    Racoon 800 mins/100txts/3000 landline numbers for old man @ 21.50 with HTC Touch P something lol, also he will be saving 10.50 a month with BT getting ripped out, porting across from 3 next week due to change of Mix n Match T&C as it works out really badly for him with loads calls under 1 minute - now he's quids in & up 500 x net mins & 3000 landlines & free incoming local number over Virgin cable BB via VOIP adapter

    Nokia 6086 600mins/3000texts @ 21.50 for me & only one phone ( well a BT, Orange Talk & mobile were just too much ) that I can call internationally from home walk out the door and continue to get it FREE over my mobile, including free calls to ANY Orange mobile/broadband/landline number

    Nokia N95 will be retired to my internet/email only phone on my other 3 retention 18 months deal of free ( think its ) 100 minutes ( dunno never use them ! ) with £10 GOLD X Series, free messenger & skype, 2GB internet usage which with the laptop on the train every other day ROCKS including my slingbox/ORB ( Slingbox & ORB ports/data is included on your laptop browser if you use the 3 sign in addresses from your handset ) which kills the commute, only problem now is getting a seat near a plug point cos 1st class even on my Disabled persons railcard AINT worth it ! :D


    Now still trying to get PAC out of my other 3 contract, two faulty 6288 later - they are offering any handset free on Mix n Match deals, or another 6288 on my Direct Talker1000 15.00 a month retention deal, sorry 3 but Orange deal trumped you ;) Thanks for the Slingbox though lol, nice with my other 3 retention contract totally now :D

    MSE has made me such a mobile saving WH0re, thats good though 4 years ago me & the ex's joint bill was anywhere from 150.00 to 600.00 a month on T-Mobile
    ( oooohh T-Mobile contract is up soon the 18 months 7.50 and free K800i deal
    now what can I score there T-Mob wonders !! & do I really need it anything now between Orange & 3 ? Dont think so, so....YES another 7.50 a month saving coming my way !!! ) PMSL...god im too good at this, too good for ya Telco's...are you listening ? NOPE ? your lo$$....MY GAIN :)



    back on subject............Orange
    note to all:

    sis 15.00 a month
    dad 21.50
    me 21.50
    me 5.00 8meg unlimited broadband


    63.00 a month on my Orange " one bill " - AWESOME !!

    Orange Business data plan £1 per 1MB
    Option Icon 7.2MB usb data card - 29.99, 0.00 minimum spend a month, 15.00 unlock fee.....44.99 - bargain !

    Come on 3 turn Turbo Broadband up to 7.2MB, this 3.6MB just aint enough and my Option card awaiting some power abuse on X-series GOLD, my N95 is getting worn out ;)

    Is this a true onebill? I had a BT fusion account with shared minutes and really liked the idea, but the bundles are pretty poor now and wondered if the other operators are doing it.
  • I think they can sometimes change the costs per mins and texts though, and offers dont last that long. With T mobile it takes a while to be a valued customer on PAYG to get good prices per min charges.

    Nokia N82 - FOC

    Racoon 35 Tariff: Normally £35 (In Store) £30 (Online) for £22 per month

    700 Anytime X Network Mins
    Unlimited Landline Calls 01/02 Numbers
