orange tariffs be carefull

[buxz777]

hiya nearly got an n82 on orange the other day was really close to leaving o2 as well but when i looked into it i noticed this big deciding factor

unlimited txs for orange means -- only sms messages -- mms will be charged still at 25p for under 50kb and over 50kn is 35p

unlimited txts for o2 means -- sms+mms -- mms will use 4 of your free txt allowance so they are still free

also video calls

on orange -- 35p min to orange -- 50p min xnetwork

on o2 -- 1 min of video calling is the same as 1 min of just voice calling and will be taken out of your free allowance like normal mins wether xnetwork or not

as you can see if id gone for orange i would have still been paying for mms and viseo calling but with o2 they are included in your tarifffs free stuff

also orange data plans are ridiculous

iam so gald i didnt sign up for that orange contract and i stuck with o2 ;-)

ALLWAYS CHECK YOUR TARIFF INFO BEFORE YOU SIGN YOUR CONTRACT TO SEE WHATS INCLUDED AND WHATS NOT UNTILL I CHECKED I PERSUMED THAT ALL MY TXTX WOULD BE INCLUDED WITH ORANGE I WAS SO WRONG

thanks everyone

Yeah, Orange's plans aren't as good as others.

However i managed to get their Dolphin 35 for £26 / month, almost £10 cheaper! That was from the Oragne shop itself too, you don't get if you don't ask! I don't particularly use MMS, or video calling and i only use the web when there is wi-fi available, so it worked out ok for me.

buxz777. Thanks for a useful post. I'm on O2 and I admit I had never examined the terms and charges. Great summary!

Don't forget, O2 also give returning customers O2 Treats.
