Having had the phone for 3.5wks I have been confident enough to remove the Orange software and add applications (apps / software programmes) that allow me to watch tv / play games / etc)
Does cost anything to watch tv on it? or does it eat into our allowances? :cool:No reliance should be placed on the above.0 -

However, watching TV over the data connection can be very costly, it can use a lot of data very quickly and you could soon go over your allowance! Be very careful if watching TV this way, unless you are on a truly unlimited internet data plan from the likes of someone like GiffGaff.

i phoned them direct. (the number is on the orange web site)
i already had an old sim card that was last used 4 months ago so i said that i wanted a new phone and could i still use that old sim card. no problem they said. "what phone would you like?"
he then told me the price would be £109.99
i told them that my friend got 1 2 days ago for 79.99 he went away to check and then just said that he could do it for 78.99 inc £10 top up but he couldnt do it any less as id only put £30 of credit on my old sim in the last year. well i didnt argue with that but i did have to ask for my free xmas gift..lol0 -

if you read through previous posts you can go buy a sim card then go home and register it then ring them and you still get the same deal.
i saw orange sims yeasterday for 75p so its well worth getting one and trying which is what i was going to do.
my daughter has lost the old sim card but i remembered the number so the man i spoke to said he would send a new sim card using the old number.
the sims were in The facory shop for 75p and i think they have them in poundstretcher and home bargains too.0 -

If you were referring to me then I apologise but I missed that bit of info plus after going out & getting a sim card etc I then rang Orange who told me that I had not held the sim card for long enough & that they were now looking at people having the card for at least 3 months & had actually used it before you could get any kind of discount !
Things change so sometimes something new comes up so the question is worth asking again.
ps. I did ring back to a different advisor & was told the same thing.0
