When I bought my iPhone it took me 20 minutes to of conversation to get the PAC code. The guy wasn't very good. No matter how many times I told him it was a done deal and the new phone was actually in my pocket, he still insisted on trying to rubbish it. I got the 'good customer' bit, but frankly as I'd only been with them for 18 months I knew it was bullshit. -- Geoff Berrow (Put thecat out to email) It's only Usenet, no one dies.

I know exactly how much Orange value me as a 'good customer', they put a precise figure on it... Just before Orange first got the iPhone, they invited people to register an interest, which I did, and they sent back an email saying that if I was an existing Orange customer they would be able to offer discounts from the standard package prices, and if I texted them with a code from the website, they could tell me just how big a discount I would get. Now, bear in mind that I've been an Orange PAYG customer for more than eight years now, which is quite some 'good customer' loyalty, and in that time I must have spent somewhere upwards of fifty quid on top-ups. Heck, it's not yet even a year since I last paid a fiver into it. And so they offered me a discount of: ?1.

Hey big spender.... My current phone is a little fliptop that came free with some photocopy paper from Viking. I've put about �30 on it in the last two years, so not quite so parsimonious as you. My wife has an iPhone (which she refers to as "our iPhone" but since it never leaves her hand, dock or back pocket, I think is a bit of a stretch) which has ingested something around �700 in the same time period. -- Pd

FWIW, I have now extracted my PAC code from T-Mobile from them. Still tossing up between O2 and voda. -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk
