By all accounts the registration process is going quite smoothly. Orange speeded up the process by voluntarily cancelling all cards that had not been used once in 12 months - that saved 500,000 phantom a/cs on their databases.

If anybody has any specific questions pls feel free to PM me.

I REPEAT this new registration process applies ONLY to PAYG (and NOT to contract) and ONLY those first sold BEFORE Nov 2008. All others have ALREADY been added to the central databases.
