Orange landline problem – can you help?

Got a note in from a reader:

My girlfriend is on Orange and whenever she calls landlines, the sound is distorted and she can hear herself talking, calling mobiles – its perfect.. shes had 5 different phones – still the same fault. Any thoughts?

Very strange. My Orange connection is fine with landlines. It must be something to do with her SIM or her line, surely?

  1. I have an Orange account with a Nokia 6500 classic, and previous N70 on it and have experienced the distortion and echo on all call types. I have found that dissabling 3G helps reduce this and generally improves voice, but it still happens. Orange signal is really poor at getting through walls so It is issue is far more prevalent indoors.
    Basically the Orange signal just sucks in many places. If you try and talk to them about it they blanket deny the problem exists.
    99% of the time if you hang up and dial again the echo disappears.
