Will Switching Tariff Cancel my Orange Out Here Pack?

#1 (**permalink**) 05-13-2008, 07:43 PM

Hello. I would like to take advantage of the new "Animal" Orange PAYG
tariffs.

However, I would like to be certain that I will not lose the Out Here
pack I have had with my SIM card (the 5 free texts a day for life
one).

Will changing from my current tariff (the Standard "Choose Your Own
Off-Peak" tariff) to Canary cause me to sacrifice the Out Here pack?

Kind Regards,

Matt

Almost certainly yes. I have an OH SIM that I now keep exclusively for the
SMS messages. It means an extra phone but it's worth it IMO. Wouldn't
touch Orange for any other use now.

It does cancel your out here. My wife moved from Out here to the 300 free
texts for £10 and it does tell you that you'll lose your 'text saver' (as it
called it!) when you moved tariffs. Still I've still got two OOH SIMs in
case she wants to go back to that (although she'll have to change her
number!!!)
