Any ideas how long Orange take to send out payngo sim cards once you terminate contract and asked to be moved to payngo ? They said 30 days to me, surly that cant be right ? a bit long aint it ? should have just asked for pac code.

I've not had this text yet
Probably as you've never exceeded your allowance. I never got it neither and cancelled.

What's the benefits to cancelling here?
A) you have a nice smartphone and basically get to keep it for free
B) Yuo've changed your mind abotu your contract and dont have to wait 18 months to get out?
Is that it? Trying to decided if it's worth following this up. My phone is old, i'm 2 months from renewal and leaving the country before the end of the year :/

I got my Orange contract the day the N97 came out. Havent had a text or anything from orange yet> After reading this though im not sure what to do because ive got the orange internet thing but i really dont want charged for it because i just use the wireless internet at home instead because its faster

hey krooton, cant fint the touch pro 2 on t-mobile site, any chance of a link (on dialup at the moment so searching is hurting)
I just cancelled mine.
First woman wasn't having any of it, second man was like - Yep that's fine I can see that you've received the text message (I haven't but the charges will effect me).
So time to look for a new phone and probably sell the Touch HD!

I'm on Orange Monthly sim only tariff 1 month rolling contract and they offered my an extra 100mins so I'm happy with that, surprised they offered me anything being on a rolling contract.
Hmmmmmmmmm I find myself in a dilemma after reading this.
Now I would love to get a new phone that would be great but currently I have this.....
700x-net anytime Minutes
Unlimited Texts + Extra 1000 sitting there for some reason
Unlimited Internet (500MB)
This costs me only £22.50 per month and my upgrade is coming up on 13th November.
Is there a very similar or better deal out there in which to tempt me into cancelling my Orange contract? I currently have an HTC Touch Diamond so another smartphone style thing would do.
See you can spec me out of my contract if you get me something better. I'm never over my limits so I guess it wont affect me so much.

jesus, i wish id took out a new contract a week or 2 sooner, iv only had my n97 about 9days and I had this fair usage thing when I signed up to it, so by the looks of things if it had been a few weeks sooner I could have cancelled my orange contract because of this and kept the phone(due to it not being orange's handset?)
That would have been great. Oh well, Iphone here I come.

Er that sounds quite good?? have you been with Orange a while or haggled with them to get that deal? Mine is same phone on Dolphin 35, so £35 a month (£25 with redemption), no internet, 600 mins, unlimited texts?

Hey,
I rang up today and cancelled my contract with Orange - spoke to a really pleasant lady who just checked whether or not I had received the text, then sent me on my merry way with a PAC code! Where do I go now though?! O2 SIMplicity 12 months w/ Quidco seems like the smart choice. I thought it was supposed to expire yesterday, but it's still showing up on the Quidco site with no expiry date next to it? In case it does expire, are there any other good SIM only deals floating around?
For reference, I was on Racoon 25 (300 mins, 300 texts, unlimited land line calls) paying £26pm with OrangeCare & itemised billing (didn't realise there was a £1.50 charge for this!). It was an 18 month contract which I *think* was due to expire March 2010, so I must have taken it out July/August 2008 roughly!
Cheers,
Su

Just got off the phone with Orange. They offered me a good will gesture of upping my internet to 500mb for free from 250mb to stay with my current contract.
Currently I am paying £19.57 for 600min/unlimited sms/250mb internet. Free Nokia 5800. 18 month contract.
Been with them for 2 or 3 months so far without a problem. They said that they could cancel etc without a problem but I would be returning as a new customer if I could to and that I wouldn't get the same deal again. I am on Dolphin 35 with discounts.
So is a new phone and a more expensive tariff if I get the same that I have worth cancelling the above just to be able to sell the Nokia 5800 for a few £££.
There aren't any phones that have really caught my eye either at the moment.

The O2 Simplicity offer is still showing on Quidco... are you sure it has expired?! Don't want to buy into a 12-month contract if it means to cashback
