Orange price rise

[Dan_j1]

Has anyone had a letter through the post to say your monthly bill has gone up?
Surely they cant do this out of the blue? I agreed to pay a set monthly fee over 2 years and no more...

Is it worth a moan? Or do i just accept it?

 

[Deeg]

Have you read your T&C's?

 

[Knuckles]

Got a letter a month or so ago. Just got on with it tbh

 

[SBV116]

There shite anyway, and I am with them.

 

[J203425]

My GF had this. Your T&C's probably state they can increase the monthly cost by a certain amount, usually a percentage of what you agreed to pay. If the rise is more than this you can cancel without penalty.

 

[.LiamC.]

I got a letter too, but it was a rise in cost for the insurance. Which I'm going to cancel.

Can't wait to get away from Orange, really can't.

 

[Matt W]

Mine went up by 51p. I'll let them off this time.

 

[Lawro]

So glad i never moved to Orange, every customer seems to hate them lol! O2 FTW

 

[*Badger*]

Not had anything yet, but I'm on paperless billing, so maybe I'll have a message in my online account.

 

[Dan_j1]

Im paperless billing too, still got lettered.
Tbh, im looking for a reason for them to cancel my contract for a discounted amount.

 

[mitch1503]

yes received it today, gone up by 99p the robbing b******s but saying that its my mums contract i just kept it in my name from when i had it for a ex gf, i moved from orange to Vodafone as they were utter shite

 

[Bobby.]

Mines gone up aswell, not too fussed about the slight rise, it's the odd month when I get charged 20-30 more than I should that Really p**ses me off. even if I am partly blame

when my contract finishes I'm going to giffgaff, pay as you go ftw.

 

[SBV116]

My service is s**t, whenever i want to ring anyone I have no signal or get cut off. Utter pap.

"[h=2]Orange price rise"[/h]
Read this and immediately thought of TRADING PLACES!!! lol

 

[Dolan]

£1.31
It was 41 a month but for some reason its always over
Don't no how. Haha
I have unlimited mins and texts and 2gb of Internet.

 

[.LiamC.]

I've just got off the phone to Orange. I've cancelled my Insurance and also dropped my tariff down to £36 from £41.

I've also gained 1gb extra of internet and unlimited text/calls to T-Mobile and Orange for nothing, all because I'm under 24.

 

[DrR]

Exact reason i sacked off lengthly contracts. 30 days ones FTW.

 

[.LiamC.]

As soon as this is over in December, I'm leaving Orange and getting a SIM only, monthly rolling contract. It's the way forward!

 

[ben lee]

gone up by 3.3% from 10th april.

 

[-Danman-]

Mines gone up 58p a month. Not too bothered tbh. If it was an extra fiver or whatever, I'd be having words.

 

[richy22]

Im currently with Orange and will be cancelling on 30th April when my contract runs out.

Will be going onto GiffGaff and buying a phone outright from now on.

 

[Pep]

I already get 40% discount so I'll give them a bit back!

This!!! Mine is £31 with O2, unlimited,unlimited and 1gb which I never go anywhere near, and it comes in at different figures each month! :S

 

[Dan_j1]

I was at £41 a month, then dropped it to £36 a month and for some strange reason a £10 p/m discount has been applied?! So £26 a month plus my £1.60 price rise.
And still im moaning!

 

[CrippsCorner]

This!!! Mine is £31 with O2, unlimited,unlimited and 1gb which I never go anywhere near, and it comes in at different figures each month! :S

Again same for me... I was on £36 (before increase) and every month it's between £38-44 despite going absolutely nowhere near any of my limits.

 

[DrR]

This was reason I cancelled my contract from 02, i cancelled my direct debit, for the last 6 months i phoned them up every month and got them to explain why my contract was more than it should be, and got them to refund me the difference before i'd pay it.

 

[Adam.]

Haha same. Unlimited everything on iPhone for me works out at less than £25 a month. Yeeee hawwwww.

 

[Bobby.]

How are you two getting 40% off?!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

gone up by 3.3% from 10th april.

Maybe they have to put it up because of all the fraudsters our there that cost them money?

 

[Pep]

How are you two getting 40% off?!

The extra 3% everyone else pays is to give a select few a discount.

I'm with Tmobile as we know have joined forces with orange. Last year I had a letter front tmobile (now EE) saying that the monthly bill is going up due to inflation. b******s. Was £45 a month for Unlimited texts,calls and Internet and its now £40 a month after my renewal mg signal is s**t and very sketchy at the best of times only ever since they joined orange.

Is that this Full Monty thing they offer? Couple of guys i work with are on that and say its all well and good offering unlimited everything, but you can't get any fecking signal to use it! Lol

 

[Chapster5]

It's as much as I could get out of them with some extras to like 50 MMS messages a month, 1 hours worth of call time to 0800 numbers and so on.

 

[DB.]

I'd still rather be with T Mobile and have a small price charge increase with unlimited data, as opposed to O2 with 1GB data for the same price.

 

[Chapster5]

Well Tmobile do have there fair usage policy bull crap it's not affected if I'm browsing text based websites or Facebook but it will start to knock off my allowance when I watch videos load images and the likes if I'm not on wifi. I think the fair usage is like 1GB i think.

 

[DB.]

I'm with T Mobile and used 4 GB in two weeks, no problem. (When i signed up, I asked for that and they said the fair usage is more than you will ever be able to use).

 

[Chapster5]

Said the same to me mate, come the month after I get a bill through more expensive than expected so I rung them he said you used more than your fair usage policy. Oh really.

 

[DB.]

Lol that's unlucky. I've had it since September now and abused it quite regularly when away from WIFI, never been charged.

Although I do get charged 25p for picture messages when not sent through iMessage now, which I didn't on O2. Most go through iMessage or Email though.

 

[richy22]

IMO Orange/TMobile do not offer/try to do anything to keep customers anymore.

The "range" of phones is s**t now on Orange. When I rung up yesterday to see how to cancel my contract the guy said "We have the Nokia Lumia 920 that is a comparison to the Nexus 4" (I want the Nexus 4)

For starters No it isn't. Secondly its £45 per month. I explained that I was thinking of going onto giffgaff as over 2 years its over £100 cheaper to buy the phone outright and use giffgaff instead. I think his reply was "Ahh but you don't get the customer service like you do with us, you can call us up unlike them". Is that your best selling line??!!

 

[BatFastard]

I pay £1.85 a month for my Vodafone contract when I take in my £150 Quidco cashback and 30% discount a month. I get unlimited mins, texts and 1GB data. Can't believe some people pay over £30 for a contract per month.
