About three years ago I took out an Orange contract for my wife. This spring she decided she wanted to upgrade her phone and went into the local orange shop. The girl there told her there was no problem upgrading, but because the original contract was in my name she would have to sign a new contract. Anyway, long story short, we got charged for the notice period on the old contract, as well as the cost of the new contract on the overlap. Many phone calls to Orange elicited only the same accusations as above: it was my wife's fault ... it was the girl in the shop's fault and the shop isn't related to Orange etc etc. Anyway, I persevered. If I couldn't get a sensible answer for whoever I was talking to I demanded to talk to their supervisor and in the end I got the charge refunded. Not, though, an experience I would be happy to repeat, and I wouldn't take out another contract with them. Oh this sounds so familiar. About three years ago I took out an Orange contract for my wife.

They should not be allowed to use the word 'mobile' in their advertisments or in relation to any of their products because they are simply not [edited] 'mobile' in any way whatsoever (unless you live in the centre of a city and even that is not a failsafe). They are a bunch of theiving corporate whores. My so called orange 'mobile' phone suggests that i have coverage, yet every time i make a call the signal coverage disappears as soon as the call is connected, only for it too reappear when the line has gone dead and cut off. It is not my phone because i have tried several different orange phones and they all do the same thing in the same areas. They even had the gall to send me some bullshit orange info text (which funnily enough seem to get through when no phone calls do) telling me that they have recently improved their signal coverage, i say BOLLOCKS have they. They even lie on their own coverage maps on their website. I work in the driving and transport industry and travel over 50, 000 miles a year covering a large area of southern england and the areas they say have a high standard of coverage on their website have NONE WHATSO[edited]EVER i can reliably assure you. My advice, steer well clear of these lying, money grabbing, [edited] all coverage giving, should not be allowed to operate as a 'mobile' (more like a static landline) bunch of [edited].

I'm a Vodafone NZ customers but I could roam on all 2G networks (due to VF NZ having agreements with VF UK, O2 UK, Orange UK and T-Mobile UK). At my relative's place in Hindhead, Orange had the best reception, followed by O2 and then Vodafone. T-Mobile had no service unless you walked outside to the road. On-the-road and railways coverage in Southern England also seemed slighly better on Orange compared with the other GSM networks despite Orange being a GSM 1800 network. I was expecting better from Vodafone and O2 since they was a GSM 900 network after all! Orange seeemed to have good service while I was visiting the UK last year.
