Orange 250MB Data Bundle - not bad at all

After my call for opinion on Orange UK, I’m pleased to be able to publish this viewpoint from reader, Kat, who reckons they’re actually pretty good. Kat has even taken out their 250mb data plan…

I’ve been with Orange probably for the last 10 years and if I’m honest I haven’t really had a problem with them. I recently upgraded to a shiny new N82 (having read Whatleydude’s review on your site) and while I did that, I also added on the 250MB per month data bundle.

Admittedly it was a new bundle so they struggled to find it on the system (the shop knew about it but upgrades didn’t) and me being untrusting called to check later that day to find they’d only put a 30MB bundle on, but that was fixed straight away. It could of course have been pretty messy had I not checked and then over used my data allocation. So when my bill arrived yesterday I wanted to be absolutely sure that it was all OK, it was, everything had been corrected, my 100MB unused has been carried over for next month and in total my bill was the grand sum of £65.

For those that are interested that breaks down as £35 Canary (giving 500 texts and 300 mins), a 15 photo bundle which off the top of my head is £5, the £8 – 250MB data package and the £15 I pay for 3GB of 3G data via my laptop dongle. Throw in my Magic Number usage (almost free calls to other named Orange users) and I barely use any of my calling minutes, I also struggle less for coverage on Orange than I do on Vodafone (work phone)

I guess that makes me an Orange fan!

Thank for this comment Kat!
