Anyone on Orange have this Problem?

Is it just me or does anyone else have the problem i have,

The problem i have is sometimes when people ring my mobile sometimes it will ring but most of the time my phone dosent ring and just goes stright to answerphone (asif my phone is switched off) and i get a Text saying "you have missed a call of this person at this time"

Ive rang Customer services twice and they have gave me two completely differant answers, The first time i rang i got something is wrong with the way my Voicemail is set up so i got a Huge code to type in to my phone. Second time i rang i got told something about Network Congestion. He said 6 out of the 10 masts in my area are congested.

This has worried some people who have tryed to contact me when something had happened. This dosent happened to my friends who are on other networks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    This has happened to me many times, I too have called CS but no real response given to why this happens. "You have a missed call alert" texts are really p****** me of late as I am waiting on few important interviewers to call me.

    Yep, I'm having lots of signal problems too...I thought maybe it was to do with the T-mobile merge? :S
  • All i want is a way out of my contract because of this problem and my Texts are delayed.
    Can i ask you something?
    Does this happen often and what part of the UK do you live?

    Yes, same happening to me for about the last month or so, texts and calls don't come through at time and all seem to come through hours later all together.

    Happens randomly, not everyday.

    Also have problem making calls, can take up to 10 attempts for it to actually connect the call.

    Annoying but i've not called up about it...figured it's a temporary problem as never had it before and just hoping it will get sorted.

    Had this problem for months on end: phone doesn't ring and calls go straight to voicemail, you cannot ring other people, texts dont come through and the phone cannot connect to the internet. Eventually, I cancelled the contract moved over to O2 and guess what not a problem since. I am now trying to get Orange to waive the cancellation fee. If you ask me, they have serious problems with their network and if I remember correctly, was reading somewhere that Orange are only in the UK to milk the market of every penny they can and that's it so this seems to confirm it. My advice, go somewhere else.
  • You know what.
    I'd love to move to another network (TESCO 12 MONTH CONTRACT FTW!)
    But i cant pay the Cancellation fee ://
