Orange UK Rip You Off With Calls To Customer Service - How To Call For Free
I have just registered a Pay As You Go Orange UK sim only to find that it cost 20p a minute to call customer services using the sim. You can call 07973100450 from any phone which is at mobile rates. So effectively Orange make money out of any one phoning them whether it be to give praise (ha!) or complain, or just to find out why things that were meant to happen have not.
What a load of shit. It should be illegal to do that. No one would accept having to pay to talk to the manager of a store in person so why is it ok to charge people to access the only route of communication with a company or service provider? It’s not.
But there is a way around this - simply phone 08000790006 for free from a land line. This is the new sim registration number which is of course free to entice people to register ["it's so easy and free too!" {unlike the actual service...}] and who ever you get to talk to can connect you internally.
If I have to give my money to a bunch of horrible twats I’ll at least give them as little as possible.
