Orange are putting up the prices of calls for people on contracts from September the 1st!

http://www.bitterwallet.com/orange-increase-charges-can-you-cancel-your-orange-contract/15723

If you want out you can cancel your contract now free of charge and keep your phone and any freebies you had.

You can also transfer your number to a pay as you go sim if you wanted

Calls going up form 5p a min to 15p a minute

 

[DamoWales]

Haha! Cheeky,

So If i call them now and query the change in contract, does that mean I can finish my contract early? My contract finishes in September but i really want an Iphone/N97!

 

[Rob_]

Yes they have significantly changed the terms of the contract which means your entitled to cancel

 

[davo172]

if i took out contract now then canceled it in a month could i do this and keep the handset ??

 

[Rob_]

I think orange would cotton onto that scam

Worth a try tho lol

How long would it be until my SIM was cancelled and I was unable to make calls from my phone?

Could get a new Iphone straight from dialaphone today otherwise, 1200min & unlimited texts for £35. Phone free too!

Think it takes a few days to cancel, your best off ringing up mate

 

[Nigel]

Can your port your number when canceling?

 

[Feirny]

Done mine the other day as it's a breach of contract

[NOTE 28/7 - Bitterwallet reader Robert states has been told by Orange customer services the changes do not affect customers who signed up after June this year, so you may not be eligible to cancel]

It looks like a no.

I'm on Orange and haven't recieved a text but thats an outrageous price jump and i'm going to seriously look into changing my contract now.

[Andy.1.2-16v]

Woop woop!! early cancellation and IPhone 3GS for me it is then....

 

[bmh.01]

Hmm took my N97 contract out on the 28th June, wonder if they'll wear it.

 

[DrR]

lol Orange looses yet more customers to the mighty iPhone.

02 is the best provider IMO anyway.

Sorry buddy,

I think you'l miss out, someone took one out on 28th May and they couldnt!

Best of luck though!

 

[bmh.01]

Well i've never had a text about any of it if that bears anything to it, not fussed if I can't get out but got to be worth a try i guess!

 

[DamoWales]

Yeah, 150, option 1, option 3, option 4 IIRC.

Guy was alright about it, probably because i only had 3 months left anyway!

[riz]

my only issue is the 0870 numbers, as some are nto on www.saynoto0870.com

 

[DamoWales]

No problems buddy,

Nigel, I just said that I've recently recieved a text from them stating my t+c's were going to be adjusted and that i would like to cancel my contract with themselves as they've breached it. asked the guy how he was and if he was busy when i went through to them and he didn't give me any hassel about closing my contract down. I work in call centre for Southern Electric and if your nice to someone in call centre, they'l sort you out.

P.S. Rob, your a hero for that find!!

 

[bendee]

[Phill90]

Anyone know if there is any way to get out of it if you signed up after june, surely there breaking the terms of my contract also???

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Its all about o2, wouldnt go anywhere else.

 

[Nigel]

Just phoned I can terminate my account, they have also offered me my line rental down to £15 per month. The PAC computer is down though so I wouldn't be able to port my number at the moment.

Not sure what to do.

 

[bendee]

[bendee]

If you go over your minutes then leave, otherwise stay and get reduced bill.

 

[DamoWales]

+1

If they offer you a good deal it's not worth leaving,

My brother's going to call them later to see what they say and he's been with them a while so guessing they'l offer him something.

Call 150 off your mobile, ask about upgrades and say you've recieved a text about change in conditions and you'd like to cancel the contract with them otherwise.

 

[bendee]

but if theres a chance of cancelling getting a new contract and phone selling the phone for a few hundred surely thats better than 5 quid off a month

In that essence, yeah. But you'd have to do the maths for yourself!
