Registration is optional, but if you do not register you will not
receive any promotions, e.g. text or credit reward.

That may wrap, but you can register online.

FOr the old fashioned way, go to orange.co.uk type in "register" in the
search box and click "this site" then hit the first search result.

You can top-up online, but you first need to register for online account
access. http://www1.orange.co.uk/yourmobileaccount/ will get you
started.

The credit card system seems to be ropey at the best of times, other
than percy-vere with it the only other option is to call 450. If you
have registered your card details you may still be able to do an
automated top-up without speaking to anyone.
