Report on using Orange Mobicarte in France

Thanks for taking the time to answer!

I've done what you said, and double checked everything. I have tried both of the networks available to me at the moment, but I'm inclined to believe they might be blocking the texts.

I'll just work with the #123# menu for now. Besides the minor glitch with the online registration everything seems to work smoothly.

Update! I finally, after entering the phone number..30 or so times over the last 24 hours...got the password by SMS. Nothing changed in that time, so I'm not sure what the issue was. Anyhow, for general knowledge here, it may take a while for the password to be sent. Just keep trying.

Good news. Come to think of it, I didn't receive the password straight away either, because I was messing round in the #123 menu for a couple of days before I tried the Orange Portal. So maybe the #123 menu triggers something off, or maybe it just takes a while after first switching the phone on with the SIM card in before it can be reached by text message.

It took me a day or so before I could get my SMS code. I think there's an intentional delay after you register before they will let you have a web account.
