  • Just for the record, after the way I was treated by Orange CSR, whenever the time arises for me to review my options regarding either up-grading my phone or moving to a new service provider
    I WILL DEFINATELY NEVER CONSIDER GOING BACK TO ORANGE
    THEY CERTAINLY DO NOT VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS OR TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT.

    Nuff said, innit

    sorry for shouting!!! lol

    I have a question for Orange Rep:

    With my latest Orange Bill there is a page which informs me that from Oct you will be charging £1.47 for each bill.

    However I have the option of receiving online bills free.

    Can you tell me does the online bill have the same apperance as the bill I get through the post?

    I ask as I need bills at certain points which I send off for Cashback Claims.

    Thanks.
    I am NOT a mortgage & insurance adviser - or anything to do with finance, that was put on by the new system I dont know why?!

    Agreed! And im sure many others feel the same! Terrible service, C.S Staff taking things too personally, ok, they were doing as they were told, but theres ways to go about doing it with respect and politely!

    No, the changes are not going ahead, therefore no-one will be affected.

    I am sure you are aware of the COMMUNICATIONS ACT 2003, which states'Any proposed Modifications that are not agreed to'

    We didnt agree with these modifications, yet we were given 30 Days Notice of the PROPOSED changes.

    Example
    Someone who got a text on the 3rd of August and was then told today they were not happening, HAD 10 Days to terminate their contract under the above ACT, BUT they were not allowed their right to exercise this.

    Dispite there being notes on their account stating they requested disconnection.

    I am sure you are aware this is a breach of the above ACT and therefore anyone who has notes on their account between the text and todays date are still LEGALLY entitled to cancel. THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED INTO AND I HAVE HAD THIS CONFIRMED.

    So please can you give us a Statement on this Point Please.

    Many Thanks

    I dowbt it, I rang up this morning and was told by the customer service rep that although I call 08 numbers because the calls were longer than 30 seconds I am not eligable to cancel as I will not be affected by the change

    Which I don't understand at all :S

    As surley if the prices had of changed and I continue making 08 number calls I would of still been getting charged more

    They told you bullSh*t. Everyone is eligible to cancel and many has which is the reason for their u-turn. It seems that mobile operators are increasingly changing the terms for their benefits recently, virgin was one. I cancelled without problem with a year of contract to go on virgin.
