Orange Review
In a nutshell: Orange is one of the "big 4" mobile
networks in the UK, and is owned by the same company that owns T-Mobile.
In 2010, Orange became part of Everything Everywhere Limited - the
company formed through the merger of T-Mobile UK and Orange UK. Owned
jointly by Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom, Everything Everywhere
Limited is the UK's biggest communications company. In addition to its
mobile phone network, Orange also offers mobile
broadband.

I booked extra internet access with Orange before I went to Spain. When
I got there I got a not an authentication error every time I tried to
access the web . The Orange help line was of no assistance . When I
returned home I phoned Orange customer service who told me someone from
complaints wouls phone within a few days. When this did not happen I
wrote to Orange and still I have heard nothing . This ahs benn ongoing
for amonth.

My husband and I have oldish Samsung phones on pay as you go with orange.
Both phones have started to power down for no reason. Samsung told me
to insert new sim cards. I have done this but the same thing is happening.
Apparently there is a problem with older Samung phones and orange sim
cards. Both companies are investigating. This has been ongoing for five
days. Planning to buy new phones - not Samsung and not orange.

I have been with Orange 12+ years and generally found them very good
and able to sort things out, however I am changing my mind. I now have
one of those wonderful when it works Nokia N8's. First I made the mistake
of upgrading at phones4u, the salesman in the shop never told me the
unmarked phone I now had would be considered unacceptable to my Orange
Insurance, had terrible problems setting it up, eventually a GREAT and
FRIENDLY chap from Everything Everywhere sorted it in a very long call.
It has gone wrong many times, phones4u not at all helpful and has now
been back to a Nokia Shop several times as problems that bad, then a
lady at Orange sold me a new plan that does not function correctly on
a N8, tried to talk to them, got nowhere, sent e-mails that never get
answered,so now stuck to end of contract, I think our 3 mobiles will
go to another network in the near future after as I say 12+ years with
Orange who seem now not to have any care for you once they sell you
something.

Having been with three, vodafone, t-mobile, I decided to take a contract
with orange during december 2011, through dialaphone.
What a mistake, they have changed twice my price plan with no consent
of mine, altogheter I must have spent at least 24h on the phone with
the inneficient customer services depot. In short please stay away from
them, they are terrible...useless

No signal at busy times at St Pancras station in London. This problem
has been happening at exactly the same area over the same time period
(approx 6pm -7:30pm) for several months. Orange refused to accept that
this means that their towers are full (as phone does get signal in the
same area at all other times). Instead attempted to make me switch phone
settings back and forth. After being told to switch back to setting
previously been told was causing the problem tried to cancel and was
put through to retentions which was an endless repetitive cycle of attempts
to encourage / coerce me to remain with them. After 40 mins of frustration
hung up and wrote this review. Don't make the same mistake as me.

Customer service is extremely poor. Signal is patchy to say the least.
I have used all of the major network providers and in my opinion Orange
is the worst one in the market place.

Poor signal where I live and where I work, although in city centers
it's been good.
Main reason for the 1 star review is the pathetic attempt at a "customer
service" orange have. 9 times out of 10 the custoemr service agent dealing
with any call/complaint just give you generic and bog-standard answers
without even looking into your personal situation - this also goes for
their broadband.

I have been with Orange for years on pay as you go but my wife who has
a contract with Orange, has not been able to call me for just over a
year (I don’t even get a missed call signal) the Orange staff
told us it was our post code (rubbish) she cant call me in any location.
The other problem I am having is that even though I very rarely use
my phone my credit keeps going down; last month I put 20£ on & it went
to 85p after 6 weeks even though I had only made 10 calls! & my call
duration is usually around 30 seconds, if I am on for more than a minute
it would be a personal world record.

Been with Orange now for over 10 years tried Cellnet to start with so
you can see how long ago that was. Cannot fault Orange one bit yes there
have been the old dropped call and the odd day when there was no coverage
but at those time customer support has been second to none. Recently
upgraded phone again so with Orange for yet another 18 months of unrivaled
quality.

Perhaps this is the worst mobile network in the UK. Its signal coverage
was worst but now has been improved since it has joined with T mobile
network. Some of my collegues still have it & I'v seen how frustrated
they are with network.

Excellent coverage where ever I have been in Uk. Customer services have
been very helpfull over the years I have been with Orange. I have been
with most providers and in my opinion Orange are by far the best.

I'm with Orange, but moving to O2 - only because Orange reception at
home is poor. That's the only reason. I've been with Orange for years
and it's a shame that I have to leave them - their customer service,
in my experience, is brilliant. No problems with leaving the network;
received a PAC code by text within 2 minutes of my request. No quibbles,
no need to put anything in writing. Would never have considered leaving
if it wasn't for the reception issues where I live.
