[netn00b]

whats the easiest way to find out if there are orange network problems ?

after several minutes on the phone to orange on a landline i get some bloody woman telling me they have no to speak to me and call later.




time to change provider me wonders...

If you Google 'orange network problems?', there's quite a lot of chat on other forums (some posted today), but I can't seen to find anything from Orange themselves.  Helpful, eh?

useless

Funny you should mention this today. I've been trying to contact my daughter who is attending the Reading Festival and can't get hold of her. I gave her an old Orange phone for the weekend and it was fine yesterday so I know there's a signal at her location.

Of course it may just be that she's got better things to do at a rock festival than speak to her father

I tried to call a friend on Orange earlier and after a while it went to voicemail as if the network was trying to locate the handset, they never switch their phone off and generally are fanatical about keeping it charged.

I've not heard back from them so it miust be down then.

Mine isn't, so it's not a universal problem. Orange users failover to T-Mobile if there's no signal, so I'd guess it's a verification issue.

Doesn't T-Mobile just fall over anyway?

The person I was trying to contact is using an iPhone 4 so she could just be holding it wrong.
