My wife had her Services Block with Orange as a Payment was overdue and she is paying it tomorrow online or By Phone but would like to know how long after making the payment does it take for her phone services to Go back on?

    It depends really, it can be almost straight away but can also take up to 48 hours (from experience). If you ring and make the payment and enquire about the amount of time it'll take to unblock you I usually find it happens more quickly
