My Mum is on it, the f*****s won't let me change, so I'm stuck paying £45 for 400 mins and 1000 texts.
Broadband is also good (well I haven't had any problems). That is with the wireless and the wired broadband. You need to have broadband already (not just a phone line), but am guessing you will have, lol.
Very good deal IMO.

I moved onto this a couple of month back, been spot on..... and now 4 of my mates (was at one last night setting up the wireless to his mac). One of my mates had BT offer him his broadband for 1/2 price when he said he was leaving. He said but its FREE so if you cant offer it me for free please cancel it. Orange are certainly onto a winner with this i think. They just have to make sure the network is upto the task (which it hasnt been for a few people).

One thing you need to be careful with this tariff.....
I've always used delivery reports with my texts but on Dolphin they cost you 1p each.
My texts went up from about 200 per month on my old tariff to nearly 700 on Dolphin costing me nearly 7 quid because of the reports.
I phoned up to complain I hadn't been told and they refunded it but I've had to turn off the reports. Shame coz they were handy.
Check your bills.

I switched from O2 to orange earlier in the year and they've been piss poor. Terrible reception, network outages etc. Luckily I didn't get suckered into a 12 month contract, so I'll be off elsewhere once it's up.
The free broadband cap is 2GB/mo. They've just introduced paid for "tiers" on their broadband (i.e "unlimited" - with fair use policy for £17 iirc), so I'd expect them to start policing the 2GB cap rigorously soon.
Sounds like a nightmare to me, 18 months locked into orange with both your mobile & broadband, shudder!!!!

christ that aint a lot. might be enough for missus at her place though. £17 for unlimited is a bit high too, we get that with Toucan for £21 but which also includes all uk landline calls unlimted.
sn00p are you still using the N80, if you are its not orange's reception that is bad, the N80 is just a s**t phone for using signal for some reason.
get an old nokia on orange in an area where your N80 has s**t signal and I bet the other phone has good signal.

Nah, not around here! Orange is just sh*t here!
My dad has the same problem with orange reception, he's getting very pissed off with orange now, he's been with them for 11/12 years and he's going to switch network ASAP.
I was in cowley yesterday and my gf was trying to send a message from her phone and it wasn't happening, she was getting quite annoyed - so I checked from my phone and I had no signal, so another blackspot!
I love my N80 now, it was annoying me a little before the FW upgrade, but since then it's been brilliant, apart from yesterday when the "AP Browser" thingy crashed and carried on running in the background and drained the battery in record time!
Unlimited = 3000 texts according to their fair usage policy.
Didn't know about the 1p report things - sneaky f*****s!

I am to hit it no matter what is! lol
182 has now gone!
I got this the other week, I upgraded to this tariff but got it for £30 a month and a free k800i.. Only cause I said I would leave orange cause they wouldnt give me the phone for free.

It's 1p per report. Something like 0.85p each but with VAT it's like 1p each.
At first the woman said they could not refund me the cost of all the reports but I kicked off saying I should have been told.
They then gave me it back.
