0207 phone number

UPDATE

They called me up this time it was a diferent named company from 0207 209 5789. - they never said they were from orange not at any point on this phone call nor the original one i made to them.

the free camera phone is subject to going on contract sounds like a good deal for about £12.50 if i heard correctly i cant remember how many mins text etc that you get.

I dont know if it is a scam certainly by how they obtain your telephone number surely this cannot be legal?

i think they are sending this message to pay as you go customers judging by what jonathan said earlier about topping up to try and get people onto contracts as this how companies make their money, certainly in phone shops they have targets and the lucrative ones, are contracts.

you may get a better deal on the high street wheere you can talk to them face to face and get what you want.

i recently made two mobile phone purchases the latter i got £10 free credit as the sales advisor failed to tell me about phones 4 you policy of charging £20 credit if you pay cash, or £10 credit if you pay by credit/debit card, they claimed it to be something to do with fraudsters and security but this is rubbish in my view as people wil just pay the £20 air time instead.

Anyway because they didn't tell me about that the manager overheard me talking to the advisor and she authorised £10 extra free air time on top of the other £10 compulsory air time credit.

I just received the text and I am on an Orange contract, so it looks like it is not just isolated to Pay as you go customers!

I got this text today on my t-mobile contract sim Granted, when i got my very first mobile, in oooh 1998/9 it was with Orange and i've kept the same number ever since, despite not having been on Orange for at least 4 years, if not longer.

25th October 2007 I got a message on my O2 mobile

"Orange Customer, you may now claim your FREE CAMERA PHONE upgrade for your loyalty. Call now on 0207 153 9153. Offer ends 26 Oct. T&C's apply.Opt-out available"

There is never a free meal...anybody know what the catch (Scam) is?

Yup age old scam they tell you that you can get a free upgrade, they then tie you up for another 12 or 18 months.

It's doing the rounds again:
'Orange customer,you may now claim your FREE CAMERA PHONE upgrade for your loyalty.Call now on 0207 153 9996.Offer ends 2nd Nov.T&C's apply.Opt-out available'

Might be worth warning friends and rellys - of course MSE'ers won't get caught out!

I'd be surprised if it was genuine Orange, I'm a Vodafone customer and got the same text. I've never been with Orange.

Hi Just to say I also got this slammer message today asking me to ring 02071539153. Hope that anyone doing a search on this number gets this forum as a result.....

Got this sort of text today. I've only had the contract for a few weeks and have not signed up to anything with my new number which begs the question - who gave them my number?
