    I don't believe they charge to receive texts when roaming outside uk. Go to America regularly, use orange phone and have not been charged to receive texts or delivery reports.

    On orange new contracts they do now charge 1p for a text message delivery report. So not all absolute rubbish. This however will not affect existing customers on old contracts.

    I'm sure there are plenty more things Orange can chip away at to lose even more long standing customers. :mad:
