I've just told Orange where go too...
They wanted £100 for an M3100 and my average bill is £60 per month.
Not even retentions would budge!!
Hello T-Mobile Flex-t 35 with Web n Walk and a shiny new MDA Vario 2.
worst thing i ever done was to leave orange...........although my bills have halved with t mobile. But the amount of dropped calls or unsucessful call attempts is astounding. As is the delay in texts and mms.....also if your using UTMS/3G on t-mobile then if some one tries to call you some times they get the answer phone straight away. Officially T mobile say 3g doesnt support data and voice ithought this was the whole point of 3g?, my old orange phone would do it fine! Where as if im locked to a 2g signal then i get all calls fine when surfing as grps priortises(sp) voice calls over data.
On the mda pro MMS is also touch and go, if im in a 2g area(my house) then it tries to download the mms for ages, its the same for sending. As soon as im in a 3g area its fine and even when it does send it can be days before the other person gets it
This isnt just me ranting as me and my missus both left orange for t mobile and the amount of rows that are caused from mislayed or very late texts is obsurd.
Luckily i switched my orange contract to a payg and used a new number on the t mobile contract.
T- mobile offer a great package with the web n walk and it really is a good feature but i never had any problems with orange on reception or lost calls. T mobile are that bad that before i make a call i have to look at the screen to check reception.
A lot of my friends are on tmobile as well and always get dropped calls etc.
You couldnt use t mobile if you was a business user as it would be very embarassing with all the dropped calls.
BUT for the amount of money they save me i guess its worth the embarassment, my orange bills were always over £100, with t mobile they are around 50. Also orange has a far better CS and insurance policy. T mobile charge a excess and use a 3rd party company. The amount of times i had rung orange and reported a phone fault only to have a new one in my hands the next day is unreal.
Also i save a lot of time with being able to send/receive emails where ever i am with attatchments.
i also find that orange actually know there stuff where as t mobile havnt a clue......
There have been a few times where on my orange phone ive received calls from orange and they have said"our computer has detected a fault with your phone, when will you be in to receive a replacement!" how cool is that?
As it is my mda pro is only around 6 months old and is falling to bits, as a phone anything that runs wm is rubbish as a all round machine they are invaluable.
