so without any facts or evidence you've decided to assume she was 18 when she entered into THIS contract.

now, remind me why someone with all your "legal knowledge and experience" is spending their days sitting around on this forum...........

I don't know to whom you're addressing your poorly expressed question but if it's to me, I haven't assumed anything: I was pointing out that others had done so unjustifiably, I'm recuperating at home from some complicated and prolonged eye surgery and I was assisting the OP to investigate how the girl in question could deal with the bill while (almost) everybody else was being nastily and unconstructively sanctimonious. :cool:

no. you are being a fool and trying to turn this thread into a "who can !!!! the highest" contest

even in this last post you have shown that you can't help yourself.

instead of trying to flex your e-muscles on every single post, you should step away from the keyboard


ps: i am addressing this at you leopard

I think everyone should calm down and have a nice cup of tea, or agree to meet up in person for a fight - this halfway measure of tit for tat posting is a bit dull.

Arguing on a forum is about as useful as tits on a fish

Arguing in a forum is profoundly useful. It enables the truth to be found, for the benefit of all, and it establishes the relative credibility of the participants.

That is why civilised societies have Parliaments and law courts.

I know she should not have used the phone abroad but surely orange should bear some of the responsibily for the size of this bill and letting it get so high, they at the very least should have sent her a text or something saying the the bill was at £x amount and was she aware of it.

No - she signed a contract with them and agreed to pay the roaming charges - it is not their fault that she did not check the call charges

Out of curiosity when I saw the huge amount I looked on Orange website to see how much does the roaming cost: £1.50 a minue from South Africa to UK!

This meanss almost 800 minutes !!! !!!!!! is someone thinking when they stay 800 minutes on the phone from abroad? At 18 she should know enough math to know that 800 minutes will cost a fortune!

So by her estimate of £200 it would have been 25p a minute - orange charge that on some of their payg packages for domestic calls so it is very unrealistic of her to estimate that

Arguements of text on website are pointless, serve no purpose & are one dimensional.
