Anyone else being able to look up their Orange PUK1 online? Lars After 3 months i'm still trying to re-register my Orange email address i've had for ten years that Orange mistakenly disconnected. The Exec Office seem to have given up replying to my emails. See the new slick Orange ads? All i expected from a new CEO coming from a image making virtual network (Virgin), all image no substance. The exact opposite of Hans Snook, get the substance right and word of mouth did the rest. My new 3 contract, Nokia 6120 on 6 months of 300m&m for 15 quid p/m, is working out great. if Orange offered something similar, it would be called something like Rhinoceros 97 i.e. After an animal of no imaginable connection to anything, on a tariff number that's related to nothing to do with the tariff. But full of FT Oranges PR depts pretentiousness. The future's bright, the future's anyone else but FT Orange. (Unless you work (sorry collect huge undeserved amounts of wages) for Oranges up their own arse PR depts) Steve Terry Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor David M Guest Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 8:47 pm    Post subject: Re: Personal Unblocking Key (PUK1) from Orange your account Steve Terry wrote in uk.telecom.mobile about: Re: Personal Unblocking Key (PUK1) from Orange your account Quote: My new 3 contract, Nokia 6120 on 6 months of 300m&m for 15 quid p/m, is working out great. Hey, snap! I've just recently done virtually the same! (And my number port has just completed this afternoon, all perfectly smoothly!) OK, I went for 500 mins as I figured that once I factored in 50 - 100 texts a month I'd better make sure to have enough spare for talktime. And Internet Max too - which I'm busily abusing in a burst of new-toy-ness: I just hope the BBC don't pull the now-deprecated RealPlayer radio streams entirely, as they're ideal for phone use.. (Yow, Google Maps sure eats data, though!) Three deserve much kudos for their contracts, which, as I'm now discovering, make having a mobile *contract* exactly what it always should have been: reasonable prices (and a much better deal than PAYG even at the lower end), no need to worry about peak hours, or which network you're calling, no need to worry about voicemail costs, and by and large, no need to worry about data costs either. Anytime, anywhere: news, weather, bus times, train times, radio and music, That's exactly what the mobile internet is about. I get it now (figuratively and literally!). How did I ever manage without? ;-) Quote: if Orange offered something similar, it would be called something like Rhinoceros 97 Orange would probably charge GBP 40/month for something approaching the above. And have only half as many minutes, still no free voicemail, the data bundle would only be worth 200 MB, but you'd get a ludicrous number of inclusive texts.. And to think that if Orange were still able to offer me the exact equivalent of my Three contract through good old OVP, they would probably actually still have me, out of some misguided sense of loyalty and general network reliability. Ah, but they locked-down OVP, d'oh! Just how dumb can they get? Quote: The future's bright, the future's anyone else but FT Orange. Three *is* the magic number. :) (Mind you, we'll see if I'm still saying that in 6 months, of course. But with a 6 month contract, if I'm not happy by then, I can just port again..) Quote: (Unless you work (sorry collect huge undeserved amounts of wages) for Oranges up their own arse PR depts) That reminds me: I just need to remember to apply for an Orange PAYG SIM for my old phone so that I can continue to make use of Orange Wednesdays; that's pretty much the only thing Orange have going for them now.. :) David. -- David M. -- Edinburgh, Scotland. --[en,fr,(de) <-- corrections welcome] *Please remove quotes not needed for context and interleave reply text* *No-context, excess-quoted, slug-trailed, zero-content posts filtered.* Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Steve Terry Guest Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 9:20 pm    Post subject: Re: Personal Unblocking Key (PUK1) from Orange your account "David M" <david@bogus.domain.dom.invalid> wrote in message news:slrng7s60n.mv8.david@pepper.local.lan...

David. The saleswoman at the 3 shop told me she was looking to buy an Orange Sim for Orange Wednesdays. So i put her on to free ones at: http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/freesimcard up to 4 per customer I used to get Orange Wednesday for free on my Orange PAYG with Out Here, then they changed to charging standard text rate, and now it's 35p per text. Again Orange penny piching and loosing kudos Steve Terry Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Telecommunications Talk Forum Index -> Mobile Talk All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Telecommunications Talk----------------Mobile TalkBroadband  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Australian Debt Consolidation Experts medical insurance Wedding Websites Escort e Accompagnatrici a Milano, Roma, Firenze, Bologna, Padova, Verona, Venezia Swinger Kontakt Klub Accounting Talk life insurance Make Your Own Website Free phone calls to India Long island Cleaning service toxic mold UK Swingers Genuine Contacts Site cleaning supplies Vacuum Cleaner Parts 73 Attacks blocked Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
