    Just to post a word of warning, dont know if this applies or not. But I just read a thread abotu people on O2 being charged back logs of GPRS usage once they noticed the error!

    Thought I had hit the jackpot with this one. Actually you get a free trial using "WAP Services" (1 month I think) as soon as that expires you get charged a ridiculous rate per mb. I went from £14 credit to £0 in a few days. I will update this thread once I get the billing info from Orange, but the botton line is this "loophole" has been closed. :(

    The free trial in fact is not a month but you can use to a certain limit within 30 days, once you go over the limit you are charged, sorry I can't remember what the limit is :(

    Tenof26 i have the same glitch/error on my sim! :D I purchased Orange Out Here when it first came out when i was 16. I still have the same sim card and 5 free txts a day! Probably the best freebie ever!

    But i am in the same position as you, i never take up any of the orange offers for fear of losing the Out Here Bonus!

    If anyone has this and does try please let us know the outcome!


    I also got the 5 free tx's 4eva! Great deal, £15 and included £5 credit & a naff backpack! But the point I wanted 2 make is that I also get free calls 2 other oranges after 7 if I top-up by £10 a month!!

    <-- IF U HAVE THIS DEAL CHECK YOUR BALANCE BEFORE & AFTER YOUR CALLS AT THE TURN OF THE MONTH COZ IT CHARGED ME 4 A CALL ON THE 1ST OF THE MONTH BEFORE!!:mad: :mad: THE 2nd onwards was free again they just messed up!

    you cant have the 10% back of your credit wiv orange out here!:rotfl:

    Hi

    Does anyone know if the orange gprs servive can be used with say your laptop to access web pages/email etc. I currently use o2 to achieve this but if orange allowed this access it would certainly be better

    Thanks

    Been online with orange since december dial in *99# username blank password blank
    even without this gprs mistake, you can get a orange world day(24hrs) access for a £1

    Is this really true :-o

    I would love to try it out, but alas, im benifiting from another orange pay as you go deal/error

    Back in the day you could get "5 free texts a day" for a one off payment of £15, (at the time i signed up it was for ever, then it went to a year, and its meant to of expired :-/)

    So when you apply for this, does it work? and does it apply a sim update thing via text, as i dont want to risk losing my 5 free texts a day :-(

    The orange Outhear pack was spose to last for ever but orange decided to cancel everyone after a year.
    However this was illegal and orange got told (by trading standards i assume) that they couldnt cancel the deal as its was sold as a life long deal.
    mine still works on my sold phone :D:D

    really?
    i thought they got out of it, as it had "we can change the t&c's without notice" in the t&c's


    i actually have a spare start pack of it, which i kept as backup in case the deal ended after a year, i wonder if it still works, or how much it is worth now then :-/
