My teenage DD has Orange Pay-As-You-Go and when she tops up she is usually rewarded with 100 free texts. Great!

I too am an Orange Pay-As-You-Go customer and this morning I topped up. What did they offer me? A voucher for a free Bungee Jump! WTF!!?

Sorry but i had to laugh, what a daft thing to offer.

i mean you could be afraid of heights

just kiddin, t mobile used to do that, sometimes they would give loads of free internet usage, other times 2 free texts. i think these phone companies are odd sometimes.

You are right. Orange are a bunch of

I have been on contract with them (not even PAYG) for over TEN YEARS. yes, that's a DECADE of loyal service and Lots of £££££.

And they won't get me out of our contract early for an upgrade to an iphone when I hadn't had an upgrade prior to that for 3 years.

Orange have different PAYG packages which offer different things. Have a look on the orange website. The best one is probably dolphin which gives u 300 texts and unlimited Internet a month for a £10 topup

When DS2's phone was topped up 2 weeks ago he won a water pistol! He was thrilled.

Good advice slummymummy I will do that. Mind you I don't think the unlimited Internet would help much since I must have had my phone since the last millenium - it is a Nokia 3210! I know, I know but, as I keep telling the mocking DD, this is a design classic. It will be considered retro-chic one day.

Tortoise Actually I wouldn't mind the water pistol - I am more likely to use that than I am to bounce up and down on the end of a giant rubber band!
