3617

jeje -  
Hello,
on my June bill, Orange is asking me to pay €61 for the 3617 service that I have never accessed. What should I do to get my money back? Thank you.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    3617 is not a service, but simply an access number for Minitel, which in turn allows access to services (the "codes"; for example, 3615 code kinenveut).
    Minitel is managed by France Telecom, and the access numbers are theirs (3611, 3614, 1615, and 1617 if I remember correctly).

    It is entirely possible for other people to open Minitel services on other numbers, including geographic numbers, by simply using a modem.

      In my opinion, if they mark it, it's because you used it...
      I advise you to ask them to indicate your connection times.
      These connections could have been made:
      - from your Minitel
      - from a software installed on your computer, emulating a Minitel, and connected via a PSTN modem (the old ones that prevent you from using the phone at the same time)
      - your neighbor connected to your phone line with alligator clips (or a passerby)
      - maybe there are ways to access the Minitel via your DSL line that I don't know about

        I did not use the mini phone, that is certain. Who should I contact to find out more?

          contact the customer service: the number is marked on the invoice!
          I think it's 3614. If it wasn't you who used the Minitel, it was probably your wife, your kids, your cleaning lady...
