you can only order it if you are a swiss rezident.. how disappointing :ranting2:

No, you NEED to be in Switzerland for receive the <span style='color:red'>O-Click</span> sim card but you can have the residence where you prefer :)

I got my <span style='color:red'>O-Click</span> at home of a my friend and I used my italian passport for the details without any problem :thumbup:

If you're in Switzerland you can order and receive the sim card at hotel for example... a nice and cheap idea :P

thank you andread !!! sounds great!

how do i prove my identity ? do i fax them or scan the passport details ?

No... when you'll receive the sim card @ your swiss address the postman will want to see the same identify card that you used for your details online. So he can check your data. This is a special service of Swiss Mail and this is why you have to be there (and not abroad) for receiving the sim card.

<span style='color:red'>O-Click FAQs</span>

- Can my order be delivered abroad?
No, delivery is made in Switzerland (and FL) only.

- What sort of ID do I need to register?
To register you must provide a valid official document. Depending on your nationality, you will be asked to provide the details of your Swiss identity card or passport.

- Do I have to go to an Orange location to prove my identity?
No, the details that you enter at 'orangeclick.ch' will be checked by the postman on delivery of your order.

- Do I personally have to take delivery of the order?
Yes, you must personally take delivery of the order because the postman has to check your identity. Show the same ID as that with which you used to register.

- I was out when my orangeclick starter kit was delivered. What can I do?
You can pick up the starter kit from the post office in the next 7 days (in accordance with the instructions left by your postman). If you call the post office and request that this period be extended. If you do not pick up your starter kit within this period, it will automatically be delivered a second time.

- I have forgotten to collect my orangeclick starter kit from the post office. What should I do?
You don?t need to do anything at all. The starter kit is automatically dispatched a second time.

- Can I use my 'orangeclick.ch' abroad as soon as I receive my SIM card?
Yes, but the first paid call must be made from Switzerland. Then you can call from abroad as much as you like.

i suppose i should read more carefuly then :) thanks andrea

Dear prepaidgsm friends.

I do own a orangeclick.ch SIM since their offer started. The idea when buying this sim were, to put it into my palm tungsten W and have a backup SIM and can check emails on the go.

Orange offers a "montly subcription" called "Express" which cost 5 CHF a month. Included should be all data-traffic within the "orangeworld portal". It didn't took too long to understand, that ALL traffic is statet in the online bill with 0,00 CHF (I never ever used their online portal once).

But now for something I just realised during the last months. When I were on a tasting in Austria (roaming on ONE network)late summer, I've also used my tungsten to go online...... and have been billed... 0,00 CHF. Weeks later in London, again the same.

Since there seem a lot of prepaidgsm members around, owning such a SIM-Card, what about a "stress test". Would someone who lives or stays outside Switzerland activate the Express Option as well to check this?

When this is reality (which I guess), you won't find a cheaper DATA-Prepaidcard for travelling.

By the way AndreA, have you seen the new "Crossborder-Option"?

" Cross-Border Option has been created especially for people working inside Switzerland but living in one of the bordering countries. It is exclusively reserved for orangeclick.ch customers.

For any subscription to orangeclick.ch it is mandatory to provide a delivery address in Switzerland, i.e. the mail address of your employer.


Offer details

* One option covering four bordering countries: France, Italy, Germany and Austria
* Local calls in Switzerland: CHF 0.39/min (vs. more than CHF 1.50/min with your national non Swiss operator)
* Calls made from Switzerland to bordering countries on fixed and mobile lines: CHF 0.59/min (vs. more than CHF 1.60/min with your national non Swiss operator)
* Calls received in Switzerland: free (vs. more than CHF 0.80/min with your national non Swiss operator)
* Calls received in any one of the four bordering countries: CHF 0.29/min (vs. more than CHF 0.60/min. with the other Swiss operators)
* Cost of Cross-Border Option: CHF 5.-/month (check prices at www.orangeclick.ch


Hope some more owners of orangeclick SIMs will join this experiment

Yes, I knew it... we wrote about that in Orangeclick.ch page too ( http://www.prepaidgsm.net/en/svizzera/orangeclick.html ) :beer:

Also it's more interesting the other option about "unlimited data"... very soon I'll test it too :construction:

I have been in Germany yesterday. Here is my updated report on the "data roaming" billing with orangeclick and activated "express" option.

Germany: D1, billed in full (connection stated online with price)
Austria: ONE, used twice - nothing billed, connection stated online with 0,-
Austria: T-Mobile, used several times - nothing billed, connection stated online with 0,-
UK: Orange, used 3-4 times during my last visit in London - nothing billed, connection stated online with 0,-

Hopefully, more will try and update this List about not charged Dataroaming with orangeclick.

Just came back from Berlin (ITB) and have some great news with me. I had my orangeclick SIM with me and wondered that it worked well with 3g coverage at Zurich airport and also when roaming on T-Mobile in the middle of Berlin.

When travelling to Bern in January, the SIM didn't register within 3g-Coverage and the phone stuck. This is especially nice, since they still offer the "Express-Option" with unlimited Access to mobile internet for CHF 5.00

Could anyone with orangeclick SIM try the 3g roaming capability too?

BK

I forgot to write about that :D

I used for 8 days my O-Click sim card in Switzerland last week...
I visited Zurich, Fribourg, Lausanne and Geneva and I found a very good UMTS coverage and a perfect interaction with my OrangeClick sim card too. Then thanks to the "Express option" ( you can read - in italian, sorry - my TLC blog http://andtrap.mondo3.com/?p=35: you pay only for the days that you use! So you can pay less than 5 CHF if you need it only for one week :thumbup: ) Anyway I surfed unlimited with my laptop without any limit on their 3G system. It was really great! :) The only negative thing that O-Click actually can't make/receive videocalls, but I'm not so interested about that.

@ bourbon: do you have still free GPRS roaming abroad? I always paid in Italy and France with Express Option too.... 0.30 CHF :(

I forgot to write it in the last weeks... but i just remembered that you were looking for that...

funny, in Austria I have not been charged (neither at T-Mobile nor at ONE), in Germany (T-Mobile) I have been charged in full (very expensive).


Have you seen the new Orange Portal? Looks quite good. I use my orangeclick SIM now as my only Phone in Switzerland and will cancel my TANGO LI SIM with free incoming calls.


BK

Is *122# supposed to work as credit balance command on Orangeclick.ch, or is there another way of getting the balance on-screen? I'm stuck..

the only way is... online. O-Click is totally web-based at this moment :D

You can set an alarm, not more.

Yes, last month I found a interesting TV-streaming service too :)

Really good. The only bad thing is that now the Option "Orange Express" checks your data connection. So you don't pay for the portal (and Opera Mini :whistle: ), but if you check via POP3 your email you'll be charged 0.10CHF :( I wrote them and they correctly answered me that the Express Option is only for the "Portal"... so their APN (click) charge POP3 connections :(

UPDATE 07.01.07

After you're logged in orangeclick.ch offersa new service under your personal details:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="left-top" colspan="3" height="19">The SMS notification

</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"> If you leave the SMS notification turned on, an SMS is automatically sent to you after each chargeable call. This indicates the cost of the last call and your new account status. </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="left-top">
</td></tr></tbody></table>:thumbup::thumbup:

Update 2007: it's available also at any Orange Center and InterDiscount shops. It's more expensive than online (20CHF vs. 10) but you can have directly without any swiss address.

Well in the last months they changed a lot of things, just wrote about that. We need another update. The "Express" option was closed and the new one is called "Mobile Internet": dor CHF 5.- per month, Mobile Internet offers you unlimited access to Orange World within Switzerland, as well as to WAP services, Orange Internet and email. Also with Mobile Internet 2Mb of traffic out of the Orange domain are included and you will then pay only CHF 2.50/Mb.

This is officially: in the last 15 days I had that option (Micannese too) and I don't have any traffic billed for my extrabundle (and we passed a lot the 2Mb out of the Orange domain :rolleyes:). Anyway I had the usual troubles with POP3 connections... :???:

Still no Data-Billing
 

Hi prepaid-friends,

travelling lots in the last half year I didn't have too much time for this forum. Just wanted to keep you posted, that until today still no DATA-Billing is set with orange click.

I got my brand new Samsung SGH i320 (wm5) three weeks ago and guess, the active push from my exchange server isn't billed in any way. It seems, that the Server doesn't recognise the connection since my billing-page doesn't show any connections and state's CHF 0.00 for the last 2 weeks (with heavy push email data traffic). Also surfing around with mobile explorer doesn't cause any costs. Lets see what will happen within the next months.

My suggestion to everyone coming to switzerland this summer is to enter a orange or interdiscount store and buy a brand new spv c100 (HTC S310) with a orangeclick SIM for 199.00 Swiss Francs and you will receive your push emails for null.

Be aware, that swiss orange prepaid products do have huge problems with outgoing calls in germany at present. It's almost impossible to make a active call when roaming within germany - inbound calls are working without any problems.

Also for roaming purposes, the prices for Data-Roaming with orangeclick are quite fair. They charge usualy about 10 - 15 CHF per mb when roaming in europe (almost the same than with virgin mobile).

Greetings from the swiss boarder....
