Orange Free 0800 numbers gone forever

I tried to call my override number this morning and got an Orange message telling me that they would charge me for the call so I supose my 12 month 0800 bundle is now up :eek:

Anyone elses bundle run out this morning?

I'm tied into my contract for a little while longer so will have to investigate other ways to keep my costs down. In the meantime I'll just have to make the most of my free 50 minutes each day :) Unless anyone can suggest how I could transfer to a more suitable Orange tariff part way through my contract?

    If its any help use this number 0200 222 0700 to call 0800/0500 numbers from your Orange phone. When you call the 0200 number it will be deducted from your inclusive mins.

  • Unfortunately as I'm on Everyday 50 my inclusive minutes are only available after 7pm so all daytime calls are going to cost me. Everyone will just have to cope with talking to me after 7pm!!

    Oh well, I knew it was going to happen eventually!! :)

    0800 calls haven't been free on Orange talk plans for quite some time now. :s

    Yeah I think mine ran out as well, two lines, one on orange 30 mins a month and one on Virgin - prob going to cancel my orange one now so I don't have a £10 bill to pay that I don't get much for..
    Thanks for confirming.
