Hi,
I currently have an Orange PAYG sim coming in post, am i right in saying that when i join i will get 3p texts after 6pm weekdays and free texts all weekend?

I thought you only got that offer when you brought a phone over a certain amount...maybe im wrong though.

Have not seen the offer Steven is on about.

The only OrangePAYG offer that I have noted is 3p xnet texts for 6 Months if you buy a phone worth £69 or more.

I'm just going by what the Orange lady on the phone said to me when purchasing and what a friend said who has it but i'm kind of confused thats why i posted on here.

My wife got a text message from ORANGE yesterday asking her if she wanted this offer (3p texts anytime any network for 6months) and to reply YES to a 5 digit sms number. Which they acknowledged by texting THANKS , for future offers see the orange webite update me section

She has had this phone and sim for over 3 years, ( but her TEXTSAVER package is about to expire) has anyone else had this message

If you join Orange or upgrade and buy a pay as you go phone worth £69 or more before the end of the year, you'll be able to send texts to any network for just 3p for the next six months. all info on the ORANGE website http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/show/offer/3p

I didnt get any 3p texts or free weekend texts, i got 30 picture msgs tho for free but thats it. The recordings on 453 are a bit jumpy aren't they? You can tell its computerised there! I cant fault the service although my signal has went down to just 1 or 2 bars (on a nokia 3220) since having an orange sim in it compared to nearly full with Virgin.

calls to Orange phones 25p then 5p
standard calls 25p then 5p
Text Messaging 12p then 12p
Answer Phone 10p then 10p
wap 10p then 10p
calls to other UK networks 40p then 40p
Photo Messaging* 30p then 30p

this is for pay as you go sims this is 24-7 it dosen't change on less they change it but this was off the orange website

LOL

yep they don't know what number to call but i'm keeping it down to 2 numbers soon, am getting virgin number (which everyone has) ported over to Orange then keeping the 3 number too which lots of people have.

People say that its good having 2 numbers as you can always contact them.
