Orange customer service

Missing from your list that I liked was Orange Assistant (or was it Orange Messenger, can't remember!) where an agent took a message for you and sent it as a text. 24 hour customer service was useful too.

Weren't Orange also the first to introduce - and then remove! - per second billing?

Line 2 is available again - Called Personal Line - missed it for years, but have recently had it added on a BlackBerry :-) FOC charge too if you only want it for inbound calls.

I'm pretty sure they're trying to get EveryPhone off the ground again as well, despite saying for years it was no longer a supported service.

Out of interest - can you use BlackBerry's on Giff-Gaff?

You can, but Giffgaff doesn't have Push

Yes went at the beginning of 2004

Yep and didn't bill for the first 5 (or was it 3) seconds, so you could quickly hang up if you'd called a wrong number without penalty

Isn't that only for business users?

Orange ended it cos Callthrough Co's used it's free to 0870 divert, to divert their calls

I'm surprised no one took up a version of Wildfire artificial intelligence voicemail I guess Orange held onto the rights?

You."Wildfire what sound does a cow make"? Wildfire. "Moo" ;-)

Maybe it was a Concorde moment? ;-(

3 seconds, as I recall. So if you had a prearranged set of codewords, routine calls could be free.

With the free voicemail on Orange OVP Virgin you could have a conversation by sending voicemail messages back and forth between two of them

Virgin Mobile for their first year had it too, then they realised it could lose them revenue and removed the ability.
