Seeing Orange

Wednesday, October 25, 2006 5:04:41 PM (GMT Standard Time, UTC+00:00)

I don’t know about you but I had always thought Orange were the mutt’s nuts when it came to service so after a few years on other networks we decided to give them another try as their tariffs weren’t much more expensive than the competition.

All was great, we signed up and were told that we’d get a load of cash back because we’d signed up a number of phones etc but when it sounds too good to be true it probably is, we’re now coming to the end of our 12month contract and we’re still chasing the credit we’re owed which leaves me wondering whether I want to remain with Orange at the end of the term.

It’s not like we’ve not tried chasing them, I call both the Orange store representative we have AND the customer service centre every month when I get the bill, I’ve also popped in a few times with all the signed paperwork. I don’t think I’d mind sitting on hold for an hour at a go to get through to a representative if I knew that at the end of the call I’d get somewhere but alas we’re still waiting…

Surfing around Google I see I’m not the only one, then I stumbled across this petition which, oddly enough, is run by one of our newer clients. So if you’re also having issues with Orange’s Customer Service go sign it and lets sort this out!

Had a chat with someone at orange yesterday to discuss my last trip to berlin and not beeing able to connect to any network whilst there. Amaizingly, i got through within 5 min which was incredible ..and yes , i say INCREDIBLE. i was in berlin a month ago and had no way of connecting even though my roaming is fine. I tried calling orange, this is international and waited for an hour before giving up. Yesterday i spoke to this guy at orange and this was his explanation on why my phone didnt work. "IT IS POSSIBLE THAT NETWORK IN BERLIN YOU WERE TRYING TO CONNECT TO WAS DOWN, YOU PHONE SHOULD WORK FINE". i told the guy is it possible that all 5 networks were down and he said yes its possible. WHAT?!!!..5 NETWORKS DOWN IN A EUROPEAN CITY !!...THESE GUYS AT ORANGE ARE NUTS...I DONT KNOW WHO THEY GOT THERE BUT THESE GUYS ARE A JOKE!...i told them i want team leader to contact me back ...still no call back. orange were great few years back this is now just taking the piss. Its really scary how bad their customer service is. i think its time to get in touch with offtel. I think this is what you need to do tim, write a letter to oftel and they will get in touch with executive dept. at orange and you should get your money back. this is the only way ...i cant see orange doing anything.
