Anyone got an Orange contract and want out?

[Samdy Gray]

Orange are changing their charges for non-inclusive minutes in September. As this is a change to any existing contract, you have the right to cancel without penalty.

Some people on another forum I post on have done this succesfully and also kept their handset.

sweet if this is possible to do.

means i'll cancel and order me a PS3 through Carphone warehouse (or somewhere similar)

I was on the phone to Orange within minutes of receiving the text. You can be disconnected with a PAC code in the post within 24 hours of calling them. Pretty sweet as I got a 32" Sony Bravia with my deal. Checked with the retailer and as I've had my contract running for over 120 days there's no comeback for disconnection.

I don't know what it would cost to implement but surely it would make more sense to roll out a price change as people approach the end of their contracts.. I've still got 14 months left to run on mine.

i've got another 12 months i believe. i have received a text from Orange last month but never take any notice of it.

which is the best phonce sites for deals?

Result! The coverage for orange here is shite. Just called them and they're sending me the PAC number in the post. Happy days!!!!

cancelled my contract which is ace

I used mobiles.co.uk. If you go for a deal with a free gift they actually send it out with the phone rather than make you wait 60 to 120 days like other sites do.

excellent Sam cheers. The mrs is going to cancel hers too so she can get something free. plus she hates her phone.

I've just ordered the iPhone 3gs through mobiles.co.uk (only because they're offering £60 cashback through quidco)..

To be honest the 16gb black iPhone 3gs is a bastard to get hold of at the moment but I ordered mine at about 7pm last night, and I've just received the Royal Mail track and trace code for my delivery tomorrow. Can't complain.

Just hope to god I have no reason to contact them by phone as the waiting times are horrendous.

i've currently chosen a PS3 + New Nokia 5800.

The Mrs is going to go for a free TV from here

Got a text yesterday but didn't realise you could do this. Was due an upgrade, but those Orange cunts want me to pay for a phone. Well that ain't gonna happen you daft pricks. Looks like I may be checking out mobiles.co.uk later.....

Thanks Sam.

i had one of those texts a while back, but i saw it was from orange and just deleted it.  mind you i've been on the same contract for years, so i could probably leave it any time i wanted...its still an "everyday 50" account.  Sort of begs the question why i don't just get a new one and something free really...

[Miss Angry]

Hmmm... Am i reading it wrong in that cos my contract is an old one this cancel lark doesnt apply to me? You can only cancel if you started your contract from may09 or something can someone explain if i am wrong pleeease x

[swindon_chick]

Rang up about 3 times over the last 5 or so days to cancel and was told I needed a text with the charges(Which I deleted). Rang up this earlier to get told a previous request had gone through and that my contract is terminated as from tonight/tomorrow!

Any ideas on which networks offer good coverage as I don't get a great signal with Orange?
And what is the Iphone like? Is it worth the extra money for the handset?

I started mine in April. So don't know if I could do it or not? Also I actually like Orange. They've never given me any shit. Only reason i'd do it is to get a better phone and maybe a free gift or some cash back.
