I went through the automated droid-ess to register my SIM and give IMEI
etc. to setup an account, I was given an Orange number and I have verified
everything + got my 4 digit security code. I can login to my account and my
number is shown yet when I try to do anything I am told I have not
registered.

"Top up by £30 to receive 'unlimited' texts"..

...and what are the top-up options in 'my account'? £5, £10, £25 and £50.

That's some smart programming there, Lou!

I spoke to a continental droid just now, he took all my details again and
gave me 99p credit for my troubles (woo hoo) - and that is not showing up
either.

If I text ny number I get the messages so I am 'live' to that degree.

Have I fallen in to some nightmarish black-n-orange hole?

Is there any escape?

you have not thought about it here.

top up 25quid, then topup a fiver.

i put 20quid on, 2x10's. job done, alll the keying you need to do is the
last 4 numbers on yer visa and the 3 numbers on its rear.
