    Apparently - this works for one month and then Orange start to collect a monthly fee... I think it's part of the TRY package and it'll cost £2 per month after your free trial.

    i think this is a scam number, i received 4 txt messages earlier at about 11:40pm and they charged me £6. This is the only thing that i have sent a txt message to aswell.

    Out I interest I texted the number yesterday as I have already had the 30 free texts about a year ago but it worked fine again and today I got the text through confirming the texts.

    They wouldn't be able to charge me for receiving texts and there is less than £1 on my credit ;)
