  • Just text FILM to 241 and you'll get a code back within minutes. Why don't you give it a go and see if it works? I've never had a problem but I make calls with my phone anyway...

    We tried to get a code on our PAYG Orange Sim Card last week, but it still hasn't arrived - mind you, the balance went down by 35p, which I believe is the "new" cost of getting a text ticket. As yet, I haven't spent £5 per month on calls, so maybe this is the end of the road for Orange Wednesdays unless you spend lots on calls.

    Yep, I think you're right. Tried numerous times over the last month and never got a single ticket. We've been rumbled :(

    i've never had a problem getting them, but then i've been with them a good while now & do spend more than the £5 a month. not on calls though, mostly texts. however, reading the updates t&c's, it looks like there might be a limit of ticket numbers now. with the school hols folk are probably getting in early for daytime showings.
