Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / May 2005Orange deal from rep at the door
Just had orange rep at the door tonight. Nokia 6225 15c/30sec to mobiles, 24c for 10mins landline, 15c SMS, No monthly minimum spend, no monthly fee for handset. No upfront fee. Must stay connected for 24 months. Plan is called text and talk. Couldn't pass it up. Anyone else had this offer, apparently only available from door to door rep. No heard of this deal before Would be interested in this deal myself. Did your rep leave his details and is he in Sydney or Melbourne > Just had orange rep at the door tonight. > > Nokia 6225 15c/30sec to mobiles, 24c for 10mins landline, 15c SMS, No > monthly minimum spend, no monthly fee for handset.

Or the rep lied and it isnt as good a deal as it claims. Hope you have the details in writing. >Just had orange rep at the door tonight. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Couldn't pass it up. Anyone else had this offer, apparently only available >from door to door rep. f.cking great. Thanks for encouraging Front Door Spam. Oh well, you'll soon see that you only get what you pay for. Orange customer service is awful, IMHO, and wait until you need to make a call from a shopping centre and discover THERE'S NO SERVICE! I am with Qrange and find their pricing excellent. If there is no orance service at a shopping centre then you will roam to Telstra. Even when roaming to Telstra their pricing is excellent. I have always been satisfied when calling orange for any reason. I have never had a complaint about their billing system. Have had three phones for 2+ years.

Orange customer >service is awful, IMHO, and wait until you need to make a call from a >shopping centre and discover THERE'S NO SERVICE! Orange customer service is fine. Indoor coverage does suck in places but it's well worth it when you consider the call costs. Had other Orange phones for years now, and have no problems in our area. Know of others on the fringe of the Orange coverage and they have had problems. It seems to be at the point of roaming over to Telstra is the issue. >>Just had orange rep at the door tonight. >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > service is awful, IMHO, and wait until you need to make a call from a > shopping centre and discover THERE'S NO SERVICE! > >Just had orange rep at the door tonight. > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > service is awful, IMHO, and wait until you need to make a call from a > shopping centre and discover THERE'S NO SERVICE! Only an idiot expects indoor service in a huge concrete building from Orange If you dont understand the difference b/w CDMA and GSM, and the size of the network, youre an idiot Michael said.... > If you dont understand the difference b/w CDMA and GSM, and the size of > the network, youre an idiot That's rather harsh, isn't it? Unless the guy's a technician who works on mobile phone equipment, he's not expected to know the difference between the two services. And he can't be called an "idiot" because of this. Sometimes I reckon people here take the mobile phone thing just a tad too seriously.... >Just had orange rep at the door tonight. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Couldn't pass it up. Anyone else had this offer, apparently only available >from door to door rep. What's the name of the rate plan? It should be on your documents. Talk and text. No number after the name like other plans on the web site as it has no minimum spend. He said that this plan isn't listed on the web as it is only for door sales. >>Just had orange rep at the door tonight. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > What's the name of the rate plan?

I thought u already said this in a previous post? :-) It does sound to good to be true. Anyway do you know what company here is from. I would really like that deal. It should say somewhere on the form. It could be something like orangedirect or something totaly diferent like AMI. Have you already gotten the phone? Thanks, Roma.  Signatureroma As everyone suspected, this was a dud deal. The Rep was from SalesForce and made up his own deal. He had no brochures, did not put his details on the contract, and left no contact details. I spoke orange and they said the contract had not been entered into their system, so no phones have arrived. They said they will cancel if it does get entered. They would not give me contact details for Salesforce so I looked them up and rang them myself. Got through to the team leader, and he knew who covered this area, and was most concerned to hear my story. Surprise, surprise, the guy has gone back to India. Other issues to watch. The customer gets the last copy of a 4 part contract form, and is unreadable. I scanned the top copy before the guy took off. Make sure the reps fill out all fields on the form, and check for correct dates. > It does sound to good to be true. > Anyway do you know what company here is from.

Hold on to that as you may need it :-) >Just had orange rep at the door tonight. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Couldn't pass it up. Anyone else had this offer, apparently only available >from door to door rep. See <http://www.orange.net.au/pages/article.aspx?id=1&pageId=246&HandlerId=1&showvari ation=yes> for the "Orange JustTalk&Text" suite of plans. Doesn't have the plan you speak of listed. Yep, Those dodgy f.ckers work for Salesforce. Some salesforce reps will tell you that you can cancel the plan at any time and pay no disconnection fee or exit fees. Load of crap! Where do you take your mobile to when it fails? Pretty sure the rep will be well and truly gone by then. You can get the same deal from any orange dealer and possible get a triple pack thrown in for free, plus you have the backend support when things go wrong (sometimes!) > Just had orange rep at the door tonight. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Couldn't pass it up.

Just dont go to ABC Telephone Co >Just had orange rep at the door tonight. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Couldn't pass it up. Anyone else had this offer, apparently only available >from door to door rep. I have asked Orange specifically about scenario you described above.. I was told that there is no Orange "talk & text" plan with a zero minimum monthly spend. Also, there is also no way of getting a Nokia 6225 for free (other than some special arrangement with Orange). If I were you I'd be calling Orange customer care and asking for confirmation of the deal offered to you by the door-to-door salesperson. I'd be keeping notes of who you spoke with and when. Most states (if not all) have some sort of cooling off period for door-to-door sales. > Just had orange rep at the door tonight. > > Nokia 6225 15c/30sec to mobiles, 24c for 10mins landline, 15c SMS, No > monthly minimum spend, no monthly fee for handset.
