  • 12 months left with them, first time ive tried orange, will be the last too.

    but look on the bright side i may have 12 months left with them, but they are going to hell for eternity !
  • Just got my text message too - I just asked my boss for a payrise as inflation is at an all time high etc etc as per the bleurb on the Orange page he just laughed at me :(

    I'm just pleased that my son who was on a very expensive Orange contract decided not to upgrade with Orange last month and has instead gone down market a bit for a cheaper phone on a cheap Tesco contract. He decided that this was not the time to be running a £40+ contract - I bet he is glad he decided that as they had been only offering him 48 month contracts.

    It;s only me now stuck on orange

    MSE Guy, is it possible to merge all the current threads onto this thread as it would be good to see all the posts together

  • There comments are disgusting

    It stinks of we can do what we want to do and stuff you for being loyal!!

    Surely it can't be legal to raise monthly prices and tell people they are locked in with no other options and there statortoy rights to leave when we make any changes are not allowed to be used!

    Prob not but you could try phoning orange and reducing your plan. Or sell the iphone and stick the sim in a cheap phone.

    I wonder if customers could get away with paying Orange less every month if there was to be negative inflation...

    My guess is no.
  • To those saying that the rises will be applied pre-discount - wouldn't that effectively mean that the price goes up beyond the official 5.4% inflation measure, thereby allowing you out of your contract?

    Or rather, I can't see it being applied pre-discount as there's too obvious a loophole.

    I wonder if these changes are going to affect T-Mobile customers too, since they're both part of the Everything Everywhere umbrella.
