Story: Orange roaming rates claim another victim

It's doubly ironic that as I read about the Orange discontent I'm faced with a flashing banner advertising Orange's 'mobile email solutions' and encouraging me to find out more about their business solutions.

If they're going to rip me off as soon as I step out of the UK I'm not going to bother!

The comment about price fixing is a valid one, as there is no way to justify their costs for data transfer, other than the standard approach of keeping it a secret and then cashing in on the profits they make as a result.

I'd be tempted to check their compliance with distance selling legislation, as if they're selling you a service online and they haven't disclosed the true cost is that not illegal?
