How long have you been with your network?

MGS4SnakeRulez · 01-01-2014, 18:57

I'm on Orange/EE and been with them just over 8 months now (24 month contract)

Blofeld · 01-01-2014, 19:13

Just over 12 years with the same number on the same network (Vodafone).

KieranDS · 01-01-2014, 21:19

EE4G for 5 months now.

qasdfdsaq · 01-01-2014, 22:29

Which one? I'm on contract with 3 networks. More if you count PAYG.

Mark Smith · 01-01-2014, 22:40

Cellnet (since changed to BT Cellnet, mmO2 and now O2) was my first network but my second phone was on Orange, probably around 10-12 years ago and I've been with them ever since on PAYG.

floozie_21 · 01-01-2014, 22:49

I had my BT Cellnet phone about 13 years ago and I'm still with O2 now on the same number.

qasdfdsaq · 01-01-2014, 22:57

Oh just realized today marks my 14th year of having one or more mobile phones.

Been with Virgin since they started, cant remember how long ago that was!

testcard · 02-01-2014, 13:28

Orange since the beginning, then EE a year ago.

15 years.

jonmorris · 02-01-2014, 15:05

Orange since April 28th 1994. Hence having a 0(7)973 20xxxx number - the very first number range.

Was on Talk 60. A whole hour of calls for a month - wow! But of course, it introduced per-second billing and the first 3 seconds free (useful back then when calls could drop).

Remember Orange Network Performance Promise?

Frankly, my calls drop more often now on EE than they did on Orange in 2001.

Mikay · 02-01-2014, 15:26

I've been with 3 three years this March. Same number since 2005 though.

Oh yes, and the two hour phone replacement service that really did work. Goodness knows how much that cost Orange in the early days, before it went to 24 hours and then got quietly dropped.

Free texting (with a fixed monthly charge), free 0800 calls, Wildfire... plus loads of other innovations (line two, caller ID, really cheap international calls, and Orange Office that my dad trialled at Haringey Council).. and then France Telecom and 'simplification' where loads of the best things started to disappear, charges went up and arguably the quality fell drastically).

testcard · 02-01-2014, 16:09

...and WAP enabled Nokia phones on Orange.

Jakobjoe · 02-01-2014, 19:27

3 months with giffgaff and its been ok so far.

HSCSD, OVP..

jonmorris · 02-01-2014, 21:23

Ah yes, HSCSD. 14.4k and then 28.8k dial-up speeds!

The less said about WAP the better!
