At the time of purchase you will have selected either the Basic or Premium policy, this will be detailed on your certificate. These terms cover both policies, however the Basic policy does not cover loss of the phone and/or accessories. If you have purchased the Basic policy, any cover, conditions or exclusions referring to loss do not apply to you. An initial period of 21 days post purchase shall apply during which incidents shall not be entitled for claims. The 21 days shall be added to the end of your policy to ensure you enjoy a full year of benefit from this policy.

recycle your old phone
print We all know it's vital to recycle, but sometimes it's tricky to find the time and the right place to do it. That's where we come in. Every Orange shop across the UK will be more than happy to recycle your old mobile. We pass every phone on to Fonebak, experts in deciding the best use for unwanted phones. For more information on phone recycling, please visit www.fonebak.com
Thank you.

What are the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations?
The UK WEEE Regulations are laws that place an environmental responsibility on the producers of electrical and electronic equipment. These regulations aim to encourage separate collection and environmentally sound recycling, including re-use of waste electrical and electronic equipment, which includes mobile phones and accessories.

How does this affect me as a customer?
As the user of a mobile phone you have an important part to play in the recycling process. Without your help and support, we wouldn't be able to collect your unwanted mobile phone and recycle it.

The crossed out wheelie bin.
On all new electrical and electronic equipment, which includes mobile phones, the following crossed out wheelie bin symbol will be displayed to remind you not to throw the product into your bin at home.

Why should I recycle my unwanted mobile phone?
Recycling mobile phones reduces the pressure on the Earth's finite resources and prevents mobile phones from simply going to landfill. Like most electronic goods, mobile phones contain some materials which could escape and be harmful to the environment if not disposed of properly.

How do I recycle my unwanted mobile phone?
It's simple, just hand over your old mobile phone at your local Orange shop, and they'll send it for environmentally sound recycling.

Is there a cost to recycling my unwanted mobile phone?
No. It's completely free of charge.

What happens to my unwanted mobile phone?
Your unwanted mobile phone will be recycled by Fonebak. Fonebak carefully assesses each mobile phone to determine whether it will be re-used or processed for recycling of materials. Fonebak will re-use as many mobile phones as possible because 're-use' is the best environmental option. Any mobile phone not suitable for re-use will be sent for safe materials recycling (in accordance with ISO14001). So next time you're thinking about upgrading your mobile phone, just take it to an Orange shop and do your bit to save the environment.

Orange will provide all Services to you with reasonable skill and care and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
2.5 In order to prevent spam from entering and effecting the operation of our systems and Service, Orange may take any reasonable measure to block access to or delivery of any email which appears to be of an unsolicited nature and/or part of a bulk email transmission. We may also use within our systems virus screening technology which may result in the deletion or alteration of email and or email attachments, although we do not warrant that such technology will be effective against all virus attacks.

5. limitations on the services
5.1 You should note that various elements of the Services are not provided by us but instead by other companies. We are therefore unable to guarantee that such products and services or any websites accessible via the Services are virus or error free. You should check all emails, attachments or files before downloading them.
5.2 We take reasonable steps to safeguard the security of any information you input or send to us in connection with the Services by using secure servers and encryption technology, however, we accept no responsibility for any damage that you may suffer as a result of the loss of confidentiality of such information.
5.3 You acknowledge that licensed telephone operators provide the telephone networks which are utilised by us and therefore we cannot guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted or error free. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that the transmission of information over the Internet will be secure or that you will be able to access the Internet at all times or at the speeds that we have indicated are available.
5.4 As part of the Member Services we may provide you with email facilities, web hosting and other services that involve us providing storage space on our computers. In order to manage our computers and services we may restrict the amount of storage space provided. Limits may be by reference to the physical amount of web space made available to you, the number of email messages held, the size of any attachments sent or any other method we may specify. We reserve the right to vary these limits from time to time and we will keep you informed by email of any changes. We also reserve the right to refuse to accept material and/or to delete material, which exceeds the relevant limit. The current limit is as set out in Clauses 4.4.7 and 4.4.8 above.
5.5 Internet access is subject to our network traffic management controls. We reserve the right to disconnect you from the Internet after 2 hours continuous use and/or 20 minutes of inactivity during connection. As a consequence, our Any Time dial-up Internet access package may not be suitable for downloading files which require continuous connection in excess of these times.
5.6 We may provide you with software that enables you to use the Services. You must not copy or modify this software (unless allowed by law) or use it for any purpose other than to access the Services in accordance with these Terms of Use. If specified by us, you must only access the Services using this software or in an alternative way that we have authorised.
5.7 The Services and associated software are provided to you for your use only and you must not resell, transfer, assign or sub-licence them or any part of them to any other person.

6. suspension and termination of the services
6.1 If you do not follow the guidelines set out under Clause 4 then we may suspend or terminate the Services. We may also suspend or terminate the Services or any part of them if you fail or have failed to pay any charges for any other service that we or our affiliates may supply or you have used such services in breach of the applicable terms and conditions.
6.2 In the case of Pay As You Go, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Services without notice if you do not connect to the Internet using the Member Services at least once in each period of 90 days.
6.3 We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services or any part of them if we believe your use of the Services causes or is likely to cause the whole or part of the Services to be interrupted, damaged, rendered less efficient or in any way impaired.
6.4 You understand that as a flat rate Internet user, Any Time is not intended to be available on an "always on" basis and we may suspend your access if we think that you are using Any Time in a manner which, in our opinion, makes abnormal demands on the network from a single connection and/or amounts to unreasonably excessive use of Any Time.
6.5 We may need to temporarily suspend any or all of the Services without notice in order to repair, maintain or improve the Services or our network, or in an emergency. If we need to do this we will try to keep you informed and to keep interruptions to a minimum, although we cannot always guarantee to do so.

7. our rights and obligations

Terms of use for Orange Pay As You Go
print Notice: These terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use" or this "Agreement") set out the agreement between you and us under which we will provide you with access to the Internet using our Pay As You Go services and related services and applications, for example, email facilities and personal web space. It is, therefore, very much in your interests to read them carefully.

If there is anything in the Terms of Use that you do not understand then please contact our Customer Care Department as soon as possible by calling 0844 412 2202 (the "Customer Support Number"). Please note that calls to the Customer Support Number are charged at national rate and may be monitored for training, security and quality assurance purposes. If you do not understand any of the terminology used in the Terms of Use then please refer to our Internet glossary.

Access to the Internet and our related services and applications consist of two distinct service elements, a telephone access element and Orange Member Services. The Orange Member Services comprise various Internet-based services available to Members of Orange, for example email facilities including POP email (emails sent and received using software applications such as Microsoft's Outlook Express, where the client software resides on your computer) and Webmail Interface (your email account accessed using a web application from any computer connected to the Internet), personal web space, access to the World Wide Web and other services and applications (the "Member Services").

The telephone access element enables your equipment to be connected to and access the Member Services. The telephone access element is provided by the Pay As You Go service, a metered product with per minute call charges ("Pay As You Go").

In this Agreement the term "Services" will mean the Member Services together with whichever of the telephone access elements you use from time to time to obtain access to the Member Services.

Unless otherwise stated, the Services shall be provided to you by Orange Home UK Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 3014367) whose registered office is at St James Court, Great Park Road, Almondsbury Park, Bradley Stoke, Bristol BS32 4QJ.

References to "Orange" and to "we", "our" and "us" shall be taken to mean Orange Home UK.

1. Becoming an Orange Member
1.1 You can only become a Member of Orange (a "Member") and maintain your Member Services if:
1.1.1 You have a valid contract for analogue telephone services with a reputable telephone service provider; and
1.1.2 You have a computer with appropriate hardware, software and operating system specifications.

1.2 You can sign up for Pay As You Go using a signup CD-ROM or via our website. If you prefer, you can call the Customer Support Number and complete the initial registration steps by telephone.

1.4.3 providing registration details to any telecommunications provider who operates the telephone access network over which the Services are delivered;
1.4.4 providing or arranging for third parties to provide any part of the Services including but not limited to customer care facilities and billing, email and tools and services, which may involve disclosing information about you to third parties solely for this purpose and who may provide such services outside the European Economic Area (EEA) as described in Orange's Privacy and Cookie Policy;

More details of these services and charges are located at orange.co.uk

What is a broadband usage allowance?
A usage allowance is measured in Gigabytes (GB). Your monthly usage allowance lets you download things, such as receiving e-mails, looking at web sites and opening files people have sent you. It also allows you to upload things - for example sending e-mails and files, up to the GB allowance you choose. If you regularly go over your monthly allowance, we could suspend your service or reduce the speed at which your broadband works. Some of our packages will have a usage allowance, and some will have an unlimited usage allowance (which is subject to our Fair Use Policy). More information is available here: orange.co.uk/terms/7094.htm

Usage allowance for home phone and second line
The second line Service is subject at all times to a limit of 1,000 minutes on outgoing international calls, for each billing period. The second line service has a maximum call duration of two hours per call.
The Orange home phone service is subject at all times to a limit of 1,000 minutes on the outgoing inclusive evening (6pm to 6am Monday to Friday) & weekend (midnight Friday to midnight Sunday) for each billing period. These call types have a maximum call duration of two hours per call. After that, these calls will be charged at standard rates. If you go over any of the limits we've explained above, either for the broadband, home phone or second line service, then this will mean you've broken the Fair Use Policy. We might then keep a close eye on your usage, and if we feel it's necessary, we may not allow you to continue using that service. You can view our Fair Use Policy here: orange.co.uk/terms/7094.htm

How to Order
To order any of our services and find information on prices please visit orange.co.uk, or call us on 0844 873 8586 between 7am and 11pm, any day of the week, (calls will cost 5p a minute from a BT landline, Orange Home phone or your second land line if you have one. Charges from other networks may be different and calls might be recorded). You can also visit any Orange shop. For some of our packages, we'll need to run a credit check before we can give you the service. If you are an existing customer you can change your package on Member Centre. If you go on to our website and follow the instructions for an existing customer, it'll take you to the right place, or click here: orange.co.uk/membercentre

6. Minimum-term contracts for our products

For some of our products the contract runs for a minimum term, which you would have been told about when you joined us or if you changed your package with us. The details of your terms of use can be found here: orange.co.uk/terms/internet

7. contract start dates

We'll always aim to provide your internet access within a reasonable time of you applying for it. As there are a few different things we need to do to set you up with each different part of your package, the start date depends on which product you choose.

broadband
We'll carry out checks to make sure you can get broadband, and your start date will begin when the service or any part of it, is first made available to you. We will normally get you up and running within 10 working days.

second line
Once your Home Broadband and Livebox has been set up, please call us on 0800 975 0585 to activate your second line service. This is a freephone number, although call rates from mobile operators may vary

home phone
If you have chosen a home package which includes home phone it may take up to 20 working days from the day you order, for your telephone service to be transferred to Orange.
If you have chosen a package without line rental, please remember that you will need to continue to pay your existing provider for line rental.

dial-up Pay As You Go
You'll get access to the internet as soon as you download the correct settings.

8. our terms of use

You can view our Terms of Use here: orange.co.uk/terms/internet. Our terms of use describe the contract between you and us. The terms of use that apply to you depend on your package.
  • If there's anything you don't understand in the terms of use relating to our Dial-up Packages, or if you'd like a printed copy of the terms of use, phone customer support on 0844 412 2202 between 8am and 10pm, any day of the week.
  • If you have any questions about the terms of use for Home Broadband and our telephone services, then just call 0844 873 8586,(or 0844 871 0079 if you're on a Starter package) between 7am and 11pm, any day of the week.
(Calls to 0844 numbers cost 5p a minute from a BT land line, Orange Home Phone or your second line, if you have one. Calls from mobiles and some other networks may cost more. Calls may be recorded for quality checking purposes.)

9. Customer support

Making sure that you are satisfied with our services is very important to us. The following sections describe our approach to customers and the kind of support we offer to them.

If you'd like more details, contact the relevant customer support line for your package, we describe this in points 11 and 12 below.

Remember that calls to 0844 numbers cost 5p a minute from a BT land line, Orange Home Phone or your second line, if you have one. Calls from mobiles and some other networks may cost more. Calls may be recorded for quality checking purposes). Customer support lines are open every day from 8am to 10pm for dial up customers and from 7am to 11pm for broadband customers.

10. How to cancel your account and our refund policy

We hope that you won't want to leave us. But if you do, then simply follow the steps below to cancel. Please also see section 15. If your payments are not up to date, we'll suspend your account but we won't cancel it, and you will still have to pay any outstanding charges.

Call our broadband support team on 0844 873 8586, (or 0844 871 0079 if you're on a Starter package). You can cancel at any time before your start date, but after that you are tied in to the contract for the minimum term.

The start date for your package is the date that your broadband service is activated (which we will have confirmed by e-mail) or when you first start to use the home broadband service, whichever is first.

If you want to end your contract during your minimum term, you will have to pay all the charges due for the rest of the period. This does not affect your legal rights.

We also offer a cooling-off period that is 7 days from the date of registration or the time it takes for the broadband service to be activated (whichever comes first).

Leaving our Home package to go to another service provider

If, during the minimum term of the contract, you want to leave and go to another broadband provider, you will have to pay the charges for the remaining period of the contract. To move you need to phone us on the number above. If you don't, and you're no longer in your minimum term, your account will still be open and we will continue to charge you for the service.

If you are on our Home Phone packages, before leaving us you need to ensure you are aware you will lose your inclusive call minutes. Once this is closed, your calls will be charged by your line rental provider, at their rates.

If you're on our Home Phone package which includes line rental, before leaving us you need to ensure you have also arranged for your telephone service to be switched to a new provider, including your line rental.

broadband
To go to another service provider you need a migration authorisation code (MAC).
Receiving a MAC code doesn't immediately cancel your account. Our broadband service will continue until your new provider is ready to start your new service. The time it takes for this to happen depends on your new provider. When this happens, your account with us will end.

You may also want to cancel your direct debit with the bank. However, please make sure you let us know at the same time.

second line
You can end your second line phone service at any time. To cancel this service, call customer support on 0844 8738586. When you end the contract you need to return the Livebox to us, along with any other equipment we loaned to you. If you don't return the equipment in good working order within 30 days, we can charge you for them.

dial-up Any Time
(only for existing customers - package no longer available for new customers to join)

You can close your Dial-Up Any Time account at any time. Simply call customer support on 0844 412 2202. Remember that you pay for the service in advance, so it may be worth waiting until just before your next payment is due before calling to close your account. Also see sections 6 and 14 of this Code.

You may also want to cancel your direct debit with the bank. However, please make sure you let us know at the same time.

dial-up Pay As You Go
There is no need to call us, you can just stop using your account.
You will not be able to use your e-mail after you have not used the account for 219 days. If you cancel and then change your mind within 259 days, you can always come back to us by opening your account up again online or with a CD.

When you end your account, we may delete all the information we are storing for you. This also means that we may delete all the e-mails in your e-mail account.

11. How to change your address or personal details

This depends on what package you have. We want to help you sort things out as smoothly as possible, so please follow the steps below for your particular package.

broadband, home phone
You need to call customer support on 0844 873 8586 (or 0844 871 0079 if you're on a Starter package). If you're changing your phone number or are moving house, remember to have your new number handy so we can check you are moving to an area that has broadband available. If you are on a package that includes line rental, your phone line will be transferred first in the event that you move house. Your home broadband will be set up after your phone line is in place. This may take up to 25 working days.

If the area you are moving to does not have broadband, or your new home does not have a pre-existing BT phone line, we will not be able to provide you with a broadband service any longer.

If we have to cancel the account because your new house doesn't support broadband, you will need to pay any amounts that would have been due for the remaining part of the contract.

second line
This will be done when you update your home broadband details.

dial-up packages
You need to call customer support on 0844 412 2202 with your new details and we'll update your account details on the same day. If you are changing your phone number, remember to have your new number handy.

We can only talk about account details with the person who signed up for the account unless we have the account holder's permission for someone else to call. It is much easier if the account holder calls in about any account issues.

16. Protecting your personal information

We take your privacy seriously. If you would like more information on how we use your information, see our privacy policy.

We keep to the Data Protection Act and other relevant data-protection laws.

The Data Protection Act
The Data Protection Act 1998 gives people a number of rights over how their personal information is processed. One of these rights entitles you to get almost any organisation to:
  • tell you whether they are processing your personal information
  • tell you why they are processing your personal information
  • tell you who will receive or process the personal information they hold on you
  • give you a copy of any personal information we hold, in a way you can understand
  • respond to your request within 40 days
Asking us about information we hold
To deal with your request, we can ask for certain things from you. If you decide you want to ask us about the information we hold about you, we will send you an application form to fill in, along with a letter explaining how to make the request. The application form will ask you to:

  • provide details about your account
  • provide details about you (for example, your date of birth and contact details)
  • tell us what information you want to see or ask about
  • give us any information that will allow us to identify the information you want
  • provide proof of your identity
  • send a cheque for £10 to cover our administration costs
We often find that people want access to their information under the Data Protection Act to help them with matters not connected with our service. To help us identify what information you want, it's helpful if you can give us any background information relevant to your request. But you don't have to.

If you would like an application form or more information on how to ask for information, please fill in the form on our website.

We will need your contact details to respond to your enquiry. However, we will not use this information for any other purposes.

Your enquiry will be processed by one of our authorised agents.

We also keep to the British Code of Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing, which you can see on our website.

If you want to know what personal information we hold about you please request a Subject Access Request from here: orange.co.uk/communicate/13409.htm

17. Communicating with you

Some of the information we send you is to help you get more out of your service. Here's an idea of the kind of things you'll get.
  • Special announcements - we will give you details of any relevant special offers that might apply to you
  • Service announcements - we will communicate with you to let you know about any changes in our policies, this code of practice or any relevant terms of use.
  • Marketing communications - we keep to direct marketing best practices so will only send you marketing information you agreed to when you registered with us. If you agreed to receive marketing information but have registered with either the mailing or phone preference services you will be removed from any communication and special offers we send.
If you would like to change your choice of information you receive by e-mail, contact the address provided in each message or phone us on 0844 873 8586.

(calls to 0844 numbers cost 5 pence a minute from a BT land line, Orange Home Phone or your second phone line (if you have one).Calls from mobiles and some other networks may cost more. Calls may be recorded for quality checking purposes)

20. Protecting customers

We aim to provide a service that is safe for all our customers.

To report anyone abusing our services in any way, click here: orange.co.uk/communicate/safety/abuse.

The internet gives people access to a lot of adult material, which will concern many parents. We have published some guidelines on how parents can help protect their children. To read our advice on protecting children on the internet, click here: help.orange.co.uk/sessionBegin.do?solutionId=kb4345

Orange offers a wide range of technical safeguards to its Internet and mobile customers and has a dedicated safety team to ensure any concerns are addressed. These safeguards include:
  • A free privacy service with parental controls to protect minors from harmful or inappropriate material. The parental controls function lets parents or carers choose what children can do and see online and offers a facility to manually block or allow websites which gives you greater control over the standard service.
  • Free anti-virus and spam filters are available on our email service
  • We offer users of our Internet search service a 'safe search' function to control results
  • Orange operates a 'notice and take down' procedure for reported inappropriate content on our web portal and provides clear links from various services to enable users to report abuse of any sort.
  • Orange uses the IWF list of illegal child abuse websites to prevent inadvertent access to such images on both our fixed and mobile platforms.
Orange offers also great security packages: you can find more information here orange.co.uk/membercentre/security

You can find more information about how Orange deals with Security here: orange.co.uk/safety

21. How to get help if you are being "spammed"

Our e-mail service scans all your incoming e-mails for potential spam and viruses. However, we do also suggest that you have an anti-spam or virus software package installed. Orange offers great security packages. You can find more information here: orange.co.uk/membercentre/security

We can take action against other Orange customers who have been sending spam. To allow us to investigate a complaint of spam, please read our instructions on reporting abusive e-mails. Otherwise, you can contact the internet service provider of the person sending you the spam.

22. Access to premium-rate websites and "rogue diallers"

The charge you pay us for access to the internet does not include charges to premium-rate services on the internet. Any call charges run up by you visiting premium-rate websites will be added to your phone bill and will not appear in your Dial-up Any Time or Home Broadband statements. We are not responsible for charges arising from using premium-rate services though the internet, and you are responsible for making sure you have the right connection settings. You should take the measures we've explained in this document to protect you against unexpected charges.

Some companies ask you to download diallers in order to get to premium-rate or restricted content, such as sports highlights, music downloads or adult content. After you have downloaded and run the dialler, it will disconnect your dial-up connection and connect your computer to a premium-rate number.

Sometimes, diallers can connect your computer to the internet without you knowing. In some cases, you may not know that the number you are connecting on has changed. These are generally called 'rogue diallers'.

Rogue diallers can affect you if you accept a download or installation, or can be delivered by a virus. You should always be suspicious of new download or installation requests if they are not expected (for example, if you are just browsing web pages when a request to download appears). In most cases the rogue dialler will connect you to the internet on premium- or international-rate numbers with very high call charges.

If you think you have fallen victim to a rogue dialler which has lead to you running up high call charges, PhonepayPlus (phonepayplus.org.uk) offers information and advice on its website.

The PhonepayPlus site also features a search facility which will help to trace the premium-rate phone number you have dialled. PhonepayPlus also gives more details on how to make a complaint.

For more information you can also visit our help article on protecting your PC against rogue diallers: help.orange.co.uk/sessionBegin.do?solutionId=kb145

23. What to do if you are receiving nuisance calls

Malicious calls can be offensive, threatening, or just very annoying. They may also be a criminal offence under the Communications Act 2003 (Misuse of telecommunications).

If you are getting nuisance calls, call our customer support line on 0844 873 8586 for advice.

(calls to 0844 numbers cost 5 pence a minute from a BT land line, Orange Home Phone or your second phone line (if you have one).Calls from mobiles and some other networks may cost more. Calls may be recorded for quality checking purposes)

24. Number Translation Services (NTS) and Premium rate services (PRS)

Number Translation Services (NTS) - 08 numbers

Number translation services are types of non-geographic numbers where the number dialled does not relate to a specific geographic location, but instead relates to a particular service or organisation. This allows the organisations using these numbers to change physical location without having to change their telephone number and to have a national presence.

Some NTS numbers also enable organisations to share the revenues generated by the telephone calls made to the numbers. These are shared between the organisation offering the service (the Service Provider - or SP), the Originating Communications Provider (OCP) from whose network the call is originally made, and the communications provider who manages (terminates) the calls to the Service Provider (the Terminating CP - or TCP).

The majority of the money is shared between the TCP and the SP. The OCP who collects the money from the customer on behalf of themselves, the TCP and SP via the customer's telephone bill, receives only a small proportion of the overall revenues generated.

Tariffs for accessing NTS numbers are shown in our tariff guides - available on our website or calling customer support on 0844 873 8586.

Premium Rate Services (PRS)

What are Premium Rate Services?
Premium rate services offer some form of information service or entertainment that is charged to your phone biller deducted from your pre-paid credit. They include TV vote lines, competitions, mobile ringtones and logos, as well as text or voice information and

entertainment services and directory enquiry services. They cover voice and text, as well as photo, video and mobile internet services.

How are Premium Rate Services charged?
If you're calling a voice service on a number beginning 09, the charge will appear on your bill or be deducted from your pre-paid credit in the same way as another type of call. The amount that you are charged will vary according to the number which you are calling, although it will be higher than calling a "geographic number" beginning 01, 02 or 03.

As the charges differ from those for calling geographic numbers, calls to PRS numbers will be excluded from any inclusive bundles of minutes. Calls are charged at up to £1.70 per minute or per call depending on the kind of service that you are calling. Some calls may be subject to a minimum charge.

The revenue-sharing arrangements that apply to NTS numbers, described above, also apply to charges for calls to premium rate services.

PHONEPAYPLUS is the industry-funded regulatory body for all premium rate services. Its remit covers three areas:-
  • numbers beginning with 09
  • directory enquiry services on numbers beginning 118
  • reverse billed short codes, where you are charged for receiving the content/messages, which will be 4 or 5 digits, beginning with either 8, 6 or 2
PHONEPAYPLUS regulates premium rate services in their entirety - their content, promotion and overall operation. Its role is to prevent consumer harm. Amongst other things, it requires: clear and accurate pricing information; honest advertising and service content; appropriate and targeted promotions.

PHONEPAYPLUS' powers come from its Code of Practice which must be complied with by any service provider that is providing a premium rate service. As explained above, where those services are provided via SMS, Orange will have a commercial relationship with that service provider. That means, if the service provider is not complying with the Code of Practice, PHONEPAYPLUS can direct Orange to suspend the service or not to transfer/share the revenue generated to the service provider. There are various ways in which you may choose to limit your access to premium rate services.

Barring
As explained above, Orange groups 09 numbers into five separate pricing bands. By default, all customers (except business customers) will be able to call numbers only in bands 1-3. However, you may choose to bar your access or obtain access to all of those bands, which you can do simply by calling customer services.

Unsubscribing
Rather than being one-off transactions i.e requesting and paying for a single ringtone or logo, some premium rate services operating on SMS shortcodes are subscription services. This means that you agree to be charged on an ongoing basis e.g. for regular horoscopes or football scores until you decide to unsubscribe. Unsubscribing should be achieved by texting STOP to the shortcode which is sending you the messages, but if you experience any difficulties you should call Orange customer services who will be able to give you the contact details of the service provider sending you the messages, so you can get in touch with them directly.

Contact Orange
If you have any general query or complaint about voice or text premium rate services, you should firstly contact Orange customer services. If you believe that you have been charged for a service which you have not requested or to which you have not subscribed, they will be able to provide information on obtaining a refund. If you are experiencing problems with a particular shortcode, they will be able to give you details of the service provider operating the service, how to contact them and how to stop the service, usually by texting STOP to the shortcode.

(Alternatively, you can visit PhonePayPlus.org.uk/consumers to check the number yourself to get the same information. The PHONEPAYPLUS website will also enable you to get information about 11 digit numbers beginning 09, which is not available from Orange customer services.)

If you are unhappy with the response which you have received from Orange customer services, you may request that your complaint be escalated. Ultimately (after you have completed Orange's internal complaints procedure), you may be able to refer your complaint to Orange's external dispute resolution scheme known as CISAS (see Section above for details).

However, if your complaint relates to premium rate services, it may well be more appropriate for you to contact the service provider or PHONEPAYPLUS (see below) as the next step.

Contact the service provider
Orange is not responsible for the actions of independent service providers, so you need to contact them directly

if you want further information about the service being provided, if you are unable to stop the service or have any

further complaint. All service providers should have customer service facilities

Contact PHONEPAYPLUS
If you do not get a satisfactory response from the service provider, you may wish to make a formal complaint to PHONEPAYPLUS. It investigates complaints and has the power to fine companies and bar access to services if its Code of Practice is breached. It can also bar the individual(s) behind a company from running any other premium rate services under any company name on any telephone network for a defined period. Lesser problems can be dealt with by issuing formal reprimands or ordering companies to come to PHONEPAYPLUS for prior approval.

PHONEPAYPLUS' service is free to consumers and fully independent. Its contact details are:

PHONEPAYPLUS
FREEPOST WC5468
London SE1 2BR
Telephone 0800 500 212 between the hours of 8.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday
PhonePayPlus.org.uk

But before making a formal complaint, you should first check that your complaint falls within one of the three areas of its remit and that it is not already investigating the service/promotion about which you wish to complain.

You should also compile all of the necessary information. More detailed information about how to do all of this and how to submit your complaint (together with access to the online complaint form) is available on the consumer section of the PHONEPAYPLUS website under 'How to Complain'. For queries solely in relation to Orange's compliance with this code, contact Simon Grossman.

25. What to do if you want to complain

We want to give all our customers an excellent service. But sometimes we might get it wrong. When we do, we want to know how we can fix it.

We've developed the complaints procedure below, which gives you three ways to contact us if you have a problem with our services.

If you want to talk to us about the problem you can phone us and we will try to sort your complaint out while you are on the phone. If this is not possible, the adviser will agree a course of action with you.
  • For Dial-up Packages you can call us on 0844 412 2202
  • For Home Broadband and second line you can call us on 0844 873 8586 (or 0844 871 0079 if you're on a Starter package.)
(calls to 0844 numbers cost 5 pence a minute from a BT land line, Orange Home Phone or your second phone line (if you have one). Calls from mobiles and some other networks may cost more. Calls may be recorded for quality checking purposes). Customer support lines are open every day from 8am to 10pm for dial up customers and from 7am to 11pm for broadband customers
  • If you would like to e-mail us, simply go to our help channel and follow the instructions. We aim to reply to all emails within 48 hours. However, remember that email is not a secure way to exchange personal or sensitive information.
  • If you prefer to send a letter, then you can send your complaint to:
Orange Customer Care
PO Box 486
Rotherham
S63 5ZX

26. How we will deal with your complaint

This will depend on how you make your complaint. However, when you contact us we will need to ask for:

* your e-mail address
* the phone number you use for connecting to the internet
* your date of birth
* your full postal address
* your password

If you can have this information to hand or include it in your original complaint, it will speed things up.

Once we receive your complaint we will record it. If you write to us we will give you a reference number, which we will let you know and will ask you to quote whenever you contact us about the complaint.

We do try to settle all complaints immediately, but sometimes we may have to investigate the matter before we can get back to you. We aim to reply to complaints made by e-mail within 48 hours, and complaints made in writing within 5 working days of us receiving the letter.

If you're not satisfied with the way we deal with your complaint, you should ask for it to be considered again by someone with more authority. You can do this immediately if you are on the phone or we will arrange for someone to contact you. If you have asked for this by e-mail or letter, you will receive a response within 48 hours for e-mails and for complaints in writing, within 5 working days of us receiving the letter.

If you are still not satisfied, ask for it to be considered again. If you still do not agree with what we have said or done, our Complaint Review Service will look into the matter. We'll then give you details of where to send your complaint. See also Section 27 Useful addresses.

After asking us to refer your complaint to someone with more independence, you may also find it useful to speak to the Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) whose contact details are in section 27 below. However please note that this does not affect your rights (as set out in section 26 below) to refer your complaint to an alternative dispute resolution service.

27. What to do if you are still not happy with us

If we reach a deadlock situation with your complaint, we will confirm that there is nothing more we can do and give you a reference number. You can then refer the dispute to the Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme (CISAS).

Or, if we have not given you a satisfactory response to your complaint after 3 months, you can refer the complaint to CISAS.
CISAS is an independent scheme, run by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, that deals with disputes.

When your dispute goes through the scheme, a person called an independent adjudicator decides how to settle it. Once the dispute has been referred to CISAS, any offers we have previously made to solve the problem will be withdrawn.

To get more details on how to refer a dispute to CISAS please contact them:

The purpose of the Home Phone Sales and Marketing Code of Practice for fixed line telephony

This Code provides a clear summary of the sales and marketing policies for our fixed-line telephony products. It will also provide you with contact points should you wish to learn more about us or raise issues with us or organisations with whom we are associated.

This Code does not affect your rights as a consumer and is not contractually binding on you or Orange. A copy of this Code is available to customers at www.orange.co.uk/terms/5594.htm. If you would like to obtain printed copies of this Code, or a copy in large print, please let us know at the address below.

Contact details

You can find out more about our service at www.orange.co.uk.

If you wish to speak to one of our Sales or Customer Care representatives, you can reach them all day, every day (except public holidays) by calling 0844 873 8586 . Calls are charged at up to 5p a minute from a BT line and may be monitored for training purposes.

Sales, marketing, advertising and promotion

We approach customers in many ways - by TV, radio or press advertising, promotions in shops or shopping centres, post, fax, electronic mail, telephone or in person. In all cases, Orange employees and representatives must act responsibly and comply with this Code, any other relevant codes of practice (including advertising codes such as the British Code of Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing), laws and regulations.

We aim to ensure that our advertising and promotional literature is clear, unambiguous, accurate and fair, containing no false or misleading information about price, value or service. We will not denigrate other service providers.

We will respect your wishes where you have registered with any relevant preference service, including the Mailing Preference Service, the Telephone Preference Service, the Fax Preference Service and the E-mail Preference Service.

Recruitment and sales training

We have strict procedures for the recruitment and selection of all staff (or any sub-contractors) who have direct contact with customers. This includes identity and security checks. All applicants must provide proof of National Insurance number, proof of address and two references. Referees must not be related to the applicant. Business referees must not both be from the same company. If a sales person leaves Orange for any reason a copy of his or her sales records (including all recordings and notes on sales) will be retained for a minimum period of six months. We will try to retrieve the identification badges of staff leaving Orange.
When we recruit sales staff we consider the applicant's behaviour and appearance, recognising that sales persons may be seen as the "public face" of the industry. We will also take into account evidence of mis-selling or lack of integrity in any previous selling employment.

We endeavour to have adequately trained sales staff able to give accurate and clear information about our fixed-line telephony services to potential customers. Our staff are aware of the industry practices in the UK that allow customers to change provider and the conditions which apply.

Our staff understand the various packages and services offered as part of Orange and how they compare to competing products. They will be able to explain the ordering process, our prices, the terms and conditions which apply and the process for cancelling a contract during the cooling-off period or at any time following commencement of the service.

Our remuneration system for sales staff is documented and does not encourage misleading or exploitative sales practices.

We ensure that all our sub-contractors and agents have equivalent selection and training procedures in place.

Customer contact

Our sales staff do not make face-to-face contact outside the hours of 8am - 8pm and do not telephone outside the hours of 8am - 9pm, unless you ask them to.

All of our staff who are involved in face-to-face sales and marketing are issued with identity badges that display the name Orange and an employee number. These identity badges also state the name and display a photograph of the staff member as well as an expiry date for validity of the card. Our staff will identify themselves and confirm that they are representatives of Orange. They will also state the purpose of their visit and the expected duration of either the call or the sale. We expect our salespeople to be courteous and offer clear and straightforward information and explanations at all times.

Our staff will not continue contact with any person who indicates that the contact is inconvenient, unwelcome, inappropriate or too long. If a customer requests it, the discussion will be ended immediately or, if making a doorstep call, our representative will leave the premises immediately. We will not abuse the trust of vulnerable customers, for example those who are elderly or whose first language in not English. Where there is sheltered housing, nursing homes or residential care facilities contact will be made with the warden or other person in authority before any approach is made to residents. We will not intentionally target sales or marketing activity to those who are under the legal age for entering into contracts.

We will keep suitable records of its sales and marketing activity for a period of six months. These records will contain sufficient information to enable us to identify the salesperson involved and to assist in the dealing with any query or complaint.

Entering into a contract - information, order forms and contracts

We will check that the person signing our contract for fixed line telephony services through our internet package is responsible or authorised to order those services for their home.

Customers will be given the following information in writing or during the sales call in a clear comprehensible prominent and accurate manner:
  • our company name, address and contact details
  • a description of the service chosen and how it works, including the cost of any standing charges
  • details of the payment terms
  • the process for provision of the service
  • details of the right of cancellation and the process for exercising it
  • the period for which the charges remain valid
  • the minimum period of contract and minimum contract charges, if any
Where you have signed an order form following face to face contact or have entered into a written contract you will be given a copy of the contract and details of arrangements for the termination of the contract, either at the time you enter into the contract or within 5 working days, unless this has been previously supplied in writing prior to contract.

Customers signing-up for our services by other methods will receive information confirming the Orange Home Phone package that they have agreed to take in addition to information about cancelling the order or terminating the contract. Where relevant, sales conducted in this way will comply with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

For internet orders, links to the terms and conditions of the agreement and the information referred to above will be clearly displayed and the information will be available to be easily downloaded and printed.

You can cancel orders by telephone, in writing by post, fax or e-mail. Where you cancel an order within the relevant cancellation period, you will not be charged for cancellation.

We will send to all customers a letter setting out details of the transfer and the following information:
  • date of notification
  • CLI(s) affected
  • list of services affected/unaffected, e.g. IA call barring
  • date of switchover
  • the sender's contacts details for any queries
This may be sent electronically if you have applied online and have confirmed online that you wish all future correspondence to be sent electronically or have asked by written correspondence that all information be sent electronically.

If you feel that you did not understand or did not intend to enter into a contract, we will terminate that contract without charge or other penalty.

We will contact all Customers to confirm that they understand that they have entered into an agreement, are happy to proceed with the agreement and are content with the way in which the sales and marketing activity was conducted.

We keep under review the procedures by which contracts are agreed and take appropriate steps to prevent recurrence of any problem identified.

Making a complaint

Any complaints in relation to our sales and marketing activity follow our normal complaints procedures. All our customer facing staff and representatives are aware of these procedures. These procedures can be found in our main Code of Practice. This can be found at www.orange.co.uk/terms/5594.htm

Consumer protection and other legal requirements

Orange's procedures have been drafted in accordance with guidelines produced by Ofcom on 13 April 2005 and to comply with all applicable legislation and any relevant amendments to such legislation.

Responsibility for compliance with this code of practice

We carry out regular audits of its systems, procedures and documentation to ensure that we act in compliance with all aspects of the Code. We are committed to ensuring all of our representatives comply with this Code of Practice. Our Sales and Marketing Director has responsibility for monitoring compliance with this Code.

If you feel that any Orange representative has breached this code in anyway please contact the Sales and Marketing Director at Orange Home UK Limited, St James Court, Great Park Road, Almondsbury Park, Bradley Stoke, Bristol, BS32 4QJ.
