Orange and smashed screen

you will have to pay to get it repairedDon'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.0

I realise that, question is will orange do it for me or do i have to go to HTC which the process will take significantly longer with all the sending it, receiving quote and then them doing the repairs.0

I'd think Orange will just send it to HTC any way. They have no repair center themselves.
So It would be quicker for you to send to there and cut out the middle man, as it were. . .0 -
Or try a local independent mobile phone or mobile accessories shop or stall. Most offer repair services. I had the screen on my HTC Desire changed while I waited - took about half an hour.There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.

So from what i understand the One X is an absolute pain to repair the screen because it's curved. In addition I'm worried that future problems with it will be blamed on that by Orange of not repaired by an official certified place.0

warranty is void now anywayDon'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.0

If you take the phone to an independent phone shop to get the screen done, you will pay less than a proper repair, but will void any further warranty on the handset. If you get the repair done by HTC/EE you most likely retain your warranty as you have gone through the manufacturer. Depends if you want to risk having no warranty should something just break down on the handset further down the line.

Ex money nightmare, learnt from my mistakes and never going back there again, in control of my finances for the first time in my adult life and it feels amazing.0
