Has noodle gone to pot

Looks like it is a sweet and sour story for all the noodle customers out there. It seems so far that 02 contracts purchased from Carphonewarehouse are getting a lovely message saying that the number is out of order and to contact noodle.

What does this have to do with noodle?? It is 02 that has blocked the call. Bit like when you buy a Pizza from Pizza Hut and they say sorry the Pizza tastes crap contact Domino's Pizza.

It is 02 that has taken the football and walked off the pitch with it. Richard Branson's Virgin team said something to that effect when apparently Sky stopped Virgin from broadcasting Lost, 24 and the other shows on SKY ONE.

Noodle are a UK Mobile Telecom Company just like T-Mobile, Virgin,02, Orange 3 and Vodafone. But it looks like none of the football teams want another team to join. Bit like the Big Four Premiership Clubs.

Well then can have their football, just wait till 3 gets Skype working properly on their phone. Then they may kick the 3 football to touch.

More disturbingly it seems that Orange users may be charged to call 07822 3 noodle numbers. There is no mention of 07822 3 number on http://www1.orange.co.uk/termsupdate/

Looks like hidden charges to me. It mentions

"Customers who use call forwarding services with numbers beginning with 078730, 079785 and 078225 should note that these changes apply to these numbers from 15 December 2007."

Cant see 07822 3 in the above paragraph. Maybe the text is in white. I wonder what Google would say. Apparently Google bans websites that have white text on a white background. Something to do with trying to get a higher search racking. Maybe Google should ban companies that operate hidden charges.

You are right, I can't call India any more. Orange are crap, how can they charge for a number that is not listed as chargable.

I am going to cancel my anytime anynetwork contract and get and pay as u go phone and then use a landline access number to call india.

I just don't know what to do. I used to call Bangladesh using the access number, but from 19th dec, i lost it. I think I have to go for pay as u go contract. It's sooo irritating.

i am a very high business user of o2 n i found that o2 is crap every month they block one number n i hope after some time o2 is going to block all numbers accept o2 numbers n i am not sure about o2 numbers as well.078223 numbers are working from orange n landlines but when i call to o2 cs they said its dead number they tried from landline n mobile n while talking to them i call from my landline n orrange number n its working n they were listening as well but even then they say that its a dead number, moral of the story is that they are all crap. n i saw on o2 website that they suspend some numbers temporarily 'Temporarily Suspended Numbers

The following numbers have been temporarily barred as O2 is currently in dispute with the providers of these services. We are trying to resolve this so that access can be restored.
079785, 078225, 079789, 078730, 078931, 079118, 079112, 078223 and 079780'.
this is all crap what is the fault of user, o2 has dispute with them why user is suffering.we are paying them for their services.
