Anyone on here have an iPhone on Orange?

I have been an Orange customer for years so I am considering upgrading to an iPhone at the next upgrade.

Anyone have any experience of the iPhone on Orange?

happy enough with mine. went for bog std 3G on £29 a month contract as my upgrade. coverage is good, reception has its moments, given that I am in town. 3G quick enough and data allowances is 750mb on 3G, 750mb on bundled wifi (BT openzone). certainly better than all the HTC smartphones I have had (starting from original SPV in about 2002 to the touch diamond I traded in at mazuma (possibly the owrst phone I have ever owned)

I'm on Orange and have an iPhone - it's a 32gb 3GS model and it's brilliant. Sold my iPod touch, put my music and video's on it and browse the net when I can. Some forums use an app called TapTalk - wish this site did - and it's brilliant.

Got one for the missus - 3G FOC & 31.50 a month (loyalty discount). She's very happy with it, but it doesn't seem much more useful than my old E51 work phone TBH.

Some very annoying features (can't save a draft text, have to read a new message before you can hang up, etc) which are just plain madness. The games keep her quiet though 😉

I think you can save your text as an email then copy and paste it back again - might be worth a try. I've had messages when talking and didn't have to read it - is that what you meant?

Yep. When you receive an email during a conversation, you have to read the text before you can hang up (i.e., you have to push something on screen first before you can push the red button).

Having to save a draft text as anything else and then indulge in Apple's cut and paste routine is - frankly - bizarre.
