I recently ported my mobile number (which I have had for 10 years)
over to Orange. I then discovered that I was getting no service
at my office, so I decided to cancel my contract under the 14
days return policy. However when I contacted orange they told
me I could cancel my contract but they would not return my ported
number.
I was told I would have to continue the 12 months contract if
I wanted my number back. I have had to cancel, (under duress)
as I didn't want to pay 12 months line rental to have my number
back (nor should I have to!!).
Surely they should not be allowed to do this, when I first contacted
orange I was not given this information nor can it be found in
any advertising or other literature they provide.
I would like something done about this, even if you cannot have
my number returned to me I hope you will be able to prevent them
from doing this to anyone else, I was cut off twice whilst being
put on hold, then basically told "we aren't willing to do
anything to help"!!.

I have sent an email to Stuart Jackson of Orange for his comments
and clarification on this matter. I will keep you posted of any
response from Orange.
