hiya all

im being told that orange do not offer their customers a capped /limit reached service only that t mobile part of their group do

does anyone have this service on a orange contract pls>?

or was it ever offered to you on any of your upgrades

im feeling a bit suspicious and i would like my dd mbi capped as i cannot afford over 100 pounds bill s

or if anyone has had a fab new contract with anyone with a capped service linked to the mobile contract pls let me know would really appreciate it

been a long standing customer of orange for over 12 years i think i need to look at my familys loyalty to get the best deals for us now

cheers have a fun day all maz;)

    I've never heard of capped contracts at Orange.
    I wonder what you are getting for your loyalty that stops you from switching to, say, t-mobile.
  • Quite why anyone is still on Orange is beyond me. They ceased being value for money tariffs quite some time ago. A friend of minewho has been with Orange 2 decades rang me yesterday because he's getting annoyed with them and was in disbelief that he could get a contract from Three with more minutes, text and data than he currently gets for £25 a month less.

    Thank you grumbler - i did state this with orange today that if i moved to t mobile but i was told i would need a brand new contract so i will look into that and others for sure -

    Thank you too Notmyrealname - i too have got to end of my patience with them and was looking at 3 too and they do capped as my dd friends on it so that would also be very helpful

    i am going to take time out over the weekend to really look into the offers and check out when our contracts are due or when i can get out of the contracts at the very earliest too

    like you say i need to really get to grips with this now and i have to check out all the options, we have broadband with orange and free calls to eu countries for a 15.00 monthly fee which is good for us as we talk lots and lots to family abroad, but the mobiles are really costing us each around 35.00 each for 3 of us and thats when dd doesnt go over her mins, which she did this last month and my Budget went out of the window this week - arghhhhhhhhhhh:eek:

    so thank you both for the kick up the backside so to speak, thanks for your time in replying fully appreciate it have a fun day maz

    Tesco Mobile do capped tariffs too (AFAIK they cap any tariff if you ask). Also, Giffgaff is worth checking. It is PAYG with some 'goody-bags'. Both use O2.

    Can you not call from a landline? You can call for just 1p/min through, say, 18185 (£15=1500minutes=25hours), or even for 0.5p/min via 0844 access numbers: http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/
    the mobiles are really costing us each around 35.00 each for 3 of us
    £20 will give you 800 minutes at giffgaff, £25 will give 1300.

    I wish Orange did do capped - just had a bill for £380 :eek: for 2 phones. Yes I know its my fault and I can pay it but I could do without it!
