I'd love to agree but I've been around a fair bit in terms of mobile providers (o2, 3g and vodafone) and all have been absolutely fabulous no matter what I threw at them! Anyways, just got off the phone to a supervisor (the first bloke I've been out through to!) and he seems to be making more sense than all the twats previously. Fingers crossed this all gets sorted...I hate it when things like this ruin an otherwise good life!

My whole family have been with orange for a while and not had any probs like you...this is my first outing with them and I'm now contemplating taking the legal route. I've spoken to them again tonight twice! The options they are giving me: 1. Buy out my contract - cost approx £480!! 2. They will send me a replacement phone tomorrow out of 'goodwill'. Nevermind that I'm owed a free one anyway due to it being within my 6mth warranty period AND I have insurance cover! but the real kicker is....if they subsequently find that my phone is not faulty...they will charge me £300 for the new one they sent out!!!! needless to say I went absolutely APE when they told me this!! I've been trying for 4feckin weeks to get someone to look at my phone, even telling them that although I am SUPPOSED to get a new replacement, I would settle for them just repairing it. They keep refusing to call it in as they claim its not faulty (how the hell would they know without looking at it???) and now they say that if it turns out not to be faulty, I have to pay £300!! If anyone has any notion of the regulatory bodies for mobile service providers I'd be very very grateful to hear from you! I'm not backing down on this as they are well and truly trying to tear me a bumhole and I most certainly do not float that way at all.... Absolutely fuming...I'm actually expecting a call from a 'supervisor' any minute now...

Bit of a rant! I started on a new orange contract last november and all was well until the GPS (satnav) stopped working on my phone in April. I tried to sort it myself with resetting the phone etc but still doesn't work. Reported it to orange 21st May....and its still not been sorted! Not even a recall to see if they can fix it!! I've been on the phone to them about 7times,e ach time speaking to someone different in the call center and each time having to spend a good 10mins explaining everything! They have repeatedly failed to relay core information to their technical team who just come back with more idiot questions like 'have you tried to use it outside?'. F8cking tw$ts! Anyway, long story short I called up tonight and said if I don't have a solid answer about how they are going to rectify this I will terminate my contract by friday evening. Problem now is..I'm not sure if I actually can! lol...I believe if I put a stop payment, there's not much they can do except send the collectors who can have the handset back as far as I care and my credit rating might be affected? I just don't want to be paying, effectively for a handset, that doesn't do what its supposed to do! Anyone have similar experiences/know of what I can do to get this sorted? Better yet..anyone actually work at Orange?? ( a long shot I know!)

hello mate...you can send emails to my hotmail address. Its my username at hotmail.com. Cheers bud, really appreciate it!

A very happy birthday to you sir! Have a drink on me! :duffer:

This is me on the left! They clearly thought I looked 'special'! lol Didn't even know i was on the site til a friend of a friend found me randomly!! I've supposedly made an appearance in some NHS leaflets as well (NOT for any dodgy diseases down below!) as well as my high point of being Mr February in the Reading Uni calender!!:cool:

Rofl:rofl:

I would do almost anything for engine bay CF....:hyper:

I was told on here a while back that its just for sound proofing and doesn't affect the paint at all....have left mine in place so far though...

:rofl::rofl: sweet karma that one! Only downside being the knowledge that the little scrote will get free treatment at our expense on the NHS! :mad: should just let it go gangrene and fall off....

midnight purple?

...and didn't get busted!! ;)

At the junction of tooting bec today around 2.30ish? We saw each other and honked/waved. Not seen you around before...very nice looking Zed!

i have to say that i like it....think it makes the back look really clean and I can see what you mean about making it look wider! Only thing i think I would have done diff is to have a light up panel in red with the reverse lights blacked out...but top job nonetheless!

aha...cheers for the explanation! :bow:

i apologise for my ignorance...but what's edfc??:confused:

Good shout Joely! lol...just mulling over ideas really. Torn between CF and black chrome. This paint dipping idea sounds good but expensive? Does anyone have any links/info?

All the dash kit threads made me have a squizz on fleabay and I cam across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-300ZX-90-91-92-93-94-95-96-BLACK-CHROME-Dash-Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em122QQcategoryZ33705QQihZ004QQitemZ140236426374QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V does anyone have this installed or anything similar? I've seem pics of the ally and CF kits but never one of this black chrome...might be quite nice i think...

any 'in progress' pics?

very very tough this year. thought all of the last 5acts were awesome. Can't fault the winner though...to think a 14yr old choreographed and practised that all by himself is just unreal!!

pmsl....thats awesome!! Good job! It's hard not to take the bait!

i can't say i love it but its not as horrendous as i was thinking it would be...if he had some of it on the body might look a bit better...?

Does anyone have links for how-to's for general maintenance on a UK Auto TT? In particular things like oil change/auto check/auto fluid change/etc? I want to start getting more involved with the car as don't really have any experience and thought decent maintenance would be a good start...especially as I think the car's starting to develop minor problems which may (or may not) be fixed with some basic work... Cheers all...

She used get her bags out..worth a google images search if you ask me! ;) However, I maintain that not only is Nathalie Kelley near perfection but that she stomps all over Jess!!:tongue:

Just finished watching Tokyo Drift (again!) and I know it's all CGi and a bit far from the truth of it but the cars are all so damn sexy!! Geez I wish I could win the lotto - the Zed would be transformed into a God!!! Just thought I'd share that with you all...lol...:tongue: Also...how FIT is Nathalie Kelly?? :eek:
