Orange have now bought out Wannadoo Internet services and are now offering broadband FREE with contracts on Orange over £30 per month.

They got some brains going on in there or what.

Oh, and they do free cinema tickets.

I personally think thay are taking the scene by storm and are at the top of the list of cell providers in my opininon.

I've always been with orange but i wont be going back to them after this month! They have gone to the dogs since being taken over by FRance telecom imo. Much better providers out there!

Im with t-mobile for my mobile phone, all i do with that is txt basically and call only in emergency or when i really have to, otherwise i wait till i get home, txts are 3p to any network so i dont think id get any better deals than that on pay as you go?

And my internet is/was wanadoo but its changed to orange last week so we'll see

It's Czech Mate

Fact - T Mobile are the best provider by far, look at their last years growth and current market share

I dont like Orange but i worked for them for nearly 3 years so thats probs why i dislike them so much ! LOL

I'm on 02 and happy with them.

DanS

Orange are french...... end of

O2 are the best bla bla bla

COMEDY DAN

O2 seems to be the popular one so far.

BlueSmoke

O2 for me. Orange are fookin useless in my experience, and their pricing was always out of line along with their signal being shite.

This was my experience about 5 years ago mind, but it put me off enough to have never gone back.

Edited to add: I did consider going back with them and giving them another chance a couple of years ago but the daft coonts wanted a £300 deposit to take out a contract with them whereas O2 didn't want anything of the sort.

Just binned Orange as they were expensive and the signal was none existant at work and poor at home, in the cinema, at the girlfriends, at my mates.. everywhere infact

On o2 now and so far so good

COMEDY DAN

I am actually on O2 and will be staying on it as I hate a change

I have heard these sort of stories before on Orange, regarding reception etc but it looks like they investing some time and money and doing something about it.

Orange have always been France Telecom havent they?

Wierd really, as i have NEVER lost my signal on Orange anywhere in teh world. Thats why i stay with them. Maybe their performance is better with certaion phones recievers. Ive ALWAYS been with a Nokia.

like Stu, never lost a siignal with orange anywhere.. Was with them for years. Then I wanted a FREE upgrade and they wanted loads of money for the specific phone I wanted..

So O2 gave me the phone for free, and also a better contract

just to add..

I dont get delivery reports for Texts on O2 turned the setting to get delivery reports on, but still nothing

Jonzy

Westy: put the code *0# at the start of your txt msg. Youll get a delivery report for that msg then. Recpient wont see the code.

Ive personally gone from O2 to orange last week, o2 offered me a better deal but fucked me about so much when it came to actaully setting the contract up that I left. Orange was the next best. Nokia n80 rocks

It all depends on where you live or the areas you are frequently in Stu. I recently changed my V3 for a Sony W810i and the reception went worse!

When I was at uni with Orange, I couldn't get a signal at my house no matter which phone I tried but my mate on O2 could

I hate mobiles anyway so it didn't bother me too much

Orange lovers are catching up

Frogford

I was with Orange for 11 years but got so narked off with poor signal/ expensive bills and rude/unhelpfully Customer Service that I switched to O2. Have been with O2 since August and have had no probs whatsoever !

Fiddy

got to agree, ive been with orange for years, the last couple of years they have gone to the dogs, they customer service is rubbish, i know a good few people who work there and even they say they have gone to the dogs, and that coming from there own staff cant be good.

Jemma

Rarrr! My bosses email was down on Thurs when they were changing over.. guess who got the ear ache!

I'm with o2 so dont know what there like as a mobile operator

i was with orange for 6 years, service was good, never lost a signal anywhere reasonable, i changed it to a business tariff and they just turned to shit come upgrade time, always had nokia phones and not the all singing and dancing item, all i need a a smallish reliable phone for calls and text, i dont need it to fookin dance a fookin jive when it rings, dont need it to drive my fookin car for me or surf the fookin net, so we are talking basic phones, ( i have two on contract) i spend approx £60pcm but they wanted cash for all the uprgrades bar the fookin old donkey phones that have been out for years ( they wouldnt even give me a 6230i ffs)

so i changed to O2, .................................................. ...................... probably the worst telecomunications move i ever made, fookin shit.
shite service, shite customer service, had to contact them 20 times within the first week of my contract starting just to get the phones on line. never again, when it runs out i will be looking again.

I had a similar experiance as you with o2 , changed from orange to o2 and had to ring them loads in the first week and the customer service was utter shite ..cancelled the contract and went back to orange and thats where im staying

I have an O2 phone and an Orange phone.

My Orange phone is by far the better of the 2. I have never had signal problems ond only ever lost it when I went out into the midle of no where (and I mean it was inbreeding and axe murderer territory!!).

The O2 phone will lose it's signal if I walk from one end of the room to the other. Absolutely useless at getting the phones actually connected to their network.

Stu, Orange were only bought out by France Telecom about 5/6 years ago.

roybacer

02 all the way

Been with them for 4 years now, never had a problem at all, very rarely loose signal, and there prices seem to be about average.

D.K.

Ive tried them all, got well p****d off with orange though as they sent me a bill for over £400 turned out to be a mistake in the end but christ that took some prooving that i didnt rake up the bill

With O2 now and i cant fault them.

COMEDY DAN

So its fair to say, O2 then Orange and they are pretty level pegging...

O2 all day long!!! Been with them for years & years now - had about 6 phone upgrades at least - recently swapped to a £45 / month contract after my bills where always £100+ per month - now my bill never exceeds the £45 monthly charge....except when I go the Nurburgring!!!!

glenis

Orange all day long

Been with O2 and they are shite, and more expensive.

Always had a Nokia on Orange and been absolutely fine anywhere in the country.

Not moving elsewhere.

COMEDY DAN

Orange are nearly taking the lead...........

Nessie

I got to say 02 are better than orange i,ve got fones on both networks and use my 02 one a lot more because its a lot cheaper

TrevCannon

Actually... lol orange is fooking shite like fooking usless! ooo & like the idea where YOU have to have the answer fone while ringing! OMG that drove me fooking crazy!

So i converted my numb to o2 not all that long ago as i got a good few sims under me bed

10p? i have to top up 10quid every month for them

rs_daz

I have also just discovered since moving from Orange to O2 I now get a signal in the gym too, so I can organise my social life whilst doing cardio instead of leaving the gym to find missed calls and having missed the evenings activities

COMEDY DAN

The first time thay have been mentioned...............
