    what tariff u on?
  • Just started using 07744 / 07733 last month on T-Mobile Relax 200. Bill received - they're charging at 25p per min. Customer Services advises these are 'Personal Numbers' and are not included in free minutes.

    Just got this email from Orange. Is this a binding contract ? can they change their mind about it ?


    Hello Fergal

    Thanks for your mail about call charges.

    The number you mention will come out of your inclusive minutes as long as you have a tariff which includes cross-network calls.

    For your information, direct calls to American numbers are charged at £0.15 per minute at all times. This includes mobile numbers as well as landlines.

    We hope this helps.

    Kind regards

    Are you on Orange OVP Tariff where they match another networks tariff, this could be the reason Orange are allegedly charging in these cases.

    it is binding until they give notice to the contrary by changing the t&c's. The agent has ostensible authority and has bound Orange in your case.
