Orange - cheeky b@stards

[237SJ]

Since before Christmas I have had an unknown mobile number phoning my mobile every day but not leaving a message. It`s just called again so I answered it. It was someone from Orange (my provider). He started by asking me how my christmas was which I don`t really think is any of his business. Then he asked me to confirm my house number. I told him I wasn`t giving out personal information to a cold caller. He told me he wasn`t a cold caller and he knew my house number anyway. He got shirty when I told him I was quite happy with my pay as you go and don`t want to buy anything and he promptly put the phone down on me. I think Orange use the same charm and efficiency school as Santander. Anyone else had them cold callng? The number ends with 530, by the way.

You do sometimes wonder how they get past the interview stage.

I don't think it was Orange.
It was an agent for another scam or crap provider.

Knowing them, they`ll probably put me down as not having received whatever it was they wanted to say and will call again. I don`t like it when companies launch straight into jovial questions about christmas or how I am today before they`ve even said who they are. It`s a bit like answering the door to the Jehovah Witnesses.

I had a call from Orange, asking if I wanted to switch my landline from BT to Orange. I told them no. A few days later I received a letter from BT saying they were sorry I was leaving them. BT say it is common for Orange to do this. I've complained to Orange and demanded they provide evidence that I asked for this switch, but strangely they can't find the recorded phone call.
