Free minutes in first month?

Hi,
I just signed a new mobile contract with Orange on 10th June. There are 100 free cross net minutes per month. I made a long (50mins?) call on 11th June and recieved a bill on 18th June dated 12th June. They charge me extra £11 for the excessive call, because only 6 minutes of that long call were quarlified as free allowance for the period between 10th and 11th. I didn't know this before. I thought 100 minutes per month starts from the date I connected. Does anyone know where I am now? Should I pay the extra £11 + VAT? If they are right, does that mean you can not make any call untill you recieve your first bill? Becasue you don't know exactly how many free minutes left.:confused:

    All Networks only normally include a proportion of the inclusive minutes for a part monthly billing period. On Orange you can call 150 and follow the prompts to find out how many inclusive minutes you have left.
