Just logged in to my account to see what tarrifs are on offer because i am thinking of changing mine and noticed above each plan type it said
"Dolphin - unlimited weekend texts"
"Panther - your choice of weekend benefits"
"Racoon - unlimited weekend calls to landlines"
Dolphin has always been unlimited texts, and panther i believe has always had a choice of unlimited benefit, but neither have ever been weekend only before.
If Dolphin unlimited texts goes to weekend only and if i lose my unlimited internet i will be seriously hacked off and will buy myself out of contract. I don't care if i am a premier customer or not, i have been with Orange for 4 years now and always renewed with them.

Any of the benefits you get shall remain until you renew or upgrade. Clearly the information that is given on the Your Account section is wrong, it still reports me being entitled to unlimited weekend texts and I am on a 12 month contract.
I hope they're not removing the unlimited benefits as i like being on Orange due to the benefits i'm given

It appears they are trying a big push towards 24 month contract as i noticed that only the more expensive 18 month contracts were on show, you had to click a small link to see the cheaper 18 month deals.
The new 18 month deals are lower value for money compared to the existing ones in my opinion.
I think you're right, and for this reason I think it's very unlikely the changes will apply to existing customers.
The new price plans launched today in retail, though direct sales maybe different. As for value the tariff propositions have been tweaked somewhat to allow people to choose a plan that benefits them more. I agree in places it is not as good value for money. I reckon it won't be long before they are tweaked again however.
