Orange Sim Registration

Judderman_2

Bought a new phone yesterday and decided to switch my orange PAYG sim cards over, however I'm dreading registering the new one, after the hassle I had last time.
I came across the orange booklet which said you could register your sim card online, and if you do so you can opt for the free text trigger plan, so I thought great, solves all my problems. Problem is, I've been trying for the past 24 hours, and it keeps saying the page has got a technical fault.

So my question is, has/does this work for anyone else?

It has always been problematic registering on-line. If you ring them up, they will transfer your old account/number/credit/settings etc. over to the new SIM as an upgrade, which may have more features compared to your old one.

I purchased an Orange PAYG SIM yesterday for £1 with the text plan (which arrived this morning!) and registered it no probs at https://www.orange.co.uk/activate

If you purchased it online, you just need your SIM number and the password you set when purchasing

Hope this helps

I tried the first link - which takes you through a number of steps before telling you that a technical fault has occurred, at least the second link tells you early doors without wasting your time, but both fail at the moment I had been on the phone earlier on and Orange couldn't help either!! So had been trying the online alternatives.. When I called they asked my name, which I gave and then informed me that they had technical issues and I should try in 10-15 minutes.. Unbelievable!!!

Can you explain please - the text plan?

I bought a sim by phone from Orange for £1 yesterday and that just gives £1 credit.

Thanks

Hi, bought £1 sim online, try to register SIM number on orange.co.uk/activate but keep getting We have not recognised this SIM number.
I tried calling 08000790006, but the girl there would not take my request unless I registered my phone!! The phone is mine, not theirs... I just bought the sim from them... She said she could not do it without the phone!! What a joke? Anyone else had this problem?

I phoned Orange a few minutes ago and managed to register a sim + port my number from T-mobile. I didn't have a phone to register though.:j
