Hey I psoted about this recently but am still stuck...

Scenario: Currently used all my 02 750 minutes anytime on the missus within a week LOL - she is on Orange PAYG..... I have an Orange PAYG sim.... is there a deal or anything that wouldn't have me pay obscene amounts per month to talk to her unlimited or near there... like 2-3 hours a night/free weekends something like this... I heard of the magic number thing... it literally is only this one orange PAYG i always call...

Please help...

  • Magic Numbers is not valid on that tariff.

    you will need to change to one of the existing Animal tariffs (you can change to any existing tariff so long as you abide to the migration policy in effect)

    the migration policy will be the following:

    a) same price tariff.
    b) same contract length (ie, if your on 12month contract, you must go on a 12mth animal tariff)
    c) same connecting channel (either Indirect, Orange Retail, or Web/telesales) - this depends on how you connected to the tarrif.

    You can change to this without re-signing your contract, so if your in month 9 of 12, you stay there.

    Only thing to do is see if it's worth it in relation to the price of the new tariffs.

    Then magic numbers will give you upto 3hrs of calls to your nominated Orange Number per day (this is fair useage policy) and the calls are anytime of day/week and do not use any of your inclusive mins.

    hope this helps,

  • sorry - thought you were on Orange EQ o2 750.

    Yep, orange PAYG sim, go on new SPEAK EASY tariff.

    Choice of tariffs include:

    Bonus Top-up
    Bonus Text
    Text Trigger (non magic numbers compatible)

    In order to keep magic numbers active on the sim, you need to top-up minimum of £10 in a month. Otherwsie you lose the speak for upto an hour for 15p (price of 1min)

  • Just !0 quid topup a month and you are allowed 3 magic numbers if you should want them. As the others say-up to an hor then redial the number! Nowt cheaper for you I think! You can use your tenner on what you like of course so make a few other calls also on orange as you wont be using the tenner on your wife!
