Mr Coeur de Lion Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Going round in circles on Oranges poorly designed website trying to find a contact email address.Maybe someone here will know better than them anyway.I've got a PAYG orange mobile plan. My forumula is fine except for internet access (which they call WAP on their site), which they claim should only cost me 0.15 eur/min or 0.15 eur/kb.Well I just hopped online for two minutes and didn't even really get to open a website properly. When I checked how much that 2 minte connection cost, the thieving swines had taken over €7 for it.What is that about? Does anyone have any idea?

Pierre ZFP Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Could be. I have no idea how they can manage/justify connection by the minute as if you're not moving data around then there is no call on their systemHowever, at an outrageous 0.15 eur/Kb as you state, €7 would get you a whole 46 Kb, or one small picture, quite possible in 2 minutes of dodgy connection.

BJSLIV Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just checked that to refresh this page with the only two posts amounted to 60Kb. nearly 1 Euro's worth! At that rate it wouldn't take much to use up 7 Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thanks for checking that. So it appears it uses the 15c/kb rate then.Ok. wi-fi access internet only on my phone then.And it's 0.15 eur/10kb I rediscovered. Still not great.

tuppence Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 One thing that bugs me more than anything with orange PAYG phones is that when I top up from said phone I then receivea text telling me I now get 300 free texts etc. Well er no you don't unless you live in the UK. So I pay to them using UK account but don't get the benefit here in France. Not really fair IMHO.tuppence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
