Hi Justin, It seems from reading http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=22165574 that this is an on-going problem with Orange, and indeed Google also found a similar thread dated last year at http://www.orangeproblems.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2550 However searching Google suggests they are not alone.
