30 Free Texts on Orange PAYG

System

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?

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

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

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

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
