    Mailwasher is reporting errors since last night. Seems to have been down
    for more 12 hours now.
    Orange are 'upgrading' their mail service. Most ISP's seem to do this
    with little disruption, but Hey, this IS Orange

    Well at least it isn't just me..! I only use the Orange account for the
    SMS alerts, I forward mail from my main account there for that purpose
    alone, but it looks as though its days are numbered.

    All I'm waiting for now is Orange to "simplify" the meaning of "for life"
    on my Out Here pack and that really will be me gone.

    Indeed I think that the fact that a charge of £0.00 showed they are playing
    around with billing for SNS alerts.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to remove that as well. Myself and my
    wife have got two 'out here' accounts and I suspect they'll try and remove
    it as they expect that people have forgotten about the 'for life' promise.

    Are you joking? I bought this for the "free for life" 5 daily text messages,
    I haven't had this benefit for 2-3 years. Thought they'd crawled out of this
    with small print. Anyone still seriously getting any benefits from this?

    Haven't paid for a text message in 6 years. Only ever send 3 or 4 a week.

    The POP3 server is still down, BTW (just to get back on topic..!)

    the texts returned a few days ago - about the time the log in changed
    to [email protected]. Previously they had been broken/disabled if
    you used another email account to forward to your orange.net address.

    They were pretty useless for me though as they didn't have whole
    subject line and I'd got used to not having them.

    The SMTP server stopped working a few days ago if you were using a
    'non-orange' email reply-to address.

    The POP server has been down for a couple of days - I'm giving up on
    them have redirected to another account and am going to give up Orange
    phone when contract comes up because this was the only reason I was
    still with them really.

    I guess if you pay nothing for a service they don't think that you
    value it.

    Seems like the ability to text from the website went as well, but maybe
    i haven't looked hard enough.

    Sorry, to go off topic again but this is important to me for obvious
    reasons!
    I have occasionally got free messages over the last couple of years, but, I
    put that down to computer error in my favour!
    Now I'm angry and will spending yet another 25p to ring customer services. I
    hope registering for free evening calls recently, has not buggered me!

    Cheers

    They tried to wittle it down to 3 free a day about 2 years ago but had to
    reinstate them back to 5 within days.

    Still getting my free texts.

    That'll be it. Registering ANY promotion to an account with "Out Here" on it
    will cancel the Out Here package.

    This includes promotions such as 3p texts for 3 months, free evening calls
    for 5 years, and bonus top-up.

    ....and as it's ringfenced, it's gone forever. Don't waste your 25p.

    Sorry!

    POP3 server seemed OK just now when I pulled two e-mails onto my
    phone. (its set to pop.orange.net)
    So you may want to try it and see if it works for you.

    Good news. According to customer services, the Christmas free evening calls
    promotion did not cancel the Out Here package. This promotion was not a
    purchased pack or change of account, so I am ok. They confirmed I have had
    free text messages for the last 6 months (that's how far back they could
    check this evening). I am convinced that I did not receive them for a long
    interval though, so will be pursuing this with Orange. At 12p a message on
    the Just Talk account I was rarely texting, so back to 5 a day from now on
    and I'm staying on Just talk!
    I think it's time for a second phone or dual sim phone though, so I can
    avail myself of the 15p/ min all day rate ;-)

    Back on topic..... pop server still down
