We had an outage weekend before last up Bash as Julies went off. Strangely, Voda share the mast and mine was fine.

I am bondi, I even got a new mobile because, I thought mine had gone kaput, the signals on and of like a bride's nightie

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I'm on Orange and just recieved my monthly bill. I decided to give them a ring to see what they were doing about crediting anyone who's service was down last week.

There was no fuss or argument from them and they credited my bill for five days worth - which with my plan works out at roughly £5. It'll come off my Jan bill as the Dec one has just gone through but that's fine.

I suggest anyone who was affected to give them a ring and get it credited.

You really don't have any come back Gayle if your on pay-as-you-go, I only have a mobile for emergencies and texting, I just happened that last Saturday when there were power cuts I didn't have a signal, suppose that's called sods law:(

Re: orange mobile signal
 

You could always have a spare sim for another provider ie O2 in the hope that if your Orange is down your O2 would not be. You would need an unlocked phone to be able to use either sim and make sure the credit is not time limited on your pay as you go sims. On some phones there is just enough room to put a spare sim on top of the battery and still get the cover back on.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

you don't actually need an 'unlocked' phone if you use a "smartSim", available for most phones for 1/2 teh cost of getting a phone unlocked.

:D

Re: orange mobile signal
 

The majority of phone's bought from carphone warehouse are unlocked anyway.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I didn't think that was so true any more. It used to be but I heard that teh networks were forcing them to be sold locked, particularly the high end models

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I have just bought one from them. He said most of their phones are unlocked. Saves having to stock 5 or 6 times as many phones.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

Orange and Voda normally brand their phones so not sure how they get round this. I'm not talking a little icon on teh case, down in teh actual firmware they lock them to their preferred apps and startup screens etc.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I think you are right with the new model phone thing as I know they do brand them. The one I got was a PAYG Samsung U600 and it is unbranded and unlocked.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I have a Sony Ericsson and have just got an LG, I ain't got a clue whether they are locked or not, I'm not a techno like you lot:D

Re: orange mobile signal
 

right i am off down to the orange shop tomorow to report my 6 days of no signal i am on contract with internet and mobile so i wont half give them something to think about tomorrow when i state my case in this day and age when out in car on your own your mobile is your life line.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

Well here i am again sick to the teeth of orange not been able to access my e mails now for a week on computer i have rung them up which costs a fortune on your land line .
They come at with with all this tecnical jargon which you have to have a GCSE to understand what they are talking about so thats me i am coming off orange and going with another server really fed up.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I had a problem accessing my BT emails this morning Marion, they said it was a tech fault but it right now

Re: orange mobile signal
 

just a quick comment, when orange and t-mobile merged ( im on t-mobile ) I was given the option of using the masts belonging to orange to improve coverage. Was this option not offered to orange users to tag onto t-mobile masts ??

:thumbsup:

Re: orange mobile signal
 

What was the technical jargon? I might be able to unravel it for you.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I changed from Orange recently.
When I phoned them (expensively) for a solution to connection problems, I got a rather untechnical answer -
"Your webbrowser needs updating":rolleyes:

Re: orange mobile signal
 

Orange have got worse since they merged with TMobile. I know loads of people that are leaving them in droves.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

Yes but only 2G

well if it was i didnt get the offer i just made the mistake of signing up for 2year contract never again i am off in april any sugestions of who i should go with will be very helpful i had to pay it man to come in my house last night to sort my computer out and what a good job he made of it he had it sorted in no time after i had spent a fortune on phone with orange to no avail i do have sky multiroom anybody on sky that would recomend them dont know really who to go with.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I would have signed with Sky a couple of months ago but their telephone system won't suport my emergency lifeline system, but if your already with sky I'd go with them

Re: orange mobile signal
 

I've been with sky for years and need it to be reliable for my job, its always been spot on for me, I do pay for the unlimited package as I use a lot of data when working from home though.

Re: orange mobile signal
 

How much is that Ian, can't remember how much they said it would cost me, but I sure it was cheaper than BT
