calls to Orange mobiles. I couldn't find anything about Landlines though

I wouldn't rush out and get an Orange PAYG phone, but if you've already got one, it's a no brainer not to register yourself for this offer by texting 'evening' to 1133...

I don't put £10 on mine every month (maybe every other month), but it's nice to know that when I do, I will get free 600 minutes worth of free calls to other orange mobiles the following month!

Here's an extract from the Orange website terms and conditions...

The Free Evening Calls Promotion (the "Promotion") is available to:

new customers who purchase and activate an Orange pay as you go SIM or handset;

existing Orange pay as you go customers who upgrade their phone (subject to the pay as you go upgrade process), and;

existing Orange pay as you go customers who call customer services or text 'evening' to 1133.
between the promotional dates of 01/10/05 and 31/01/06.

Customers who top up by £10 per month will receive free evening calls (the "Free Calls") to use during the following month (subject to the fair usage limits in clause 7).

Customers will continue to receive the Free Calls, subject to the minimum monthly top levels, for 5 years from the date the Promotion is applied to their account.

Where a customer does not top up by £10 during a Monthly Period, Orange will send a text message confirming they are not eligible for Free Calls during the following Monthly Period.

The Free Calls are available to use in the evening from 7.00pm until 11.59pm, from Monday to Sunday. Calls made outside of these periods will be charged at standard rates.

The Free Calls include person to person calls to any other Orange mobile phone within the UK. All other calls will be charged at standard rates.

The Promotion is subject to a fair usage limit of 600 minutes per month. Once the limit of 600 minutes has been exceeded you will be charged at your standard service plan rates.

Why has the title of the post changed from contract to payg? Was it a mistake?

The title is supposed to be contract phones but it shows paygo despite my attempts o edit it. Probably the mods can do something.
