You can search via the Orange website, or via the Orange World wap portal early next week.

Nikhil - the text to 241 is free, but the text that you get back from 241 with your text ticket in is charged at 10p

You will be charged regardless of whether you have text saver or not. The text to 241, or call to 241 is free of charge. The charge is a fixed 10p charge, regardless of your tariff, on receipt of the text ticket. That way, if for whatever reason you do not receive the text ticket, or that week's allocation has run out, you are not charged.

Try again. As I said before, you will only be charged when you receive it. If you have no luck texting FILM to 241, try ringing 241 and selecting option 1

As per the Orange website it does state 10p. I can deduce then that texts are either 10 or 12p... lol.

I'm really not that tight! *squeak*

Honestly, I'm not naive but have never sent such a text message... Is it really as easy as typing the word "film" (without quote marks) and sending to 241?

I feel the answer may be YES!

even if it cost £1 it would save you on your ticket prices, i went to the Showcase in leeds and its £5.40 there so me and my mate split it to £2.60 *Cheap as Chips*

Might be worth giving the Warner Village a ring. It could just be an error on the website search. Other Warner Village / VUE cinemas are taking part.

On the website it claims its available at the Merlin Cinema in Torquay, in fact I even phoned up the other day to make sure. But then on Wednesday after getting my text ticket I went in there, and surprise surprise they didn't know anything about it. Luckily after showing them the wap site which listed them as taking part they honoured the voucer.

I must admit that the website doesn't exactly make it as clear as the wap site as to whether a particular cinema is participating. The wap version explicitly says "Orange Wednesday Cinemas" while the web simply lists them.

I don't spend £5 PAYG in 3 months on mine and I got a ticket OK.

There was mention that tickets would be issued in a priority fashion to people who use £5 or more. Maybe Orange aren't inundated with texts at the moment with the offer at its beginning.

I was charged 10p and I have text saver. I'm happy with that.

Finally I will add.., that if you text order a ticket on a Monday say, then it will arrive for any performance on the following Wednesday.
