I've had it with Orange now!

Dodgy Nokia 6500 which they wont take back
Bad reception

And now i've discovered that my number was in use by an ex-Orange customer less than 2 months ago,

I'm getting phone calls and texts for this person all the time, they are annoying, some are from text dating services and some of the content is explicit.

When I tried signing up to Your account on the Orange website, it was locked to the last user of my number and it took Orange nearly a week to clear it!

The mobile networks have been allocated with new numbers even ones which start 075,I dont see why Orange cant use them and why they have to recycle numbers which have been disconnected just under 3 months.

I've phoned Orange about this but I keep ending up in India talking to a brick wall, so i'm gonna write to them instead to Bristol, I might get a better response from that!

Anyone else experience this with Orange or any other phone company, I know some people have experienced this with Telewest and BT.
