Hi All,

It's a bit of a long story but to condense it.

1. Bought my wife a new mobile phone on Orange tariff (she was on
Virgin)
2. She hated the phone and Orange
3. Had given Orange my PAC number the day I got the phone.
4. Took phone back the next day and got a cancellation note from the
carephonewarehouse on the temporary number.
5. Her phone today said 'Registration Failed'
6. Virgin say the number has been ported to Orange
7. Orange say that unless you have an Orange sim chip the 2 spare
phones I have (both say something like SIM registration failed) you
can't make or receive calls.

Bottom line is I have two spare phones, a Virgin Mobile SIM and an
active Orange account (with the ported Virgin number), what can I do
to get her phone working? Orange say to call back tomorrow, get a
PAC number, give it to Virgin and wait 5 - 7 days!! You can imagine
the wife's face right now can't you!

TIA
Darren
