Are you having A POP AT ME ?
it seem's like it

As for my spelling don't worry about it NO one else is and plenty on here have spelling mistakes but i don't go pointing them out

Given that you are inaccurate in the basic spelling of your first language (and please correct me if English is not your first or only language), it doesn't inspire confidence in the accuracy of the information you're giving. That's my point.

Orange is part of EE running on the same network but the shops have different contracts
You cannot go in to T-Mobile and get the same contract as Orange or EE

In my town we have two EE shops One is for T-Mobile the other is Orange.

This is already changing. The separately branded Orange and T-Mobile shops are fast disappearing, leaving a single EE shop in each location covering all three brands. It's the same company and same network, just multiple brands.

No that's not your point i have noticed on here you try to be little people which is not very nice

you need to have some feelings whether people can spell or not
it doesn't matter

you always trying to be little people with your comments i suppose you are one of them with a chip on your shoulder

You shouldn't be on the forum if you are going to be rude all the time.


EE still as not changed yet so still different shops under EE network.

I'm not trying to belittle anyone. Spelling does matter and bad spelling causes you to lack credibility. Your audience will think that if you don't take enough care to use correct basic spelling in your native language, then you will similarly not take enough care to ensure accuracy in the information you're posting.

If I write something in a language in which I know I often make mistakes, then out of courtesy to my audience I use a spelling and grammar checker. Why do you get so offended when someone points out your mistake?

If you're going to contradict someone's correct information, at least get your own facts right and spelling as well.

Maybe not where you live, but in many parts of London and other parts of the country, unified EE shops have replaced the former Orange and T-Mobile shops.

Ok, I've just rang Orange to cancel. I explained my situation and the lady put me on hold for 25 mins :mad:

Finally got put through to a lady at EE who made no attempt to assure me that Magic Numbers are carried over to the EE network (so I think we can safely assume that they aren't) and said that in order to cancel the move to EE I would first have to put in my EE SIM to activate the move and then I would be sent out a new Orange SIM within 3-5 days.

I asked why she couldn't just cancel move there and then and she said that that was not possible, this was the only way around it, as the move had already been put in place so it had to go through before being moved back to Orange.

I asked for an email confirming my cancellation request but she said this was also not possible, she did give me her name and team number though so I had a record of who I had spoken to.

Seems like they say you can cancel within 14 days but then make it an absolute pain in the !!!! to do so.

I'll reply to this thread once I get sorted or if (more likely) I have further problems.

Its the way you say things

Do you think we should open a thread and see what the people say on the forum about spelling mistakes? most don't give a dam about them including myself

I come on here and read lots of peoples problems i don't care about spelling mistakes if i don't understand i will ask the OP again

Sorry but i was brought up to not be rude

I think you need to get your facts right

Sorry squavers for going on but NFH thinks he know's everything but all he is is rude and arrogant.

Lots of other people do care about spelling, and your lack of effort to spell your native language correctly annoys many people. If you continue to write in this way, then you will lack credibility and people will take you less notice of what you say. Please take this as constructive criticism.

I haven't been rude at all. Pointing our your factual errors and your spelling mistakes is not being rude.

This page confirms what I was saying and I had in fact checked it before correcting you, particularly with regard to Orange and T-Mobile merely being brands within the EE company. What on that page confirms what you were saying?

I don't claim to know everything, but I do make sure I have my facts right before contradicting others. It was your unresearched contradiction of my correct information that prompted my response above.

It's an internet forum mate. Open to anyone to read and post so please give the condescending advice a miss. As a fellow reader and poster I can make my own mind up about the quality of advice within a post - regardless of the spelling and grammar.

All you're doing is starting extremely cringe worthy, and entirely unnecessary, arguments.

Incorrect (as if your spelling of "companies"). Orange is a brand name of Everything Everywhere Limited, trading as EE. There is no economic reason for a number under an EE-branded contract to be excluded as a Magic Number for callers on an Orange-branded contract. All the brands (EE, Orange and T-Mobile) are running on the same network.

Ironically NFH misspells 'is' as 'if' in his earlier post.

Oops

antonic

I got the same call last Monday as well from EE (I have been an Orange customer for years), and the guy seemed really disappointed that I was quite happy with my current contract and didnt want to move to 4G despite having a 4G phone.

Having read these problems I am glad I havent changed !.

Oops indeed, although that was typographical, not spelling.
