maybe you should contact ofcom and see where that gets you? in their t&c's, it states nothing about a criteria you have to meet within the last 3 months. I also got told that in my first call but my contract now ends on 3rd september so keep trying.

Glad to hear that you got your contract cancelled.

These charges only affect you if you go over your inclusive minutes, no? So what if this person got out a new Orange contract with significantly more minutes, meaning the charges wouldn't affect them?

Thats not being greedy - thats just common sense. They'd get a new phone for free, probably a better deal and possibly a free gift.

Greedy, no. Clever, yes.

No. It's greedy. It shows the changes don't affect them as they could simply "up" their existing plan.

And anyway, how many people out there make calls consistently under 45 seconds in duration????? Not many at all. So the changes won't affect you anyway. :rolleyes:

What do you call a 300% increase in the minimum call charge? Big companies are always hitting people over the head with small print so they, and you, can't complain when people take revenge. Read the MSE banner!

You are greedy, simple as, if you're only after more minutes, then plenty of people on this forum have managed to haggle more minutes, you could have just said 'double my minutes and i wont cancel'. You chose to get out a of contract because of the t&cs, then sign up to the new t&cs that you were so against, and purely because you get a new phone. That makes you, and anyone else who has done the same, greedy, and there's no arguement about it

You know what, I was eligable to cancel, I was 6 weeks into a 24 month Dolphin 40 contract, I phoned up and said 'I want to cancel', and the guy said yeh fine I'll send your PUK, and instead of taking it I said I'd have £15 a month of my bill. Sorted. Do you not think that Orange are going to get the money that they've lost back somehow? It's gonna happen when legitimate users come to upgrade. And it's 'guess you weren't'. Learn some grammar woman

What annoys me is most people on here will never be affected by the changes. When you took out your contract you agreed to be with Orange for a set time. Ok they have put up their prices. If you can prove that it will affect you then cancel your contract. I met most people did not even know what the out of bundle call charges were till this came along.
