Advantages: None unless you have the patience of a saint Disadvantages: Head gets cold where you have pulled it out in frustation
I have been with Orange since the year dot, and apart from minor problems over the years had not, until the last 4/5 months had any problems worth mentioning. However when I decided to upgrade my plan, things started to go drastically wrong. I was advised which new tariff I should change to (which should have saved me money), only to find out the the plan had not been implemented. When I phoned up to query it, I was offered no apology, or refund, ... ...came in, still on the old plan, so my bill was even higher than before.

Advantages: Excellent e-mail service, online ordering Disadvantages: Low range of pay as you go phones available
Orange.co.uk offer a free 10MB e-mail service which is what I mainly use the site for.
Just like other e-mail providers such as Lycos, Orange offer a free 10MB e-mail account with Outlook/Outlook Express synchronising.
There is NO spam, I have not received one spam e-mail to date. True I do not give out my e-mail address to many online companies however I have not been filled with spam e-mail by Orange unlike providers such as Hotmail and Yahoo.

Overall I use the Orange.co.uk site mainly for their free e-mail service and would definitely recommend it. ...

I've had mobile phones since the days of the brick, and got my first one back in 1997. First I tried cellnet (now 02), then one2one (now T mobile), this is the first time I have tried orange, and I'm suitably impressed.
When ... ...the Orange shop, this is easy to find on the main home page. In the shop I chose the special offers, they are without doubt better than anything on the high street, you are given a choice of handsets, some are free and some at an additional charge, I cose the Nokia 3510 which at the time was free (sorry, I'm not sure of the names of the other handsets - they change so often!). There were a number of special deals available, offering inclusive text ...
