    Roaming with Orange...

    Off on Holiday to Paris at the end of the month... I'm currently on an Orange contract but just wondering what my options are?

    I believe there is a £5 package I can buy on orange to get some discounts but it doesn't sound great... free 60 minutes of incoming calls, and discounted outgoing calls... 30p texts, shocking data usage... etc

    I've ordered a free vodafone sim as I know they have got rid of their roaming charges but I think my phone is locked to orange anyway! (HTC Touch HD)


    So what are my options? Just the above?

    ask them to unlock the phone or give you free roaming as Vodafone offer the service for free

    Worth a shot!
