N95 - which networks

20 replies · 7,650 views · Started 27 February 2007

Hi

I currently own a N80 on orange
I've been with orange for 10 years and i'm happy with the service
However, they aren't doing the N95 due to all the problems with the N series.

I was going to get the SPV m700, but it doesn't have a flash which is a bit annoying so i was looking at the N95

so it looks like i'll have to move network, my contract is up on march 1st so I need to know what networks are having the N95 first

Also I need good coverage in south wales, my mate is on T mobile and says coverage is poor.

I'm on a good contract too, 750 anytime cross network mins and 150 texts for �35 a month

I also want some sort of unlimited data bundle too, (pref free)
Am i best going to the high street shops or should I approach networks directly via call centres

First up, i need to know what networks are getting the phone and when
Vodaphone is apparently getting end of march beginning of april and i think they have good coverage in wales?

Cheers

You can stay on Orange, if you like, but buy a retail N95 and use your Orange SIM card in it.

Don't know what the retail versions will cost in your country, or when exactly they'll be available, but it'll happen before operator versions are in any case.

Should be out on Orange so don't worry still in testing till end of April. Vodaphone release it on the 10th of April. £35 = 500 mins and 1000 text. - or 500 mins, 500 text and stop the clock. - or 500 mins, 500 text + 6 month sky tv

Thanks Steve

However much i want to believe you about it being on orange, everywhere i've looked says it didn't even enter testing due to the mass of probs with the N series
I've even spoken to some of the technical guys from orange and they have said it didn't even make review

can I ask where you got this info?

You're right about Orange and the N series and the same worries apply to the N95. I've spoken to various people in Orange shops all saying the same thing its in the new Orange product mag thats just come out, an Orange rep told me, if its in there, trust me we will be stocking it. Lets put it this way the N95 is set to be the biggest thing in the mobile phone world this year if they don't stock it Orange will lose a lot of customers its good business sense to stock it. I'm not waiting I'm going to Vodaphone better package tbh.

Thanks Steve

My contract is up the end of the month, and dont really want to hang around

Orange have offered me 2500 cross network anytime mins and 1000 texts for �30 a month (through retention)
However, i only really use 500 mins and 200 texts,
biggest thing i'm looking for is free data package.... however, thats a different discussion

any one hazard a guess when the n95 will be out on orange? is it worth waiting for? or shall i go with another network

No news on when it'll finally emerge on Orange but I have confirmation that it will eventually do so.

The brochure they give out in Orange retail outlets contains a photo on its "coming soon" page.

there must be an orange insider here that can leak some info!

I called the call centre to ask, they said they have no plans to release it, only the retail shops will be selling it

i'm sure that will change.

hi. i emailed orange a few weeks back about the N95, they told me that they had no plans to stock it, due to problems with N series , looks like i will have to change network and it would be a big mistake not to have this phone i told them but they dont seem interested, will have to buy sim free or change to a different network. their up and coming soon phone section looks so unexciting what is wrong with them:icon13:

its enough to make me leave, i've been a customer for 10 years
now looking at vodaphone

what orange email address did you email?

hi,sorry for my english.
i'm italian and i would know when n95 will be able in italy, when in other parts of europe and if I'll buy it in uk will it works in italy with italian operators??
please answer me as soon as possible,thank you.
😊

If you buy an unlocked ("SIM free"😉 device from the UK, then it will work in Italy.

If you buy an operator subsidized and "SIM locked" device from the UK, then it will only work with the SIM card(s) from the operator that locked it in the first place.

The N95 is not available yet in any country, but presumably will be soon.

just had orange phone me up 10 mins ago, they told me that the N95 will be out 2 April. but i have to look on the website and as soon as i see it, to contact him on his private email ... orange ftp group which he gave me and he will sort out it all out for me Hmmm.not sure

It's on the orange site as coming soon too. Phoned the call centre and they said they won't do it. Asked her to check and she said will be sometime in april.

Hey people, i work for CPW so i just thought id fill you in.

Im currently waiting for one of these on Orange, they are coming out, we're just waiting for stock to come through. The prices and everything are already on the system, just no stock

We have them on o2 NOW! (Which are also sim free btw) Aparantly we had some delivered to the shop today but im off this week.

T-mobile ones should be any time soon also.

; )

I have just been into Phones4u and they have just sold the last of their N95's.. Apparently they only have them on Orange.

CPW - Only have them on O2 (and seem to have good stocks)

I'm waiting for 3 to launch it..

I put a deposit down on one sunday at Phones 4 U. Went in yesterday for it around 5pm, when they then told me they were sold out, and the phone was a further £100 for the handset. I demanded to speak 2 the area manager, and got what I want... The phone for Free, and one brand new, straight out of the stock room 😃
