The end of an era

perlmongerI just noticed that "Orange" has vanished from my 6310i's display; ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ramtops has rung me and, lo!, the pre-loved E65 she's bought me announced itself with the old Radio Tirana ident that burkesworks was kind enough to send me.
I've been on Orange since (I think) 1995, for no particularly good reason other than inertia in this era of PAC codes. All telecoms providers are rat felchers (a tradition or old charter ensures this, as I understand it, although "why?" continues to baffle), but Orange had become worse than most and, more to the point, ludicrously expensive once my number was left alone on the contract (Mac switched hers to O2 a while back, for some odd reason). 3 PAYG makes a lot more sense - and if it stops doing so, the phone can always be unlocked.
As you'll gather, my number is unchanged, for those of you who have it. Not that anybody but Mac ever rings me on the thing anyhow :)
