    Bit of a delayed reply, but I go almost every week at the moment and always write the code on a post it and give it at the till when I go get tickets and never had a problem. And if they were ever to ask, I'd say my husband has the mobile phone on Orange and he's going to join me later on! They're not really that fussed as long as they have a valid code usually!

    Hope this helps!

    At our local cinema you can memorise and then recite the number to the cashier,they dont ask to see your phone.

    Any idea the best SIM for me to buy, I only want to use it for Orange Wednesday (we are all O2 fans:D).

    Does it make any difference?

    It all says £10 top ups. I thought Orange still did £5 top ups?

    You can get a free sim from here & also they will give £5 credit when top up with £10.00.
    Just make sure that you have a mobile that will accept an Orange sim card.

    Any film that they are showing I think
    If you see a 3D one I had to pay 2 pounds extra surcharge for that on top of the free ticket

    Right, DD has given me an orange sim with £10 on it.

    If I put it in my phone to get the code & then swap it back for my sim will I loose the text?
    Is the text in the phone or on the sim?

    Do I need a seperate (old) phone for the orange sim?
