Faulty Orange phone

Hi,

Purchased an orange PAYG phone for my daughter last March from the orange store.

It has gone faulty - it keeps rebooting and losing her settings & ringtone etc.

What are my rights?

The store want £20 to send it back to Nokia for them to have a look/repair it etc.

It is within a years guarantee.

Many thanks.

    what shop have you been to?
    the only thing i can think of is when we send a phone for repair it says
    warranty (within 6m FOC)
    warranty (after 6m £15)

    carphone warehouse will repair for free and one near me is within 24hours. check if you have one with a repair centre nearby

    just for curiosity what handset is it?
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D
  • Not sure - it is a pink one - the same as Stacy uses in Eastenders LOL

    Maybe it was £15 - can they charge this figure?

    It was purchased from the orange store in Southend.
