So ive been getting calls on my orange phone and even my home line which is unlisted so i have no idea where they pulled that number from. No one ever answers when i pick up. The most recent one was yesterday around 1 in the afternoon. Honestly, there has to be some method to put an end to this annoying nonsense.

They keep ringing me on both my landline and mobile, but I just ignore it every time.

This number keeps ringing me and it’s definitely not Orange. Don’t pick up or just block it!

This has nothing to do with Orange. It’s a total con. My younger sister fell for it because she didn’t know any better and went ahead giving her bank info, believing she was getting a bargain! Please don’t be fooled by this!!

I found out you might be able to get them to stop ringing you by taking your number off their list through this form. Gave it a go myself. Fingers crossed it does the trick, because the calls have been driving me mad lately.

I keep getting calls from this number on both my pay-as-you-go phone and my landline, usually about 11 in the morning or just after 1 in the afternoon. Most of the time no one picks up when I answer. It's really annoying!

I heard you can get them to stop ringing if you submit your details through this form to have your number taken off their list. Gave it a go just now. Fingers crossed it actually does the trick, ‘cause their calls have been driving me crazy lately.

Picked up the call and it turned out to be Orange wanting to push some contract upgrade on me. Bit odd since I’m on pay as you go, so I dont even have a contract with them!

Got a couple of calls from this number but no one spoke when I answered. Proper annoying! I'm fed up with Orange not sorting this out at all. Think I'm switching to a different network.

Seriously, can you just stop ringing me all the time? It's getting really annoying!

I keep getting calls from this number but no one speaks when I pick up. Since it's a landline, I can't just text 'stop' or anything. Honestly, enough already - please stop calling me!

SLM Connect is a company working with Orange Pay As You Go users. You can check them out at http://www.slmconnect.co.uk. They're legit, so they would've most likely obtained your number directly from Orange.

Yeah, it’s definitely a scam. I usually save the number in my contacts as something like “Scam Alert” so I don’t end up picking up by mistake. Works every time!

This number has been ringing me non stop these past few days. Luckily, I never picked up! I reckon Orange must’ve handed over my number or something. So careless of them! I’m seriously thinking of switching to a different network now.

We absolutely refuse to answer calls from unknown numbers. While I was overseas, I received countless calls, and upon answering, I discovered that these callers were charging £1.10 a minute just to take the call. The number was 01612778194.

About half a year ago I switched my number hoping to dodge all the pesky cold calls. Guess what? They still manage to ring me. I really gave them a chance to have a good chat, didn’t I!

This happened to me too, just like the others here. Got a call from Orange, promising some "great" offer. The bloke, Kyle, was proper pushy and got a bit rude when I started asking stuff. I wasn’t keen to commit right away, but Kyle just wouldn’t back off. He kept insisting we schedule a call later. I’ve been with Orange for nearly ten years now, and they’ve never rang me up with anything better or cheaper. Seems fishy to me, like it's some sort of scam.

Got a couple of calls from them this week, claiming to be from Orange. They asked how much I usually top up, and I told them if they really were from Orange, they’d already have that info. That seemed to annoy the bloke, he got a bit snappy. Honestly, best thing to do is just hang up straight away.

Sounds like this might be a call from Orange, the telecommunication company!

Just had a missed call from this number, showing up as Manchester on my phone. So, I rang up a few Orange stores and staff in Manchester to check, but none of them recognised it as one of their numbers. Seems pretty dodgy if you ask me. I reckon whoever’s behind this might be just dialing random numbers from sites like http://www.mobilephones-uk.com/, hoping someone will take the bait. The folks at the other end are definitely scammers pretending to be someone they're not. Honestly, these types need to be caught and locked up ASAP.

I've had this number ringing me loads over the past week as well. Thought maybe it was Manchester Airport trying to sell something using my details... but honestly, it’s likely just some dodgy company like Orange or something. It’s tricky to know for sure these days - feels like they treat us like nothing more than sales numbers.

ANOTHER BLOODY CALL FROM SOME ANNOYING NUMBEr, I reckon Orange is behind it, they seem to sell private numbers to anyone with cash. Orange's service is a total mess, feels like they don't care at all - just a sneaky, faceless outfit. Time to switch providers, for sure ??
