    etc.

    The text at the bottom of the page says...

    "the recipient will have the option to pay £5 to read the message.
    Users must be 16+, this is not a subscription service. "

    I am surprised that they are still doing this tbh and that they
    haven't been simplified away yet.

    Well, Orange tried to change it to three per day, but had to retract the
    change when threatened with legal action by thousands of people
    (invcluding me). They had said five per day forever.

    At 10p per text, that's a value of nearly £200 per user per year, which
    makes it worth taking to court over. So Orange can't really wriggle out
    of it.
