It is with sadness that I report that after a short life extension, Orange UK have executed Wildfire.

She was given a one month life extension to the 1st July and has been living on borrowed time over the weekend. I said "Goodbye Wildfire" for the last time this morning.

Attempts to call her now result in the message.

"The system administrator has disable this Wildfire account"

A very sad day for mobile telephony.

I never was on Orange because of reception issues, but I remember hearing of Wildfire, but I never really knew what she could actually do. Could you illuminate me?

She was an interactive voice assistant... Run from the orange central computer. Very human and very intuative. She worked very well as long as you did the voice recognition training.

It was totally hands free.

You could even ask her to "do me a favour"...

PM me and I'll see if I can find the original demonstration CD and send you across an MP3.
