hi

I got a payg sim for £4.99 from orange and registered it on tuesday. When will i get the confirmation about 3p texts for 6 months? is it automatic or do i have to call them again. The guy on the fone seemed a bit confused when i said about the 3p texts.

Thought the 3p text only applied if you bought a phone over £69.99

Like 'JETHRO TULL' has just said, the 3p text promotion only applies if you buy a PAYG handset over £69.99.

It does not apply to 'sim only' connections.

No it is 3p texts with a Sim Card only pack as well - it states so on the website.

When i brought my phone a few weeks ago it took under 24 hours to be put onto the account and when you get the text its automatic.

You should get a text within 72hours, if its been longer give them a call.

Yes, it is supposed to be for sim cards too.

When I bought my phone that was over £70, they didnt put them on, a quick phone call after the recommended 14 days, and they put it right without even asking for any details of where I bought my phone etc. After ringing up, I received the text saying I had 3p text messages straight away.

A friend who bought sim only got hers activated within a couple of days without even asking for it, so I guess it does go wrong for some people (like me).
