Orange Wednesdays: free vouchers?

Hi!

I'm trying to use Orange Wednesdays for the first time. Looking at the website it seems that I should be able to get the "ticket" for free, rather than having to pay 35p for the text ticket. Do do this on-line the website says:

"Go to Orange World, select ‘Film’ then ‘Orange Wednesdays’"

I can't find this free "ticket" anywhere! Is it possible?

Thanks!

    I think I read on their website once that rather than texting Film to 241 that you could phone 241 instead and I think that is free.

    OK, will try that - thanks for the response!
  • The call to 241 is FREE. To receive the text costs 35p.

    In effect, you get a cinema ticket for 35p, which whilst it isnt free, is a very good deal.

    Thanks for clarifying! Agreed - a good price for a ticket. The formatting of the information on the Orange web page made me think that there was a way of doing it all for free but if not, I won't complain at 35p.
  • My dad has a company phone on orange so he get them for completley free lol
