Orange PAYG big problems

Hi,
I bought the 8520 on Saturday and registered it and was told it would take a few hours for the BIS to be activated. SInce then I have had nothing but three useless telephone conversations with Orange trying to acertain what the problem is.
I constantly check my balance to see if the £5 has been deducted for the BIS but it has not. Every time I call I am told that there are some known issues with registering the BIS for customers. This is rubbish because my friend bought a BB with Orange the exact same day on Pay Monthly and his services are working fine. When i ask what the problem is, no one can tell me. I have asked to be put through to Data Support who could check all the settings but the three operators in india that I have spoken to refuse to refuse to put me through saying that it is a known issue and that it "should be resolved in a few hours".
I am able to access the internet through my WiFi but I can not set up my emails (the whole reason for buying a BB), and I can not access the internet away from my WiFi connection. I know it is only three days since i bought my phone but surely I should be up and running by now. Has anyone else had issues with Orange PAYG? I am surprised that there are not other posts considering it is supposed to be such a huge problem.
The future is bright, the future is 02!
Who knows where the time goes?

Hi mate.
I had exact problem. I bought my BlackBerry Bold 9000 on the Friday and got an Orange simcard (Dolphin) on pay as you go. I called up customer services to ask them to activate the £5 a month emil/web data plan and the guy told me it would happen within 24hours. On Saturday, it didn't happen. I alled again. And again on Sunday. On Monday , I called again and he told me had had cancelled all the applicatins and put a new onein and it would take 24 hours. Just checked my BlackBerry 30 mins ago and I got the text and my email and web is working. Absolutely riduclous service.
Do you have any texts from Orange? Delete them and reboot. Keep calling Orange every 24 hours and ask for a supervisor.  If all fails, send them an email through website. Worked for me It's not just me then, it's a lot of people. Orange sucks

  • Update: Credit issue for Orange PAYG customers

    Hi all,
    We've noticed that some of our Orange Pay As You Go customers have been experiencing a problem with recent top-up transactions that haven't appeared on their account.
    We can confirm the problem has occurred for a small proportion of our Orange PAYG customers who topped up their credit recently. Our engineers have been working urgently to get a fix in place.
    We apologise for the inconvenience. We are in the process of restoring all accounts to the correct balance now, including all rewards for topping up. If you're a PAYG customer and your recent top-up isn't appearing, please bear with us while we get this fixed.

    I don't like to post a straight "me too" response, but y'know... Can't agree more with previous posts. I would expect: something on the EE or Orange accounts page saying "there's an issue"something on my account (you know I'm Orange PAYG) to let me know there's an issuesomething to appear last SUNDAY not on Friday about the issuethe issue to be resolved sooner (it's 6 days and counting ... my credit still no showing) Yet what we DO have is this post hidden away in the Community forum. And STILL no indication about whether the fault has been fixed, and NO indication of when it will be fixed. I'd like a way of getting my credit out when it finally shows up (of course, that won't be an option). Imagine I was running a business from my mobile phone - a week without one would be a disaster.I've been on Orange PAYG for over 10 years, and the poor service appears to be since we've had  the 'improved' EE coverage. It's a competitive market, and I'll be off as soon as I can and make sure I never recommend EE / Orange / T-mobile to anyone.

  • Iphone 4 - big problem during calls -   caller cannot hear me

    Dear All,
    I have a very big problem with my brand new Iphone 4. I bought it in UK and I'm using it in Poland with Orange sim card. Randomly, during calls (signal strength is not an issue in this case) my caller cannot hear me at all. I still can hear any single word but they think that call is finished (dropped). I did the restore but problem remained. Is there anybody with the same problem?

    Hi Saint,
    It is possible that the creen is activating during the call and your ear is touching the mute button. There appears to be a problem with the iP4's proximity sensor not always actuating when the screen is close to the ear - this can result is so-called 'face dialling'. There is an enormous thread dealing with this exact problem elsewhere on these forums:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2475509&tstart=15
    Fwiw, I also suffer this problem.
    Having said all that, maybe you problem is something else. Hope it helps.

    Richard.

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • How to load an image without a gui? big problems...

    Hey guys, I usually try my best to not ask for help and figure stuff out myself. But this last week i've been having big problems with this work project.
    My goal is to load images from disk, and append them to each other to create one big image.
    The images are 0-9.jpg each file containing a number in it. then i create one big file with 4 numbers in it. called final.jpg.
    so far i can do all this, but whenever the program is finished, the application just keeps running. the program has literally gone through all the steps... i have a system.out.println printed on the last line after the main, after the class instantiation... and still it stays running.
    how do you guys load images without a gui? This program will probably be running under unix, so i can't create a (for component example)
    Panel() and media track the file load... so i'm pretty much stumped
    any help you guys can provide would be really incredibly helpfull at this point. I have searched these threads for a few hours without luck. I found only 1 real post related to my problem, but eventually they said use MediaTracker = new Mediatracker( new Panel() ); which i can't use. :(
    Thanks a lot guys.
    :D

    yeah tried doing that, didn't work either.
    UPDATE
    I FINALLY found a way...
    and here it is for others to find!
    public BufferedImage getImage(String filename) throws Exception {
    FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream( filename );
    JPEGImageDecoder decoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder( input );
    BufferedImage image = decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
    return image;
    it returns an image buffer, but it's better than nothing! :)
    atleast this functions under unix.

  • One Apple ID two phones big problem.

    Hi guys,
    Before 6 months I bought new Iphone 4s,but it was used one day from person who sell it to me, so it already has Apple id.
    I deleted user and created my user which was synced with iCloud and worked without any problem.
    Before 10 I bought Iphone 5, also created my Apple ID on it and sync with my PC/ iCloud.
    Yesterday I want to sell my first Iphone 4 and I did reset ( Erase all content and setting), but it did not want to wake up, so i started it with DFU mode using I tunes, and I did restore and update.
    Now I am facing to bit problem, on the begging steps it says something like "this apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone".
    If I go to iCloud I can see only one device and currently its new iPhone 5, but both devices called with same name, so I am not sure is this problem.
    So I have two doubts:
    - I am not sure does SIM card can make this problem(on initiation phase you have to put sim in Iphone), because main is much smaller now so I using my wife SIM to finis registration Iphone 4 (iPhone 5 using smaller than iPhone4)?
    - another thing It says you have to "use original apple id..", like I sad on the beginning when i bought Iphone4 it already has apple id on it, which I was deleted and configure main (afterwards this device was visible on my iCloud). So do I need to put first creaded apple id, does iPhone remembering first created or last used. If yes I have big problem because I dont have contact of user who sell it to me.
    I want to add one thing, Iphone is not stolen I have warranty documentations and all profs that is not stolen.
    PLEASE HELP, in my country we have awful support !

    Just left the Apple store with an official answer.  You can have two phones one Apple ID, turn off auto updates so you don't automatically get apps on both phones. Then you need two different iCloud accounts.

    What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
    If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
    How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

    i have big problem i make update to my software  iso 7.12 in my iphone 4  but when i recive calling  and i want to cancel and recall again i phone is stop no working and i must restart it to work what can i do

    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    Simple:
    File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
    After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.
    Regards
