Orange T&C's

I just got a new PAYG phone from the Orange website. I'm on 'Select 500' for £25/month and the upgrades they offered me were pathetic. So I got the PAYG phone, registered it, then swapped sim cards with my contract phone. Now, although I don't see a problem with this I thought I'd better check Orange Terms and Conditions to check it was OK. I actually did it as I was ordering the phone (as you should). Sorry to be long-winded, but now to my point,- The scroll bar seemed to be moving so slowly as I was reading them so I cut and pasted them into 'Word' There were FIFTY SEVEN pages !!! - over 30, 000 words. How the hell is anybody supposed to get through that much of Orange waffle (no comments about my waffle please) before falling asleep? As any Orange customer knows they will never win any of the 'Plain English' awards and most of it was legal 'mumbo-jumbo'. Are the other networks this bad?

Apologies if this should be on the 'Vent' board - I thought it better here.

    No problem, the handset is not part of your contract with Orange. I'm sure that nobody reads all of that crap anyway - I haven't anyway!

    I didn't read them either.

    And it enabled them to charge me £20 for switching to Vodafone 15 months into a 12 month contract.
