Title: Depressing news from Orange
Post by: mobaholic on July 23, 2009, 10:43:34 AM

I received a text from Orange on one of my pre-pay SIMs yesterday, informing of price changes coming in in September.

Details of these can be seen at http://www1.orange.co.uk/septemberchanges/ (http://www1.orange.co.uk/septemberchanges/)

They make depressing reading.         :o

Internet charges for 25 MB of browsing in a day double to £2;        ???

From 2 September calls to 0500, 0845, 0870, 0844 and 0871 numbers will be charged at 40p per minute;        ???

Calls to 0800 numbers will be charged at 25p per minute.        ???

This will hardly attract them more pay & go customers I should have thought !

As one contributor on uk.telecom.mobile commented:-

I thought that 0870 had to be charged the same as 01/02/03 from August - but even if not, 40p a minute?  And 25p/min for 0800?  They're having a laugh...
