I'm not an orange customer so I don't know how the technology of this works.
If someone has used this service please respond.

Basically if you text a certain short code number from an Orange handset you get an SMS back which is like a voucher.
This voucher then entitles you to a two for one entry at certain cinemas.

Is this correct?

What's to stop you sending this SMS on to your non orange friend so you all benefit?

Can you forward the SMS, have you ever tried? Does the cashier behind the counter write something down from your phone? How does it work?

All replies welcome.
Thanks.

I have done it and the cashier checked the message on the phone when I bought the tickets.

Not sure if you can forward on or if the cashier notes a code though?

Well.... you txt the word film through to orange and they send u a txt back with a code on it. U then give the cashier att he cinema your phone and they type the code in to a machine and u get tickets for 1/2 price. Not to sure if u can forward it on or if it's a unique code - I would have thought so cos everyone woud send it to their friends otherwise. xxx

i did not know u could use the code more than once (i.e. fwd it to ur mates) I doubt u could do this as i think it must be a unique code that is put into the machine, but i may try!!!

If I text FILM what number do I send it to?

New to Orange Wednesdays, allways avoided it because of the crowds but with the Showrom now being £7.40 I am out to save what I can.
