Have I Reactivated My Orange Dial Up Account?

Now I'm on Sky broadband I know I need to reactivate my Orange/Freeserve account once in a while. I've dialed in using my dial up account but how do I know that my "counter" has been reset?

I'm not sure what you mean by reset. As long as you dial into your account at least once every 219 days it will stay active. you can find out all about it here

Thanks. You've actually answered my question even if you weren't sure what the question was!

If the reason you need to reactivate is just to use the email addy, then you don't even need to unneccessarily dial-in as suggested by smiler_j.

All you need to do is go to "Your Account" at Orange's Website and it will offer to reactivate your account when it is deactivated.

If you do not use your account to connect to the Net for over 219 days, it is deactivated and you are given 40 days to reactivate it, on the Orange Website at "Your Account". However, they give you warning of this via email on the last day b4 deactivation, so you can reactivate it immediately.

I tried going to the Orange page when using my Sky bb and it it did was take me to a page to reinstall the Orange dial up software.The same thing happened when I used dial up but I'm assuming that using dial up in itself has reactivated my account.

Yes that will have worked. Send yourself an e-mail to ty it out:)

Yes, it did. However, I was recommending, for the next time you need to reactivate your account (in 219 days time), that you just go to "Your Account" Webpage. Logging in there is sufficient to reactivate your account; you can then ignore the invitation to Install your account settings on your PC.
