First of all, if you are on Talk Anytime you get 100 free countries to call, 10p per min on mobile and free UK landline at anytime.
However, now with the new BB 'Unlimited' you get 30 free countries, a variable mobile rate (albeit cheaper at evenings and weekends) and free UK landline.
If you are on Talk anytime, you really should be using your VOIP phone much more than your land line as it is free for most of your calls. now, BB Unlimited will be more expensive and you might as well keep with your current land line and keep the 70 free countries which you will lose if you switch.
Otherwise, if you don't have Wireless and Talk, go and switch, etc.
Though why have Orange decided to shorten their free country list?
Does anyone know if Orange actually plans to continue with the 100 free international call destinations for existing customers?? This was the only reason I took on this package in the first place! Wife calls Philippines all the time - was costing us a fortune on BT - so she bought her family a landline and now gets free calls with this package! I'd be cheesed off if we were to loose them so soon after getting the package!
does anyone know where I can find the list of free 100 countries (and tariffs for the others)
I currently get the free 100 countries but I can't find the price list relating to this. the only one I can find is the top 30 and it doesn't include some of the countries I currently call for free.
Well AFAIK it does still apply although I hear whispers that they want to simplify them by getting everythone onto a single talk tarriff so it's not confusing like this.
About 2 years ago, I was lied to on the phone by telemarketter working for Orange who put me on the 30 countries offer.
I received call advising I can change to 30 countries offer for cheaper, I abviously refused. A few weeks later, I received an offer stay on same package but because I was a valued customer I qualified for £1 cheaper for month, after receiving confirmation several time from the telemarketter and his manager that it will still include 100 Country (I call to Ecuador mainly), I accepted to pay £1 less per month.
3 months later I realised I had been switched to 30 countries offer. I had to call several time and insist to be put back on 100 countries offer (they were saying they appologize but their system do not allow to put anyone on 100 countries...)
I had £180 of call charges which I called several times about and they never reemboursed the money. Never call back when they promissed it, and one time offered to refund half the money to close the affair...
They also said on the phone that I will soon receive an email as all 100 countries offer will be ended - this was almost 2 years ago I'm still on it now after moving home twice too
So basically, never change anything on your package unless you have written confirmation that you will remain on the 100 countries
