orange 3p texts

[Deleted User] · 03/01/05 - 17:29

Hi

I have a payg orange phone with free weekend texts which runs out end of Jan 2005. If I get a new orange sim for £4.99 to get 3p texts for six months is it as simple as replace the sim and register it then get 3p texts? I assume i'll have to change my number.

Also will I get the other benefits for new connectors (i.e 30 free texts, orange world free for a month, etc.).

Orange wont allow you to keep your number. But if you dont mind the hassle, port the number to another network, then when that done port it back to a new Orange SIM

i've not done it, i had the weekend texts, they ended so bought a new phone and upgraded to get the 3p texts.

dont think they can do anything about you moving number away then back.

what im lookin 2 do is keep both sims. Is this possible (i.e. can i swap sims in the same phone). I want to do this because i still have free texting until end of january and also have talk saver (which gives me 60% off calls to my partners payg orange fone until august).

I dont mind havin to swap sims when wantin to call her.

Is is possible to register two sims on the one phone?

You'd have to get a twin SIM adaptor. Which allows you to use one SIM at a time

nope, make sure you dont damage the SIM's tho

the chances are that i'll keep the 3p text sim in, and only swap it over two or three times in a month.

will orange register two sims on one phone?

eBay.co.uk and it will cost from £2-14 from what i've seen and you just have to make sure that you buy the right one for your phone if your phone is compatible, if you have a nokia then you should be ok but otherwise you may be in luck or may not be for a sim adaptor.

Do you mean two sims with the same number?

[Deleted User] · 04/01/05 - 12:56

- 2 sims (one with my original payg number and talk saver plan, and the other with my new payg number with 3p texts for 6 months)

- 2 numbers
