Actually my phone that died this week is one of them. And they are sh1te. The best thing is the alarm. I have one set to go off at 6.30 everyday. If you switch the phone off, when it comes to the alarm time it attaempts to turn itself back on to fire off the alarm. It attaempts but usually fails. what it manages to do is turn the screen on bright white and flatten the battery.

What it is doing now is not registering automatically. When it is registered it more often that not will not allow a call to be made even though it has a good signal.

Incidentally, has anyone else got a Motorolla v600 here? I get problems with it occasionally not ringing and taking incoming calls straight to voicemail, even when there's no apparent problem with reception. Really annoying.

How do you know which line you are calling out from?

There's an icon with a "1" or a "2" at the top of the screen. Incoming caller ids are prefixed with a "1" / "2" as well. It's handy to put different ring tones on each line so you know instantly whether it's a business call or not.

On my Motorola I select "Settings -> Phone Status -> Active Line" to change the line selection to dial out from.

Just spoken to Vodaphone. Looks like I may give them a go. I wanted one where I could talk for free between the 2 handsets. Orange and Vodaphone both offer this. The most common call I make is to the other handset.

I use the Orange line 2 service - 2 phone lines on one phone. Gives u a separate bill for all your business calls. U just make sure the address for the second bill has your company name at the top.

One serious problem : line 2 does not roam. You cannot use the line 2 service at all when u are overseas. This I found to my cost - complained bitterly to them but they didn't give a hoot.

Just contacted T Mobile and because I am an existing customer I cannot take advantage of any of their business promotions. How is that for trying to keep your customers and rewarding loyalty. I was initailly told that it was impossible to take a personal tmobile number and have it on a business price plan. Is cr@p customer service a mobile phone thing?

Keep note and when customer services ask why you are not renewing your subscription......

you should tell them that it's very possible to port your number to Vodafone! Muppets

Doubtless there is one of these for every mobile phone operator, but seeing as we're talking about Orange...

Complaints about Orange

Quite an 'impressive' list too.

Have emailed them and will post a copy also. I'm aiming to get one of them to waste as much time as thay have wasted of mine.

After the recent terrorist activities in London the French terror alert has been raised from "RUN" to "HIDE". There are only two higher states "SURRENDER" and "COLLABERATE"

BTW Tony, make sure you cut and paste what you have told us in a letter to someone high up in Orange (preferably someone who is English, because the French treat this as normal business practice).

Because we had a serious documentary series on TV called 'Allo Allo a while back
