Internet Services agreement signed by the end of January 2011 and no services provided so far (April 2011).

No justifications, no explanations, no compensations, no answers. The customer services pass the buck from ones to others with no solutions.

Think twice before work with Orange

Several months ago, I visited your shop on Princes Street in Edinburgh to discuss an upgrade to my Orange contract.

I am visually impaired/blind and, as such, require an accessible phone.

I was assured by one of the staff, a man named Omar, that the Motorola DEXT would be suitable for my needs. I was informed it has TTS installed. After much effort on my part it became clear that the DEXT is not, in fact, accessible and is completely unsuitable. It does not include any TTS system. My partner was with me at the time and will verify I was told the phone is accessible.

I attempted to raise this matter with the shop, and was told there was nothing they could do to help.

After emailing customer services I have been told to go back to the manager of the shop and that they cannot help me. When they called me back the customer service agent was very abrupt/rude and told me that their hands were tied.

I went into a shop in Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow recently. They contacted the shop in Edinburgh. Omar at first claimed he could not remember me, and then insisted he told me to contact Customer Services for advice.

I then phone Customer Services again by phone. They were rude and insisted there was nothing they could do.

It has become clear that I was misled regarding this phone, presumably in an effort to get me to renew my contract. Nobody in your company is now prepared to do anything about this.

I regard this as illegal mis-selling.

This is the second time Orange has erred with an upgrade. On the previous occasion I rang Customer Services upgrades department and explained I needed a phone running either a Symbian or Windows Mobile operating system. They told me the LG Viewty was accessible and on Windows Mobile. When I received the phone it was quite clear this was not true. I returned the phone and eventually upgraded to an SPV-650 which, when speech was eventually installed, ran very slowly and actually worked, after a fashion, despite regular firmware crashes.

I am currently having to use a Nokia N73 that I purchased privately, as the DEXT is unusable.

In my opinion Orange offer cheaper handsets on pay as you go but you will pay the real price of the phone if you ever have to use their customer service in person, to be fair it is not so bad on their helpline but 'customer service' in their Dundee Overgate shop is truly appalling. When i had lost a phone the helpline sent me out a replacement sim card, however when i went to the shop to buy a new handset i was told i would have to buy a £20 top up which would be credited to a different sim which i did not need as there was already credit on my replacement sim card sent from the helpline. They refused to sell me the handset without the new sim and top-up, on top of this it took abut 2 weeks to receive the replacement sim card. When i argued that i had lost a phone and was going to buy a new phone and orange would still have a customer etc i was greeted with a barage of verbal abuse.

In the end i went to another orange shop in Dundee outside the wellgate and they helped sort the mess out, orange have since closed this shop that helped and left the other one open. After this sour experience i decided to unlock my orange hanset and go back to Virgin who i never had a problem with but left because i was won over by the cheaper orange handset. Moral of the story - don't be tricked into cheaper handsets!

My 12 year old son applied for a" free game" from the News Of The World paper, simply text "YES" to a number and you get a free game for your mobile. He did this, received the game, then text again "STOP" to ensure no more games were received.

Now by Oberon Media that is a sister company, they have bombarded my sons mobile with obscene photos of women, with all their glory on show! My son dosen't even know about sex yet and these peodofiles are still trying to send these crude photo texts and run up the orange phone bill to, wait for it, £1, 068.98p!!! Hello, is anybody at orange looking into this - NO, we have to pay it. Any suggestions please!!

Around 2 months ago I viewed my account on the website and went to add an additional magic number to my account. These are numbers that you acquire every 6 months and are free of charge to call and not included on your bill. I found that Orange had wiped my previous 2 numbers and so instead of adding my 3rd number I was back to adding my first. I then phoned up to complain only to be told that it would take up to 16 weeks to restore them and that if I wanted to clai, m back any money I had lost it would be up to me to spend hours on the phone sorting it out. Following this I then tried to change my talk plan online. It appeared to allow me to change to a 'dolphin 30' package, usually charged at £30 per month but with this deal you only pay £25. Instead I ended up with the same £20 deal I currently had but paying £25. When I phoned to complain they said they would change my plan the following month, still leaving me 1 month out of pocket and then subsequently didn't. So I'm still paying £25 a month for a contract I don't want. Please someone take me away from this awful company...I hate them.
