URGENT - Orange sim only deal

Hello! Am currently waiting for Orange to call me back, but I need some help please!

I've been an Orange PAYG customer for years, but have decided to change to a sim-only deal, and wanted to try and stay with Orange as I've always been happy enough with them and their signal in my university town is the best :o

I've just rang them up and put it to them that 02, vodaphone and t-mobile all offer 600 mins and unlimited texts for £20 a month, but their deals at that price are 200 mins and unlim texts, 500 mins and 100 texts, or 450 mins and 250 texts. The fella on the phone said that their Dolphin 20 was 600 mins and unlimited texts (despite their website saying it was 200 mins and unlimited texts), and that I could have that. He's calling me back as the connections department is busy at the moment.

So, has anyone else got this? I checked, double checked and triple checked he was saying 600 mins not 200 mins!!

Thanks in advance!

  • Dolphin 20 (at £20) is 600 mins, unlimited texts - they've told me this, too! It's an 18 month contract.

    02 or vodafone deals are much better in my opinion

    Better for price/minutes/texts? Can you give me some details, please. As I'm interested in a sim only deal.
    Thanks
  • Hang on, everyone. Let me clarify this.

    Dolphin 20 is a 24 month mobile contract WITH A HANDSET, that costs £20 a month and gives you 200 minutes and unlimited texts.

    Dolphin 20 SIM Only is a 1 month minimum contract WITHOUT A HANDSET, that costs £20 a month and gives you 600 minutes and unlimited texts.
  • Definately 600 minutes and unlimited texts on Orange SIM only Dolphin £20, tariff changed at beginning of month.
