It is now 06/03/07, and I am in same boat as tetsuo_therob was at on 30/06/05.
Does anyone out there know if the advice given by tiredoldbroker is still valid today\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\/

I'd suggest that you start by writing to the UK office, which is at

50 George Street
London W1U 7DZ
United Kingdom

Tel: [phone]
Fax: [phone]

addressing your letter to the Company Secretary and explaining that you hold a certificate (quote the number on the cert and the number of shares you hold) and saying that you want to know what to do next. Are you sure you didn't just take the money at the time of the takeover, which was about 5 years ago ?

Hello folks

I bought some Orange stock when they first floated a few years back, and have never loked into their value, and indeed never really followed any markets.

Imagine my suprise when I checked on ADVFN today and saw that the stock no longer exists as of April 2004!

Obvious questions:

1) what happened?
2) how do I find out if I hold any stock of whoever bought Orange
3) who do I contact to get the share certificates etc.
4) how silly am I?

Cheers

I have been asked same question by a friend who has a few Orange.

France Telecom's share price doesn't suggest the French market is aghast at the prospect and they have just got back into the black after a torrid period. Dividend appears to be 4%, and there's almost nil chance FT will be allowed to disappear like a lot of smaller telecoms.

But then there's currency exchange risk, and why would anyone dump money into a lumbering elephant like FT?

Any thoughts?

Anyone?

[omaratthebeach] 20/9/2003 14:19

can anyone give advicon what to do with the france telecom offer? Will France Telecom dividends be worth the switch?

[acetc] 03/9/2003 10:06

just sold at 654 can't see how France telecom is going to perform better than OGE. Anyway no divi and there are much better stocks out there.

[adelwire] 02/9/2003 15:58

well I bought at beginning 2nd time around - should i sell? Or is the future with France telecom better

[acetc] 01/9/2003 08:16

what is the offer to shareholders? why such a big bid-offer spread? will the bid price go higher than this?

Increase in price: decrease in volume.

[harfan] 18/8/2003 21:13

its the euro rate that tends to increase the price or decrease it. but hopefully with new 3G and higher subscriber numbers this should rise above the 608 level

[acetc] 15/8/2003 15:10

I don't understand this either but the volume of trades is very low, so that is not really going to affect the price. There must be some news that we are not privy to that is driving OGE upwards. Anyway I don't care what it is....some froggy reason I expect.... as long as we get back above launch price (608).

[rvanr] 15/8/2003 10:45

This share is listed on the Paris exchange so most of the trading is done there and we don't see those details. I think that's the reason, but I'm no expert.

[buntycrudfast] 15/8/2003 09:39

I don't understand this share!

Most of the trades are sells (according to advfn) but the price keeps going up?
Can anybody explain this?

Busabus,

Watch for the outcome of the two month symmetrical triangle.

A good trading signal will be generated on a CLOSE outside of the triangle.

Good luck!

[busabus] 15/7/2003 13:24

any thoughts on where OGE is going? a sell or a hold?

Orange UK Sued By Sendo
9th June 2003

Europe : Sendo today confirmed that it has initiated legal proceedings in the High Court of Justice in London against the mobile phone operator Orange in the United Kingdom. The legal action has been taken because Sendo believes that the Orange SPV smartphone infringes a patent granted to Sendo relating to the design of the circuit board within the phone.

In a reaction Sendo's CEO, Hugh Brogan, stated: "Sendo has created intellectual property rights within the smartphone and mobile phone area.

We have been advised by our patent agents, that the Orange SPV phone infringes these rights. We have tried to solve the matter in an amicable way. However, we are now in a position that we have to take legal steps. We are seeking damages and an injunction to restrain sales of the product. As we have previously stated, if Sendo believes that its global intellectual property rights are infringed, wherever in the world this might be, we will take steps to defend those rights."

While 8 Euro's remains resistance, OGE remains a sell.

The longer the duration of the topping pattern, the more acute the proceeding downturn!

Telecoms have under-performed the Nasdaq in the recent rally!

You pays your money, you takes your choice!

Best of luck!

figures aren't too bright.
Orange now red..3g still a big waste.

[blummers] 16/4/2003 00:51

Quite agree. Dont express to be an expert, but all sales of recent have been individually of small holdings yet purchases have been of significant values. There is obviously belief in this stock in some quarters, and whoever is buying is investing very heavily!

[0rdibblee] 15/4/2003 16:23

I hope you didn't sell back in February, this thread just goes to show what 'foundations of sand' predictions are based on. very sound reasons for the opinions expressed but those opinions proven to be 100% wrong!

Subject: End of SPV Promotion Pack

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
This change affects both personal and small business customers.

The SPV promotional Pack was launched in November 2002 for all new
connections and upgrades to the SPV handset. After the 30 of March
2003, customers will no longer have the option to connect to the
promotion.

There are significant benefits to the SPV customer if GPRS is
provisioned. Please see Scholar >> Products and Services >> Wirefree >>
GPRS under 'What are the exceptions?' for further information.

As of the 27 of February all new registrations have the GPRS Pay As You
Use option automatically applied. In the near future, all upgrade
registrations will also have this product applied automatically.

NB. The Pay As You Use option is only chargeable if the customer uses
the GPRS service, therefore there is no need to terminate the product
if the customer advises that he does not wish to use the service.

As with all customers, the SPV customer may opt to change from the PAYU
option to a chargeable bundle at the point of connection or any other
time.

Customers currently on the SPV Promotional pack will remain on the
promotion until their May bill date, when they will be migrated onto
the GPRS Bundle 2 option charged at £4 per month.

This is a revision in the migration plan, and supersedes any
information in the recent GPRS Tariff Revision training material.

Further information will be communicated nearer the time via briefings,
and Scholar will be updated to reflect this.

management changes are a significant new factor in the future progress of OGE - new management is expected to serve parent company (FT) and its needs rather than develop OGE - i would expect some fallback in the share price in the mid term but to what level? - probably below 400p, perhaps to 350p - any thoughts?
