    F&F users have been calling 150 for about 2 years now. Internal Customer Services don't deal with them now.

    There is still a dedicated number for F & F. Used it about 6 weeks ago. Very helpful indeed.

    Today I phoned up and got my PAC code - I just asked for it. They asked why I was leaving and I said abysmal customer service and I've been paying for 3G broadband on my phone contract for 2 years I cannot use. They didn't even bother to try to talk me out of it. That tells me that they have a lot of unhappy customers jumping ship at the moment.

    Orange actually grew their contract customer base by 236k in the first 6 months of 2011 and their churn rate is at a record low 1.1%

    All handsets are blacklisted when in transit incase anyone steals them, the blacklisting should be removed once the handset is sold

    (That'll be funny for the rioters who nicked phones!)

    BTW, yesterday I tried to change my magic numbers, but there isn't an option to change them on the web site. I phoned Orange, and got to speak to someone who was very helpful and did the job exactly as I'd wanted.

    The number you rang is for internal customers (staff) - they probably just dealt with the call but should have directed you to 150.
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
