Bitterwallet has been on something of a crusade over the last couple of weeks concerned with the inconsistencies and misinformation surrounding changes to their call charges and cancelling your mobile phone contract with Orange.
Over a series of posts and with help from their readers, they found out some rather interesting information which provided a useful reference for those wishing to worm their way out of their Orange contracts.
Eventually, they actually managed force Orange into a u-turn over some of their new call charges (which was actually the trigger for you being able to cancel your contract).
Details of the u-turn are here, along with an official statement from Orange, and here are some of the posts in the run-up to the u-turn:
- Cancelling your Orange contract – what does the law say?
- Cancel your Orange contract – official statement from Ofcom
- Cancel your Orange contract – no answers, plenty of questions
- Orange – the latest gravy in the battle for contract cancellations
- Cancelling your Orange contract – a troubleshooting guide
Bitterwallet have now turned their sights onto Virgin Mobile. Watch out Branson!

Another rare UK finance blog! We’re like rare birds (or lizards, or sea slugs, but birds sounds better, right? :) )
I tried to cancel my Orange contract back in June this year (I wasn’t attempting to cancel early or anything – just a plain old 30 day notice job). It is now nearly Christmas and umpteen phone calls, emails and a letter later and I am still waiting for them to refund money they continued to take from my Bank account 3 months after the contract was terminated. I just could not believe that a company as large as Orange could get away with how they have treated me – but reading this page shows me that it isn’t a one off! Shame on you Orange!
