Afternoon chimp fans.
Now, I’ve come to the end of my hugely massive patience with Orange and I’m going to cancel my contract with them.
In the past they have given my number to some third party who sent me a phone without my wanting it, who then cut off my SIM card and swore blind that I agreed to the phone and that I couldn’t return it as it had been over 7 days. No one had called me and the post office never left a calling card so I had no idea a phone was waiting for me.
All this fell on deaf ears.
However, I was told that after a few months I could change my tariff and phone. I waited, patiently, only to be told that I wasn’t allowed as it was too early. Eventually they allowed me to change my tariff but only to one that cost more but refused me a new phone saying I had to wait till April of this year.
April came, I was told I had to wait till June. June is here and I’ve gone online and it says I can’t upgrade until after the 25th July when I am in my final 3 months of my contract.
As you can imagine, I am PEED!!!
Now, I’ve been with Orange for years, can I call them up and cancel or will I have to buy out the rest of this contract?
I’ve heard horror stories about people trying to cancel with Orange. Stories about people ending up with bad credit as Orange agreed to cancel, but continued billing them and customers refusing to pay. Stories on how Orange make it as difficult as possible for you to keep your number and to move it to a different network.
Has anyone had any of these problems?
