Keep trying. Many people had to try 3 or 4 times before they found a 'nice' person at orange.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.
Make sure the SIM is registered on the orange website first also. 0 -
Can people please read through the thread properly before asking questions as the same questions and answers keep coming up.
There are 9 pages on this thread which I started some time ago. I don't have any problems re-iterating something I have already posted.

May be a silly question.
But my SF arrived yesterday and, after initially not realising I had to activate the sim I did so today. But the top up I bought at the same time as the phone hasn't been applied. How do I appy it

I can't remember where I read it but apparently at some point in December Orange are doing 15% off all handsets.0

Play.com are actually selling the SF for £99.99 including £10 airtime credit on Orange.0

I thought I'd post this in case nayone anyone else has problems with credit not being applied.
If you tweet orangehelpers with your problem they will sort it out for you. Got my credit applied in a couple of hours doing that and saved myself the cost of a call.0
