Orange PAYG

Got a new phone a few weeks ago as my old broke, never used the sim card yet though but today was up town and bored so phoned my mum, I found out about the canary system with free calls(though how much I get I dont know) this was around 6.30 and changed to it, around 7.30pm I phoned my parents but mid call the battery died.

after the phone was charged I checked credit.

I only have about £1 left! I never would of made the call if I knew it didnt work right away.

    You were told by the script monkeys/the annoying computer woman at orange "Please do not take advantage for this offer until you receive a confirmation text or 24 hours has passed" your own fault really, a call to customer care (LOL not very caring on PAYG unlike contract ;) ) you will probs be told the same.
  • Did you ask if the new price would start immediately or did you assume ?

    It was the automated service and it went "thanks, you now have free evening and weekend calls for the month" not that it would take a day or two to process or anything
