    Does it cost to port?

    It's free and only takes a week. Don't forget to note down the previous Orange number so you can mention it when you claim cashback.

    Does any1 know what's happening with the problem of being billed £30 even though we're supposed to be billed £15 for the 1st 3 months??

    Is it being sorted?

    Steve - this was the deal that replaced the 12 months at £4.99 deal. Its a 12 month contract and the first 8 months are £4.99 then the last 4 months at £30. So total cost £160 against the original £60 deal.

    I would return it if it doesn't suit and go for one of the free deals currently available on the nokia 3120 or Motorola v220 from Mobileshop.

    I got a bill for £34.04, phoned Orange billing and the lady there set it that the next 3 bills will only be £15 and gave me another £15 off for them getting it wrong. So I am more than happy to have got the wrong amount on my first bill.
