I am going to order the £10 deal and am wondering when the first bill will arrive? and when is the DD taken from the account.

I have had a look on the Orange site but I can't see it.

    well the orange billing cycle is apparently the 15th of each month, and they bill a month in arrears, so if you order one now, i imagine your first bill will be on the 15th of september and will be for 1 month, plus the period of time from the order date to the 15th, which will be about 2 weeks.

    so your first bill will be a ballpark £15 i reckon.

    Perhaps you already know, but if you use quidco you should get a few quid back. When I got mine it was £20
  • Your billing cycle is account-specific. You can call 150 who will tell you your exact bill-date. Direct Debits are taken ~20days after your billing date.

    spot on Jason!! this info is exactly correct.
    i just got my first bill from orange on a dolphin 10 and the billing month runs from the 15th to the 14th of each month. i started my contract just into the beginning of the month so my first bill came to about £14.
