    And I thought i was the only one with Orange out here!

    Its great isn't it. I have been using it for about 5 years(at least!), changed my phone number also and still have the same 5 texts i got back then. The best £15 i ever spent. I'll probably still be using it when im old and retired!

    I got a call from a indian guy wanting to sell me a contract "How much do you spend a month??" my response was "about 5p-10p checking voicemails" his was "OK, goodbye!" :rotfl:

    I should top it up really -i can't remember the last time, as all i do is use the texts up!

    Hi.

    A few years back my husband and I signed up to an offer with Orange which gave five free texts a day for life. This cost £19.99, and I think the offer was called 'Out Here'. We did this for both our phones, both PAYG.

    Today, I realised I was being charged 12p for each text I have been sending, and so has my husband. I think this may have been since they changed thier PAYG terms and conditions recently.

    My husband is going to phone Orange and discuss this with them. I was wondering has anyone else had the same problem and are they likely to re-instate the free texts?

    Thanks.

    Just tested my orange out here. I didn't get charged, so maybe it was a computer error or something their end?

    I was relieved since I knew Santa wouldn’t lie to me ...

  • Make sure you DON'T change your call package as that will affect the five free texts a day.

    sadly I seem to have lost my mobile so can't even check if I have this text :o
