Orangeclick.ch, How To Order & DATA option

[bourbonkiller]

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.

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

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.
