Registering an Orange PAYG SIM card

phone.
In the blurb, it gives a choice of ringing an 0800 number or doing it
on-line at www.orange.co.uk/payasyougo/registration/
I would prefer to do it on-line - but this link doesn't seem to work - and I
can't find an alternative link on the Orange website.
Anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution? I'm sure I've done one
on-line in the past.

I can't find the link now but I'm sure that a couple of days ago I found a
page on the site that said you were no longer able to register online and
now had to phone that 0800 number. Can't for the life of me find it again
though!

But...
Sorry You can no longer register your pay as you go phone online.
Instead, please call us to register on 0800 079 0006.

Thanks. At least that's definitive rather than just a broken link.
Any idea why they've done that - anti-terrorist measure, or something?

It's always been problematic. Ring the 0800 number, you'll be finished and
running before you get a quarter of the way there on the site..!

Agreed. The web page registration process has seldom worked over the
last year or so.

I suspect that it's because they can't get the website to work
properly. That's fairly typical for the Orange website.

Yes, only Orange PAYG requires registration.
Some people find it a pain, but I never have. It does have an advantage
in that a phone number doesn't have to be allocated until the SIM is
activated, that way boxes on shelves don't waste numbers.

If the government gets its way, every PAYG SIM will have to be
registered. For security reasons ???????????????
Never happen though.
