I've been having very similar issues with Orange too. First, sending and receiving text messages wouldn't work, then I realised incoming calls were being directed straight to answer phone and finally I ended up not even being able to make outgoing calls - all this with a decent signal!
I finally called customer service and was told to switch my phone into 2G only mode due to a supposed weak 3G signal in my area - funny how this never used to be an issue for me. This does seem to have solved my problems, but it's not a satisfactory way of doing it.
This has all occurred approximately since the Orange/T-mobile merger (and, yes, I have signed up for the signal sharing).
It's safe to say I shan't be renewing with Orange!
