Bl**dy rip off - Orange PAYG

MrSJC

:mad: Hi All

Just after a little bit of info. My daughter uses my old orange pay as you go account for keeping in touch with her friends and asking for the odd lift, she is only 11 so i dont think a contract is right at the moment. The other day she called her friend on O2 or some other network and was charged about 78p for a 10 second call!!! I think that robbery - what is the best tariff for PAYG and can we take the old number with us?

Thanks in advance Simon

Hello.

Give Tesco Mobile a try, the Value tariff sounds just right but have a look at the three tariffs they offer:

With regards to moving the number yes you can keep the same number, you need to get a PAC code from Orange. If you transfer your number to Tesco they give you £5 free credit. More info here http://www.tesco.com/mobilenetwork/help/?page=keepyournumber

Hope that helps.

Or try changing the tariff on the old Orange sim to a more up to date one.

This is a handy thread, considering the tenner I've just had go up in smoke on my Orange PAYG I think I'll be putting it into practice.

really odd, check with cs, either shes on a really old obscure plan, or there has been a mistake, if she changes to the new tariff (speak easy) its 15p a min to any network anytime
