I have 2 mobiles......both Nokia 6100's. I'm still on my first number and the original contract BT cellnet advance. I pay 120 quid a year but get a 70 quid cashback if i dont upgrade. Suits me fine. Great little phone.

I don't dispute the tarrif (although it didn't exist when pslewis said that he signed up), but seeing as you are still on it, could you answer a little question?
It is a "contract tarrif" n'est pas - so how is it billed and do you get a monthly statement? Our resident (or currently, non-resident) troll claims...
...but i can't see Orange waiting 4 months for payment. In fact, payments are normally made via direct debit - so he won't have a choice.
If you don't pay by direct debit (thus theoretically being able to delay payment), Orange will add a "Non Direct Debit charge" (see the back of your bill for details). This will increase the bill way above the claimed 35p!!!
I am soooo enjoying this thread

So, billed each month, and it is taken out by direct debit, last bill was £2.50, had a look earlier.
It is funny when the mobile companies ring up though as Pete says, and they ask how much I spend a month.

I also have to vouch for Pete as I'm on the Orange Virgin tariff too, and my bills can be as low as £0.00/month. 
Mine also comes off by direct debit though, but who notices 10p/month.
Always have a mild chuckle at everyone who is paying their £35/month and thinking they're on a great deal

Reason being, I'm a fairly heavy user and if I were paying for my useage my bills would be over £200 a month, however my tariff is such that £35 is all I ever pay.
If you used £200 of content on your Oranage tariff, your bill would be £200 per month, so how can my deal not be described as "great"?

You're a "proper" user
When I submitted my post, I meant to add "for a large majority of the public who don't really need hundreds & thousands of minutes per month"

I must admit I don't know how my thumb still works considering I sometimes send in excess of 2000 texts a month!!

I'm a bit late to this whole saga but I'll join in anyway.
I do have a bit of sympathy for PSL here. SO many people laughed at him and called him a loser but when he ask all those people to put up their hand and take responsibility for what they'd said only one or two people did.
It's like this on every internet forum. As soon as someone says, "what you're saying can't be right" there's a hammering of "YEAH! WHAT HE SAID!" It's pathetic.
I STRONGLY doubt what PSL is claiming here and I have taken on board the fact that he has swiftly left the building. BUT, I'm gutted at a lot of people's lack of responsibility for their comments.

Better resurrect this so it doesn't get forgotten. Especially as PSL has been testing the water by lurking in the drivetrain forum and the insurance forum enquiring about insurance for some performance mods to his wagon

A timely bump for this thread, as it is now just over a month since Mr Lewis posted the following...
...so you should now have a nice new statement to photograph and post on Scoobynet!!!

The bill clearly shows that it is an ORANGE bill on the VIRGIN Equivalent Contract .....
