Getting One On Contract*, Wednesday.
Any Comments? (Either Warning Me Away Or Saying, "Go For It" Would Be Appreciated)
*Orange Dolphin Contract - �35 A Month = UNLIMITED Texts and 600 Mins.
Thanks.
N95 On Orange. Yey or Nay?
orange n95s are missing features
They lack (as with Vodafone) the Internet Calling features. Taken out so that you have to use them to make phone calls, giggle.

Unless you flash the Orange N95 with Generic Firmware and Phoenix 2007 service software. I now have Orange AND Internet Calling.

(Un-fairly?) Harsh
If you are a forum member who likes the Orange service and tariffs, then see this thread for info on how to re-enable VOIP Internet Calls on an Orange branded N95.
If your gonna have the �35 a month tarriff, the handset is going to cost in the regieon of �199.95. Id recomend going to phones 4U getting vodafone �40 a month, 500 mins, 3000 texts, vodafone family and if you push the sales consultant you will get the phone for free!
Changed, Now I'm Getting It On O2. =P

o2 texter 600 is a good deal at the moment, as you get the Long Weekends promo - 2000 extra anytime anynet minutes to use on sat sun and mon. Phone is �90 on that tariff.
If you're already an Orange customer and they want to keep you, you can get a better deal out of them. I've got my N95 arriving today, handset for free, on a �35 tariff, with 2600 anytime anynet minutes and "unlimited" (i.e. 3000) texts a month.
I dont use voip (why would you want to, with that many minutes?!) and I like the Orange Wednesdays promo that they have running. I also like the idea of free broadband - althoguh I'm not sure about the quality/reputation.

Making calls to and from abroad! That is the entire reason I use VOIP, those minutes won't come out of your package (small print) and cost a fortune over GSM networks.

Ah good point. Although if I'm making calls from within the UK to a foreign country then how about one of the 07744 long distance carriers (see here for more info)
I see that having a voip thingydoodaa would help if you were already abroad and calling back to the UK, what with Orange's astronomical roaming charges.

I walked into my local Phones4U shop and negotiated the following deal.
�40pm Line Rental (Orange 950XNET Voice, 30 mins Video, 300SMS), FREE N95, �60 chequeback after 1 month.
Do you get any data allowance. This phone has so many web-based features I strongly recommend getting a fixed rate data package of some kind
