Orange - Getting the Info you need

Hi there,

Been lurking for a while and seen some people get really helpful advice so I thought I'd give it a try.

I've been a bit silly and have several mobile phone contracts with Orange under my name but for friends(Yes I know I know), and all of them are now in arrears. How do I get the info from Orange as to how much in arrears they are, without knowing the phone numbers in question? They are all registered to my address, would that help?
I want to get them all frozen so I can sort out getting them paid without more arrears being accrued - How would I do this, is it possible? I've tried emailing Orange, no response, and all their phone numbers are Premium Rate that I obviously don't want to have to phone from my Pay as you go mobile.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

    I know this is going to sound like an obvious question -but aren't you receiving statements/bills every month for each phone? Don't they show the numbers and balances?
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
    or "It costs nowt to be nice"
  • go into an Orange retail store and ask them to put you on the phone to customer services.

  • Tixy - Well I say registered to my address, but I mean my parents. Unfortunately we are not on the best of terms, so asking them isn't an option :(.

    Prettypaula - Thanks, I'll try that!

    if you know the account number / 1 of the numbers signup online
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
