I called Orange the other day to see if they have any Video calling bundles on Pay Monthly, and they simply said no! So I asked why and they said, it was simply because Video calling and 3G phones are not catching on.

So that means video calling someone on Orange will cost 30p per minute, Video calling someone on another network costs 50p per minute.

I also asked if the 3G reception would be expanded as its not very good in my area, they said no!

And they also told me that no more new content will be added to Mobile TV for now.

So is this the begining of the end of Orange 3G?

Its disappointing as i'm on a really good service plan for calling and texting,as it will mean transfering to Hutchison 3G, no other 3G network works as well,in fact Hutchison 3G's reception seems better than Orange's in my house.

Whats everyone elses thoughts on this???
