    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
    guess you wasnt eligible to cancel then...........sour grapes

    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'.

    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.

    Surely it will effect most people that dial 08** numbers from their mobile, Which as I don't have a landline atm I do call on a fairly regular basis.

    I did say that if you were affected then they should allow you to cancel without any problems. What I disagree with is that its been used as a get out clause so that some people can get money off or just change phones.

    But after two phone calls today they won't let me cancel because I didn't make enough calls to 08** numbers in the last month. Even though I have made 65 calls to 08** numbers since January. Don't most people make the odd call to an 08** number now anyway even if it is once a year it is still going to affect them.
