Bookmark topic
Has anyone else noticed that the "make your own tarriff" is kinda sucky?
For example you have to have talktime, so you can't have a text-only package.
Are there enough people interested in a petition to Orange to get them to reconsider that restriction?
What packages would people like to get (if you had a free choice)?

Very much doubt it although I agree it sucks. The advertising and general spend on a change like this is massive, and Orange had a real problem with the massive network load every evening at 7pm, which this is going some way towards alleviating. I'm on Everyday 50 and I'm definitely keeping it!

Yeah, but I'm thinking of setting up an SMS automation system, so that I can control my PC via SMS.
The line I use for that will only ever send/receive text, and will never make a call.
OK, it's a bit unusual, but surely the point of creating your own tarriff is to make one to suit your needs?

Go into Carphone Warehouse and they do a text only bundle for £18 a month which gives 300 text on vodafone.
I don't know if people like phones4u do it as well but I definetly know CPW do.

I found an O2 300-text for £10/month package on QXL.
300-wap-mintes as well, but that's no use to me.

orange do a talkplan called Orange Link (I think it's called that) for business customers - exactly what u want - u can use it to send/receive texts to like vending machines or the status of what your car is doing - oil levels - tyre pressure that sort of thing.

Couldn't find it... Ornage Link seems to be a leased line to Orange to route voice calls from a PBX.
Do you have any more info?
