Stu · **Orange UK UMA Phone -** 22-05-2009, 15:18

I have an Orange OVP Virgin account. I know there are better deals out there, but everyone has this number and this makes it easy. The one down side is that I don't have roaming on it. While I can pass a UK credit check, I can't pass the secondary one for roaming. While all prepaids now roam throughout Western Europe, there is no limited roaming option on the contract side.

Every now and then I have the need to access the darn account from outside the UK, e.g. I will loan the SIM to a friend who fails to reset the call diversion when he/she leaves or I want to create minimal usage on the SIM card just to make sure that it somehow doesn't go to inactive status.

Anyone have a suggestion for a cheap compatible phone that I can get from Fleebay?
