I have had Orange pay monthly and “pay as you go” phones for many years, but not for much longer.
I was awaken at 4.36am this morning by an incoming text message from Orange to my “pay as you go” phone notifying me of improvements to the phone, which would be implemented by turning it off and then back on.
I was of course less than overjoyed at being woken half way through the night, not for an emergency, as one would expect when receiving a call in the early hours, but by an unsolicited piece of self-serving information by a mobile phone company. The phone lit up and there was an audible warning of an incoming message.
