Magic Numbers on Orange

Hello,

I'm currently on Orange but thinking about move to an EE contract when the new tariffs are revealed tomorrow.

My partner is on Orange and will be staying on Orange.

We use each other as "magic numbers" as we use the phone a lot.

My EE contract would have unlimited minutes so that'd be fine.

But in the other direction, would she then have to use her minutes allowance to ring me, or would I still be one of her magic numbers?

It's an important deciding factor in the switch.

Thanks for any help :)

    When I moved over to EE I lost all my magic numbers but my friends kept me as their magic number. I imagine if you change your number they will lose you as a magic number. I used to get texts when I lost a magic number.

    I would get something in writing from Orange or EE, because there have been lots of conflicting stories on this, and if they don't bill you in the way they describe, you'll need some kind of redress.
