Just tried to change direct debit date and he said he couldn't do that???
Am I being screwed here?? Cuz i'll have to pay for the full first month surely?
Let me know if I should ring up again...!!
EDIT:
Do garbage threads not come up on the latest posts anymore?? Cuz i'm positing, but not seeing it come up on the home page... odd.
Anyway, I just want to know where i went wrong in changing the billing date/ DD date? I mean, I only just got the phone, but apparently i can't change it.... help anyone?

I can't change the date either.
I guess you have to pay £95 for the 1st month and £10 for the 2nd -12th
Orange told me that all their customers have the same Direct Dedit date i.e 15th
Merry X'mas n Happy new year!

@N6600, This CPW cheap phone thing has been well documented on here over the past month or so, if you check the threads you will notice you can downgrade the day you get the phone, why pay 10 days of the £95, thats £30.
Lots of us have only paid 1 or 2 days = £10 or less for the first month.
All my p900's are different billing dates set to about 4 days from purchase, but maybe they changed it.
To maximise profit, you need to do whaat i did, start buying & selling as soon as the phone comes out, (beginning of November) i was getting £550 per P9.

Call again. I did as soon as i posted for the second time. And It's fine. My billing date is on the 22nd. And thats when I will be onto the HSD plan!! Sha'mon!
Well, this was a scam I thouroughly enjoyed. Might get one for my bro, and maybe sell a few...

@N6600, I always get them from CPW because they will let you return it within 14 days for a refund (you have to pay for any calls & a proportion of the airtime) but its a nice thing to fall back on, if for instance they try to stitch you on the billing date, you can re order one & stipulate a billing date for ...say 3 days after purchase, tell them its because thats when your wages go into the bank or something

I am going to give a bit of clarification here if it helps others.
Just rang CPW online sales people, mentioned the P900 on Orange 1000 deal. We then spoke in detail (me sounding like I knew nothing) - anyway - the lady said - on each order they say you cannot downgrade within 3 months. So I said - does it say that in the T&C - she said no. She then went on to tel me there is no clawback - Orange penalise CPW but CPW dont penalise the customer as its not in the T&C - but they dont offically state it - and U can see why.
Anyway - know just to find my nearest store that has a P900 in stock.
