    Tried to register in the Orange website, but during the process, I was told to enter a 4 digit code. I tried to call the 450 the customer service, but could not put throught ( we need to pay 25p for having the customer service? :huh:, had only 1p credit). So I planned to go to the store tomorrow to complete the registration, but got the message of topped up successful after 20-30 mins.

    I was told by Orange there are always 1/3 probability to get a gift or something when topped up, have no clue on how it is, but I get nothing for the £10 credit.

    And mine - I've just had to ring my company and unblock it. Apparently they'd done a credit check on the card (WHY, for a PAYG phone?) but not taken any money on it, so they blocked it. How moronic are these people? :mad:
    Hope is not a strategy.

    Me too.

    Although, I imagine they had a large number of sales of this phone in a short period of time.
