  1. Never occurred to me either Mrs B. It is now 4 months since we sent off the paperwork to Angouleme and still no response from them!
  2. Thanks for that, given me some thoughts. I am paying 36.99 per month with TC plus 2.99 for modem and free calls via voip so a total of about 40€ a month.
  3. [quote user="NickP"]Spider, when we changed over, we gave all our details to Orange, sent the letter to TC. Orange posted us the Modem which we picked up at a click and collect point. That same day they texted to say connect the Modem, which we did successfully, this obviously disconnected TC. We were never without the internet or phone at any time. From contacting Orange to switching on was about one week. My big mistake was not going to the post office straight away and cancelling the direct debit. When we did, the post office said that they thought we were too late to stop the payment for "missing Modems" So make sure you cancel the Direct Debit ASAP allowing for the final legal payment to go out of course. Because as sure as eggs are eggs you will get told that the modem is either broken or they haven't received it. One I sent back they signed for yet said that they hadn't received it.[/quote] Thanks for that Nick, I will give it more thought this week.The offer I'm looking at is just the basic internet Livebox which starts at 22.99 a month for 12 month then 36.99 and I presume they charge for the box in which case after one year not a lot different to what I pay TC now. When I spoke to Orange they said if my speed was limited they could supply an additional "box" - not sure what that is - so that I would get the 8 meg, obviously at increased cost. We are not interested in having TV. I'd be interested to know what you pay. Norman, yes heard horror stories about the Orange shop here which always seems crowded indicating lots of problems perhaps?
  4. I'm with TC at the moment but I'm thinking of changing over to Orange. Reason being I have had several modems but still have problems with my phone and the internet speed has been 2 meg, then 6 meg and back to 2 meg, Our neighbour gets 7 meg stable connection. Of course getting through to the help line is impossible mission sometimes as well. I phoned Orange and I got the impression I would be without phone/internet for about 10 days if I change. They also said my speed would be between 2 and 8 meg, probably on the lower estimate because of our location so no change. Tregeare - how long did the changeover take? Ages ago I was with Alice and when I changed ISP's I had similar problems to you and NickP even to the point of having several demand letters from a debt collection agency in Paris who I eventually told to go forth and multiply as they couldn't even supply an invoice relating to the debt!
  5. The Times: The airport said that an “impasse” over Brexit had forced Blue Air to abandon part of its flight schedule between the UK and the European Union. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/holidaymakers-have-blue-air-flights-cancelled-over-brexit-impasse-3t77ltlcs Evening Standard: Blue Air flight cancellations: Brits fume as airline cancels flights 'over Brexit uncertainty https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/blue-air-flight-cancellations-brits-fume-as-airline-cancels-flights-over-brexit-uncertainty-a4067491.html Express: AIR passengers have had their holiday plans torn into shreds after a Romanian airline cancelled flights from Liverpool “because of Brexit” https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1087208/brexit-news-latest-blue-air-flights-cancelled-liverpool-rome-milan Seems most of the comment blames Brexit. It will be interesting to hear what the airline has to say when/if they eventually make a statement.
  6. I think we should also question is it the first of many?
  7. Romanian airlines cancel flights because of Brexit worries. I noticed this news item on MS news last night but there does not seem to be much coverage on news today and I thought it would have been an important story..... https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/brexit-blue-air-flight-cancelled-romania-liverpool-airport-airline-travel-a8779261.html
  8. Your link doesn't work Jako. Maybe this is what you intended? https://www.symamobile.com/ Looks interesting.
  9. Connexion seems to have it covered: https://www.connexionfrance.com/French-news/Brexit/French-order-on-Britons-no-deal-rights-is-now-law?fbclid=IwAR2nv4RPFxzOwDzSyL7NScEw0rVNBzptKkVpktrWcAubZc8VbT1VsElayWU
  10. Hi Mrs B All I got was an email copied below: La date du dépôt de la demande de titre de séjour correspond à la date de réception à la préfecture du dossier complet. Vous serez recontacté dans les meilleurs délais pour une prise de rendez-vous. La liste de pièces est disponible sur le site de la préfecture de la Charente : http://16.accueil-etrangers.gouv.fr/demande-de-titre-de-sejour/vous-etes-ressortissant-e-de-l-ue/vous-etes-ressortissant-e-de-l-ue/ As far as I can see there is nothing about how or when they will contact us. If I receive anything I will let you know.
  11. Greetings All, Just decided to re-register with this forum after reading these posts on obtaining a CdS from Angouleme (Charente). Initially I applied for a RDV expecting a phone call for appointment, in fact what I received was an email asking us to send all the details by post. This was in October last year. I printed off all the stuff required for both me and my wife and sent them off (big bulky package!) on 30th October. To date I have had no response from them. Late last month I sent an email asking how my application was progressing but again no response. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has applied by post and received their CdS, in particular how long it took and whether you were contacted by phone or email.
