Orange terrible customer service

In my opinion Orange offer cheaper handsets on pay as you go but you will pay the real price of the phone if you ever have to use their customer service in person, to be fair it is not so bad on their helpline but 'customer service' in their Dundee Overgate shop is truly appalling. When i had lost a phone the helpline sent me out a replacement sim card, however when i went to the shop to buy a new handset i was told i would have to buy a £20 top up which would be credited to a different sim which i did not need as there was already credit on my replacement sim card sent from the helpline. They refused to sell me the handset without the new sim and top-up, on top of this it took abut 2 weeks to receive the replacement sim card. When i argued that i had lost a phone and was going to buy a new phone and orange would still have a customer etc i was greeted with a barage of verbal abuse.

In the end i went to another orange shop in Dundee outside the wellgate and they helped sort the mess out, orange have since closed this shop that helped and left the other one open. After this sour experience i decided to unlock my orange hanset and go back to Virgin who i never had a problem with but left because i was won over by the cheaper orange handset. Moral of the story - don't be tricked into cheaper handsets!

My good friends call me Jay. On Wednesday, 5th January 2017, I decided to switch from Pay as you Go to a wonderful Pay Monthly deal which included me paying absolutely nothing for up to four months because of my amazing phone fund given to me for being such a great loyal customer.
On Wednesday, 5th January 2017, I phoned orange. The customer service representative told me assured me that I will receive my phone, a Blackberry 8520 (Black) on the coming Friday, 7th January 2017. By Friday, I waited hours for my delivery, and phoned up to check ([protected]). To my amazement, “The phone is out of stock. There is no delivery coming to you yet. I have now put the order through. You will receive your phone this coming Monday”.
By Monday, 10th January 2017, I waited for my phone. I waited, got impatient and phoned in order to be given a specific time to expect delivery if possible. Again, “The phones are out of stock. You couldn’t have possibly been told that you would receive a delivery today. There is nothing on the way to you. I cannot tell you when you will be guaranteed a phone as we do not know when a phone to expect deliveries”. I phoned another customer service representative. I spoke to “Steve” on Extension 47260, if I remember correctly and another on 62427 afterwards. I was then advised that they were finally in stock. Both versions; silver and black. I then telephoned orange again at about 4pm, and was told to expect my order between 9am and 5pm on Tuesday, 11th January 2017.
It is now 13:35hrs, Tuesday 11th January 2017. There is no phone. I phoned orange again, and they tell me the phones are still out of stock, and there is no phone coming to my address today or any time soon. WHY HAVE I BEEN REPEATEDLY LIED TO? Why all this distress. Up to this past week, I have always referred to Orange as the perfect network.

I appreciate your frustration, I had a similar problem.

To get it sorted out I called Orange and had a chat to them, explained exactly what was happening and told them what I expected to happen. They said they couldn't do a few things (give me free line rental for 12 months (suppose if you don't ask then you don't get!)) but as they knew how frustrated I was they managed to get the line sorted out.

Whenever I speak to a company I remind myself that they are just human! Much of the time they do just want to sort things out though unless you contact them directly (again ;) ) then they don't always know that you're angry!

Let me know how it goes!

Orange very high bill due to carelessness

i was asked by mobinil to pay for my first monthly bill that was supposed to be by only 25 LE as i did not exceed the 5000 minutes for a free number that i am fully sure that i confirmed that number to one of customer service agents on 18.12.2010 at 9.05 AM
But when to pay, i was told that you should pay more than 300 LE
and still waiting a message from them to cancel the over amount for that previous free number.

Orange oberon media scam

My 12 year old son applied for a" free game" from the News Of The World paper, simply text "YES" to a number and you get a free game for your mobile. He did this, received the game, then text again "STOP" to ensure no more games were received.

Now by Oberon Media that is a sister company, they have bombarded my sons mobile with obscene photos of women, with all their glory on show! My son dosen't even know about sex yet and these peodofiles are still trying to send these crude photo texts and run up the orange phone bill to, wait for it, £1, 068.98p! Hello, is anybody at orange looking into this - NO, we have to pay it. Any suggestions please!

I recently travelled to india, and had to use my mobile phone, i immediately picked up the net work of Airtel, as i had used this network in spain, i presumed all would be ok. we had to contact our bank and rang the familiy. when i returned home, i received just half of my bill for 10 days it was £250, Orange have denied all responsibility and blamed the network in India. Why when we travel abroad are we not notified of charges etc, this bill has crucified me!

Several months ago, I visited your shop on Princes Street in Edinburgh to discuss an upgrade to my Orange contract.

I am visually impaired/blind and, as such, require an accessible phone.

I was assured by one of the staff, a man named Omar, that the Motorola DEXT would be suitable for my needs. I was informed it has TTS installed. After much effort on my part it became clear that the DEXT is not, in fact, accessible and is completely unsuitable. It does not include any TTS system. My partner was with me at the time and will verify I was told the phone is accessible.

I attempted to raise this matter with the shop, and was told there was nothing they could do to help.

After emailing customer services I have been told to go back to the manager of the shop and that they cannot help me. When they called me back the customer service agent was very abrupt/rude and told me that their hands were tied.

I went into a shop in Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow recently. They contacted the shop in Edinburgh. Omar at first claimed he could not remember me, and then insisted he told me to contact Customer Services for advice.

I then phone Customer Services again by phone. They were rude and insisted there was nothing they could do.

It has become clear that I was misled regarding this phone, presumably in an effort to get me to renew my contract. Nobody in your company is now prepared to do anything about this.

I regard this as illegal mis-selling.

This is the second time Orange has erred with an upgrade. On the previous occasion I rang Customer Services upgrades department and explained I needed a phone running either a Symbian or Windows Mobile operating system. They told me the LG Viewty was accessible and on Windows Mobile. When I received the phone it was quite clear this was not true. I returned the phone and eventually upgraded to an SPV-650 which, when speech was eventually installed, ran very slowly and actually worked, after a fashion, despite regular firmware crashes.

I am currently having to use a Nokia N73 that I purchased privately, as the DEXT is unusable.

we had a contract for 24 month for a dongle we paid every month till contract was done then we didn't use dongle but they automatically continued to charge us they wanted 87 pounds something, when my husband rang up they said we will pay it my husband explained that we wouldn't as we didn't agree to continue using the dongle, they now sent a letter by debt collectors saying we have to contact and pay within a week, my husband payed the money as he d loose more money in going court which is money we cant afford .is this right and is this how big companies work ?

Around 2 months ago I viewed my account on the website and went to add an additional magic number to my account. These are numbers that you acquire every 6 months and are free of charge to call and not included on your bill. I found that Orange had wiped my previous 2 numbers and so instead of adding my 3rd number I was back to adding my first. I then phoned up to complain only to be told that it would take up to 16 weeks to restore them and that if I wanted to clai, m back any money I had lost it would be up to me to spend hours on the phone sorting it out. Following this I then tried to change my talk plan online. It appeared to allow me to change to a 'dolphin 30' package, usually charged at £30 per month but with this deal you only pay £25. Instead I ended up with the same £20 deal I currently had but paying £25. When I phoned to complain they said they would change my plan the following month, still leaving me 1 month out of pocket and then subsequently didn't. So I'm still paying £25 a month for a contract I don't want. Please someone take me away from this awful company...I hate them.

I changed from AOL to Orange broadband wirless, once I recieved the box and tryed to install it the set up cd was not working. I then called orange Tech support which they then told me that I was not going to be connected untill two days later. I waited patiently with no internet access as AOL had cancelled my account. I called then two days later and the tech support went through a process manually of giving me access. Five days later the whole system went down at 1am I waited till the morning and called them. They got me to go through some steps of testing it and then told me there system was down and I should call the next day. Which I did and they told me the same thing and that I needed a line test done and to call them in 24 to 48 hours. I have been on the phone to them many hours and many days in total 10-15 days. They are continuosly telling me the same thing and refusing to cancel my account without having to pay the 12 month contract. Which on one occasion a supervisor told me they were canceling it and then I was to contact customer support for it to go through at there end. This did not go through and Tech support is telling me to contact customer support as they can't authorise it and then customer support is telling me they can't authorise it. Because of this I am unable to get access to any other broadband provider and currently am connect by dial up with AOL. Orange services are unreliable and unsatisfactory.

Internet crashed and due to lodger moving out we didn't have passord to re-install, We notified Wanadoo who refused to help us get service and continued to take Direct Debits from the account for the next year, totalling £200, Eventually, my credit card company stopped them taking more.

Told me they would continue to take payments from the account (or my estate if I died) until contacted by lodger who had set up account for us as they had his name on file!

They admit they have the money but refused to provide service or refund. Neither we, nor Financial ombudsman could get nowhere with them. They just said "We don't have to refund your money".

Orange sent me bills for 2 mobile contracts purchased in my name (Account no: [protected]). I am not sure how they give 24 month contracts without any verification. When I complained, they just ignored it just as another fraud.

Why the hell they can not validate a customer beofre giving a connection. I think the whole responsibility lies with Orange. Why we have to suffer because of their poor business practices.

I have been with Orange for just over a year now.

I set up this contract with a third party copmany, who agreed to pay my £105 every three months. HTey only paid me once and this was after endless phonecalls and letters. So, i was in touch with trading standards and they told me to write to Orange. which i did, twice and they refused to accknowlegde that i sent them anything, I also called orange about 40 times. receiving no help whatsoever. I finally received a letter back which i had sent to the third party company, it was my own letter with not at this adress written on it. THis meant, like the trading standards had said that the company had gone bust, so i called orange again and again. nothing. During this period I set up the ICON 225 internet, they said that the first 3 months would be free and that there woulndt be any extra charges becase the gigabites were so big, i also requested that my mobile phone bill and the Orange icon 225 bill would be split. The latter 3 were not met.

my dad then rung Orange to get th fact thatthe thrid comppand had stopped paying me sorted and to either, cancell the contract or get it at a lower rate. It took him half an hour for him to be transfered to someone hwo could actually sort it. Even though when he first got on the phone to them he had told them that the person on the other end couldnt sort it. After around 3 hours on the phone they eventually agreed to put the bill down to £25 with unlimited texts and 300 minutes. This i was happy with, it was an affordable bill. Un benowest to me that wouldnt be the last time that i would be calling orange that week. I then got a bill through for £124. I was shocked, i didnt have that much money to pay them. It ended up that they had added the janruary and february Icon 225 bill which came to £30 onto it. When the man had told me my first 3 months would be free, and on a seperate bill. Then they told I had been charged £16 for the megabites that i went over even though thhey had said i wouldnt go over. I called orange to see what could be done, they gave me three options that could happen, although i had requested that the contract be cancelled. they said i could buy out the contract, cant afford to do that, sell the contract, who would want it after all the problems i had had with it or just pay it. THe man was rude, he was a team leader, he laughed in my face at the fact i wanted to cancel the contract. I then called my mum and when i got home she spoke to them. My mum and dad luckily agreed that they would pay the bill this month.

The saturday 14th came and the full amount had been put on (as they had taken a double payment the month before) and i called up top pay it. I had to call them back as the phone went dead but i couldnt because all outbound calls were barred. So, using the housephone i did, i then told the man that i had just payed it and that i wanted the bills splitting. He said that he would put me through to someone who could help. This lady then claimed that she couldnt split the bill as i hadnt paid the outstanding balance. By this point i had had it with Orange as i had paid the balance 40 minutes previously. I told them at collections this and they acknowelged and put a note on my account (somthing that they dont even look at, the millions of notes i have on my account). She then after me losing my temper didnt speak and i had to listen to her talking to her colleagues. Randomly i got put through to another person in another department who didnt even know why I had called. This lady was called Isha, the only name i took of the day. Eventually she sorted it, and i am waiting to see if i do get the next three months free, and split bills.

The customer services are crucial in making a happy customer. This department blatently has no communication system, noone who calls customers back to tell them what is happening. The only thing they seem to do is take your money and sell things with false claims.

Up until janruary I had had excellent service from orange, but i had had only little problems. I am highly frustrated and cannot wait until the contract is over.

Upon arriving in Spain we contracted with Orange because our daughter, who was a foreign student at the time, also had
a phone from Orange. We were told that that the cost between us would be .35 euors for the first call each day to her and .03 euors there after.
It took us 3 separate meeting with the personel in the store in Seville to get that rate. Even the employee of Orange was frustrated with the people she had to deal with on the other end of the phone to get this resolved. However, these employees had no authority to credit funds back to our account and make it right, even though these same employees set the terms up with us. Orange screws their employees and their customers all at the same time.

We paid a bunch for telephone service and spent hours dealing with a problem that didnt get resolved until the time we had to leave.
Next time I'll bring my phone from the states. Don't believe them when they tell you its cheaper to get the phone over there. Not true.
You'll waste your time because these people have all the time in the world and could care less how much of your time they take. They are Europerns not Americans and do not value time.

I have just finally freed myself from Orange, long story but they basically messed up my e mail address when I registered, totally spelling my name wrong..this may have been down to the fact that the agent could neither speak nor understand basic english... I had two choices, wait another 20 days to re register or obtain a new email address using the pay as you go system..

I opted for the latter..what they didnt tell me was I had to log in the the original account every 90 days..or I would be cut off..this happened quite often as I didnt need an email address with my name mispelt.. Trying to get it sorted was a nightmare..as I cannot speak broken english!.. The ironical thing..if you ring up and tell them your leaving they immediatly switch you to a call centre based in the UK and you are put through to someone who attempts to talk you out of it by offering free months, modems and reduced charges.

If you need further proof that this firm are awful read the latest which ISP ratings..Orange are at the bottom (again!)

Orange referral to debt collecting agency with no notification

wish to complain about the way Orange Home referred me over to a Debt Collecting Agency.

In October 2009 my family wanted to go over to Talk Talk which meant that i had to cancel my orange broadband. I had an email from Orange saying that my account was cancelled on the 16th October and that no further bills would be generated. As my account was on Direct Debit the wording of this email gave me the impression that my account was clear and I did not owe anything.

You can imagine my surprise when I received a letter from Direct Legal and collections last week approximately six months later informing me that I had to pay a debt of £17.61 immediately. I did ring up and tell Direct legal and collections that I had no notification from Orange home that I even owed this debt If I owed it fair enough but why did Orange Home not inform me at the time when I cancelled broadband. Direct Legal and collections said that Orange Home should have sent me notification about the debt but they were not really interested in why no notification had been sent. I also sent Direct Legal and collections an email where Orange had stated in writing that my broadband account had been closed on the 16th October and no futher bills would be generated but they were not interested in what I had in writing from Orange.

I was rather mystified why Orange Home referred me over to a Debt collecting agency without any notification of this debt and why did they tell me no further bills would be generated and then refer me over to a debt collector.

I did email customer services about two weeks ago but as to date no reply. Have also written letter of complaint which will be posted tomorrow but do not expect to get any joy. Needless to say I will not be recommending Orange Broadband. I think it would have been far more courteous if Orange Home had written to me in the first place to inform me about the debt before referring me over to debt collector.

I did pay the debt because I wanted a peaceful life and I wanted the debt collection agency off my back think how many others have Orange Home done this too i wonder.

Orange ridiculous

When your 18 month contract runs out they will sign you up automatically for another 18 month without even asking you. not only that but when I enquired about an upgrade on my existing phone they told me because i had recently already renewed my contract it would be £100 quid, all because i didnt phone them until a week AFTER my previous contract ended, a contract which they renewed without my permission!

not only that, but do not ever under any circumstances let them put you on hold, 1hour initial hold to get through to the customer services, 30 min to get through to the department that deals with contract renewals and 15 minuits to get through to the department that deals with handset upgrades! i spent more time on hold than anything! absolutly rediculous.

not only that but since this happened i have had them charge me twice for the same month, refuse to replace a stolen handset on their insurance (despite clearly saying they do) and ring me up at least once a week to try and get me to upgrade DESPITE the fact that i know from the above fiasco that itll cost me £100!

Email us on orangedraw09@live.com to redeem.

Is this part of an international scam?

Orange agreements and internet speed

Dear Sirs,
1- I have upgraded my internet service to to 2Mbps for a drop to 1Mbps when the max download is exceeded.
Orange Jordan refuses to recognize the agreement and drops the speed to 128Kbps by some decision of one of its managers.
I have tried to solve the problem with them for the past 2 months; no manager will talk to me, they do not answer telephones, I am fed up with Orange management here in Jordan please help.
2- I pay for 2 Mbps speed, and after carrying out speed test on the internet, all of them gave under 1 Mbps.
They have given some stupid answers to our controlling authority after I complained to them about Orange.
Orange is not serving its customers with honesty.
I decided to leave by the end of September to another service provider, and I will lodge a complain with the Anti-Corruption authorities to open an investigation about Orange -Jordan

Firstly bear in mind that the speed actually reaching you will never be as fast as the quoted figure. The 2Mbps quoted will be what Orange is willing to provide though the actual speed shown from a speed test is down to the system once it leaves Orange, ie where you are on their network will affect how fast the data actually is for example.

Why isn't a manager willing to help you? Have they given you their final decision that you're not happy with? If there's anything the company can actually do for you then I'm sure they'll be able to sort it out.
Regarding your service being dropped to 128, they should be able to drop your tariff price to reflect this if you ask them.

Orange faulty bill

Dear customers of Mobinil,

As one of the old customers of this provider, I'm going through very bad experience now.
Let this letter of complaint be a warning to all of you and a kind of guide to those facing the same problem.

Briefly, my line was cut without warning for exceeding the credit limits. I've got the detailed bill and together with Mobinil agent we found mistake in calculation of internet data. We filed a complaint.I was told my bill will be changed at the end of the month. But to open the line I should pay 2000EGP. I paid.
At the end of the month I got a message warning my line will be cut for the same reasons. When i went to the same Mobinil agent, the team leader refused to help me. He said the invoice was correct and I could complain to whoever i wanted.
Shocked with such rude and unprofessional attitude, I called 155. It's the National telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA), specializing on such cases. My complaint was received. Within 14 days my case should be sorted out. The personnel in this agency surprised my with their high efficiency and quick respond.
I don't know why Mobinil can't correct my invoice when the mistake is so obvious, just simple calculation mistake. I've god the proof and going to fight for my rights.

Summarizing the above, if you have got any problem similar to mine, please DO NOT keep quite. Fight for your rights.
Please dial 155 and you will find qualified specialists to help you.

Dear Hany,

Nothing is solved up till now. As I've found out NTRA can only advice Mobinil to pay attention to my case, but they can't force them to pay me back. So I went to course. Once we informed the company about my intention, Mobinil offerd me 50% discount on hte bill if I close the issue. Can you imagine? It's ridiculous.

So I went to court. The case has been open. But court hasn't taken any desicion. My husband told me it can last for years, normal practise in Egypt.

Anyhow I'm not going to give up. Still have a hope to sue the company for all this headache i'm going through.

Regards

Ekaterina

Not sure if this is relevant. I am with Orange in UK and he is on Mobinil. But I am having severe problems texting/calling my nephew in Cairo from UK- he goes to the University of Cairo but lives in Tokh City - NONE of my messages get delivered - 'problem with network'!

Anyone else experiencing this! Does this work OK if you are messaging/calling if you are IN CAIRO?! When I do visit Egypt my 'Orange' usually automatically connects into Mobinil!

Problem has been intermittent over several weeks - but now been unable to send/deliver ANY messages from UK for about 3 weeks (dated 7th May 2010) Susan Glover

Dear Ekaterina,

I have a problem with my Mobinil data line bill as well, my data line package gives me a limit of 3GB for 150 EGP a month, after exceeding the limit, each 1MB should cost me 0.25 EGP.

After receiving a bill of 561.86 EGP, I asked Mobinil bills customer service for the total MBs used, they told me that this information can't be provided unless I get a detailed bill report (for a fee of 23 EGP).

I requested a detailed bill report to find the reason for the problem, I got a 64 pages report with no total for the data MBs used.

Moreover, I found that the extra data used is calculated on the rate of 0.01EGP per Byte used, which means -with a simple calculation- that each Megabyte costs 10.48EGP (not 0.25 EGP).

I placed a complaint and called them a couple of times asking for some qualified support personnel to call me in order to discuss the issue and have it either sorted out, or have them convince me that i have any misunderstanding.

I've been haunting them for a week now, and the only response I get is that "We've revised the bill and it's correct" and I'm told that some qualified personnel will call me later, and of course, no body calls me back.

@Ekaterina: Thanks for the tip about the NTRA complaints number, that will be my next step. How did things go with you by the way, did your problem get sorted out already or not?

I'll be fighting for my right.

I have a similar problem
First, I got a high bill, about 200 pounds (usually I pay less than 100). Upon investigation, I found that I has the so called 'Group Service' added to my line without me asking for it. The service is 150 EGP/month.
I placed a complaint on Sep 18th, and I was also told that the problem will be solved by the next bill and that I'll get my money back.
At the end of the month I got the line cut so I had to pay.
The next bill (1 Oct) I got the bill with 150 EGP as subscription for Group Service, I called customer service again again and the problem was not solved. After several calls, some customer service agents told me to just pay the amount of money related to my calls and the line won't be cut. I did so, but now at the end of October I got the line cut again. I called again and I was told that the problem will be solved in 24 hours. now I am waiting 24 hours, but I am pretty sure that nothing would happen (as what the case always is). Anyway, seems I have to call the NTRA and hopefully I get this solved

I received a sms from a number telling me my mobile number has been confirmed as a winner of March 2009 Orange Telecoms Gmail Mobile draw of GB532 450.00 and that I should send an email to [protected]@gmail.com to claim.
I did it and received a email from him asking information like my name etc.
He send me another email that I should send to Nationwide Bank and they would keep the money in a temporary bank for me.

Dont get your hopes up. Its al a scam.
My husband called the guy from Orange and the guy from the bank and guess what, its the same guy.
So dont fool yourself with something like this.

Orange bad service

I moved house as part of my uni course. I moved my internet over to my new address on the 1st of July and after many failed attempts by both BT and Orange to connect both a home phone line and my broad band finally on the 13/09/08 the internet was up and running. After chasing the issue down continuously over the past 5 days i was told that i would not be eligable for compensations as I had not chased up the issue continuously for over a week. This seems and odd policy that I was not made aware of and as a service provider surely I should only being paying when they for fill there title and provide me with a service. I was also made to phone numerous customer service numbers and premium rate technical helplines which gave me the wrong information on numerous occasions.

Orange deactivating the line without warning

Let me introduce my self first my name is Amr shama I'm on of mobinil customer since a long time now, I would like to inform you with the un acceptable & improper attitude from mobinil customer service toward me. Without tension I forget totally to pay my bill for August and without warning they deactivated the line for me, then I called C.S. to open the line and I will pay my bill on last Tuesday, and they activate it for me actually and after a while some girl from C.S. department call me and apologized for deactivating the line without informing me and that if there's any problem and if I'm still upset or not and I told her no problem and that I'm so busy to pay the bill, and I will promise to pay it on 5th of September but she said ' that's ok sir I'm not calling u for that I just want to make sure that your not up set from us" then yesterday they deactivated line once again and once a gain I called the c.s. to know what's wrong but some one " not professional' at all answered me in a rude way and told me that they will not reactivate it again and that's final.

Just let me ask you if Mobinil will not keep there words how I suppose to trust this network again. Any way sorry for the inconvenience and I guarantee that I will not bother you again cause I'm for sure will go for Etisalat.

I have gone to the Mobinil branch in Maadi three times in the last two weeks and every one of the three times I went there was an excuse not to serve and they have not been friendly at all. Despite every time I called 2000 and made an arrangement with them before going for the service I need. The last time I have gone is around 5pm on the 23rd of January 2009. Unfortunately, the service was unavailable this times excuse was that the network at the branch was knocked down. I am very sorry but I will cancel my line permanently and move to another provider.

Orange orange broadband customer service and service delivery

Orange Broadband falls over at least once a month. Every time we try to get it fixed, Orange tell us it is our router. Each time, it is the network. When we try to talk to customer service, they blame everyone else, tell us we must wait for a line test and refuse to escalate the problem. The service representatives refuse to let us speak to a supervisor. They also charge us for each call.
So far, they have never fixed a problem. With our last outage we were down for 2 days. We finally fixed the problem ourselves. We turned off the router for 45 minutes which reset the equipment at the telephone exchange.

I have never known such poor service:

* they do not fix problems
* will not escalate
* hang up on you if given half the chance
* have unreliable network connections

I had a problem with mobinil concerning the no. [protected] on Thursday 26th march 2009, 7pm and pls spare me the time to explain it in the following points:
1- My outgoing calls wew barred because I exceeded the credit limit 300 LE! and I was not and never informed although Mobinil claims sending warning SMS which unfortunatly I truely didnot receive.
2- I tried to ask them to activate the line for safety reasons as I was out and cannot reach my children promising to pay the bill -which was due 6/4/2009- immediatly, but they refused because it was the company's system.
3- I respected the company's system and paid the bill at 9pm in mobinil shehab who promised to activate the line within 15 minutes and of course they nothing happened.
4- I waited until 11pm until I managed to reach a mobinil mobile to contact 110 again ( because astonishing 110 is barred too and no means of communication is available with mobinil because the ground number 16110 cannot activate)! 110 replied that due to technical development or whatever "term " was occuring they cannot check whether I have paid the bill or not and so, they cannot activate the line.
5- They advised me to send the bill via the fax ! at 11:15pm and how and where can I reach one . I tried begging the customer service to help me and activate the line again for safety reasons and if I was not honest deactivate it, but obviously no one had the authority. Again I had to suffer alone for mobinil's problem.
6- In the morning I searched again... for a mobinl line to contact 110 and successfully managed to activate the line, asif it is my job to follow up with mobinil and it is not automatically solved by the system which has deactivated automatically before .
7- Today 28 March I discovered that my other number was also suffering from an outgiong calls barring, I contacted 110 and solvbed the problem AGAIN it was my job.
8- I tried to express my discontent of the service but no one ACCEPTED to receive my complaint through 110 claiming that no one is responsible and it was a system problem which they can do nothing about it.
9- My question is -I can totally understand that it is my word agaist them in the argument concerning the warning, and their refusal of help without paying although the bill was not due yet, but after 9pm and until the following day when they managed to check my payment of bill- WHY SHOULD I SUFFER AND FEEL HELPLESS ? and WHY CAN'T THEY ADMITT THEY WERE WRONG OR EVEN APOLOGISE? WHY DIDN'T THEY ACTIVATE THE LINE IF THEY HAD A PROBLEM TO CHECK ? WHY SHOULD I PAY ALONE FOR THEIR MISTAKES? ANY SHOULD THEY REFUSE TO RECEIVE MY COMPLAINT AND MAKE ME FELL HELPLESS? WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION?

I got a mail mentioned that I have selected for a high level job with too much salary from a company named Orange telecom in dakar Senegal. But I got necessary information from the Senegal Embassy in India at right time and escaped from being cheated. So I advice all to be not to be cheated.

I received a letter from Dr Salim Ali claiming to be recruitment agent for Orange Telecommunications Senegal. I was asked to carry out an online interview.I did this and wasted a lot of precious time. I was given a job offer and requested to pay visa fees through western union. I did not this. I discovered that the whole thing was a scam. I am very bitter about being abused and cheated.

the complaint is correct as i received the same email actually forwarded to me by a friend in Saudi Arabia.. The terms of the job are too good to be true not to mention the high pay of the job.I think this is one of the scams similar to those propagated by leenob engineering in UK and others in Lagos Nigeria.

I provided your "customer service" all documentation and they say to call. I do and it always says "all operators busy. call back later."

you owe me $40 USD refunded immediately before it gets ugly!

they give me run around in email and i provided them all documentation. total scam.

my line [protected] has been suspended in spite of payment in advance 700 pounds in my account, claiming that the client who added this line enrolled it in sub account, this seems to be unethical behaviour from Orange's responsible clients who did so, i spent about an hour trying to solve this problem in Gomhoria Shop
