    I dont think they do as I didn't notice any check on my report last time I renewed.

    6220 is a N95 without wifi, smaller screen & better battery life, as for 8GB buy a micro sd card 8GB for approx £13 on play.com or amazon.co.uk with free delivery

    £20 loyalty off is off any priceplan after acceptence, change to Panther 45 websave @ £40 before the following months bill date & get 1200 X net mins, 500 texts & a choice of unlimited texts, Orange mobiles or landlines

    I took Dolphin 35 600min/unlimit texts @ £35 a month discounted to £25 with 200 xtra mins - I forgot to downgrade after 9 months & in month 11 I moved to Dolphin 20 & kept £10 off = £10 & I also kept my extra 200 minutes, 400 mins & unlimited texts


    you can upgrade to a more expensive animal plan & keep your £20 a month discount, downgrade in month 9 ( 50% of contract completion )

  • I rang up on 4/12/08 to give 30 days notice to cancel my current contract as it is to expire on 05/01/09. I also asked for my PAC code at the same time and the man said he would sent it out to me.

    I received a letter saying my phone would be disconnected on 5/10/09 last week but haven't received my PAC Code. It also said they would give me a current deal new customers were getting, some loyalty offer there!!!

    I called Orange asking why I hadn't received my PAC code and he said it was because I had asked for a disconnection. I told him the his colleague had told me he was sending it to me and he said we can't its either one or the other.

    So I then asked would I be leaving Orange on 05/01/09 and he said yes so I replied well by law you have to give me my PAC code so I can move elsewhere. Suddenly he found it on the System and is sending it out to me.

    I just want to know have I got something wrong here and was he right? I always thought you could request your PAC code while you were in your contract to move elsewhere?

    Thanks

    yes but giving notice or requesting PAC is the same - it closes the a/c you have - do 1 or the other ( and use the PAC or a/c continues on )

    You can requested your pac and when you use it your current contact is ended.

    If you ask for your contract to be terminated, after 28 days the contract ends and you lose your number.

    You can't ask for both, it's one or the other. . .
