Comments

  • Through non orange phone shops (eg-the link, phones 4 u)the only identity required is a credit or debit card that isnt solo or visa electron, it should then instantly bring up a yes or no instantly when they type in the details, ASFAIK any further ID is not nessesary and if it is should be done by orange.

    Hi

    this will be the dealer requesting the proofs and not orange

    orange will never request photo id as a form of proof - and they always request original documents to be faxed over - scanned proofs are not acceptable

    pm me with your orange details and i will check out the result of your c/c

    been working for orange last 6 years and deal with referrals and credit checking daily

    'Orange are asking for 2 proofs of your address and one proof of your photo I.d. Can you please e-mail these to me or fax them to 08451303324.

    Kind regards.'

    Thats the email i got from buymobilephones.net plus i do not have any orange details, i am guessing you mean my account number?
