From: Bill on 16 Jul 2010 09:17 I have just decided that Orange are absolute rubbish. Hold the phone in your hand/enter a building and the signal goes = irritating Text message delivery reports at 1p = ridiculous Handset branding and locking = annoying Customer service in India = unhelpful CS in UK = rude The new tariffs = overpriced 3G data speeds = terrible, and sometimes unusable Coverage in rural areas = actually not that bad UMA = good in theory, good when it works --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

Seemed a good deal so took them up on the offer!! You're right about UMA though. Tim
