Orange, the mobile phone network

A whopping 99% of Britons are covered by Orange’s 2G network and it operates the biggest integrated 2.5G/3G network in the United Kingdom. Orange UK offers customers two plans: Pay monthly and pay as you go (plans are named rather interestingly after animals - Monkey, Dolphin, Canary, Raccoon and Camel). In the former, the customer is billed for using the mobile phone services of the provider at the end of each month. Orange has multiple 'pay monthly' plans designed to meet the unique needs of different categories of customers. For instance, there is a plan for those who want unlimited internet and mailing options, great for those looking to use their phone for entertainment and business professionals on the go. Those who want to keep in touch with loved ones over the phone can go for monthly plans that offer unlimited texting and more call minutes. The rates vary with each plan, but Orange's monthly plans cater to the requirements of a large segment of consumers.

Pay as you go plans from Orange are well-thought out and they reward customer for top-ups with benefits like free texts, free music and free internet. Like its monthly plans, Orange’s pay as you go plans also accommodate the needs of different customers, whether it is free internet, local calls at low prices or cheapest international roaming rates, you will almost always find a plan that is perfect for your mobile needs.

Phones offered by Orange

Orange was among the first mobile phone networks in the UK to sell its products online. You can buy some of the best mobile phones in the market from the Orange website and offline stores. Depending on your needs, you can choose Orange smartphone deals based on Android, Bada, Symbian, Blackberry and Windows OS operating systems.

Orange's own smart phones boast of good multimedia capabilities, including MP3 player, FM radio, a high resolution camera and a video recorder. Some Orange phones come with QWERTY keyboards, which make typing text messages and emails easy. Bluetooth is a standard feature on almost every Orange smartphone. Good memory and fast performance are other highlights of Orange touch screen mobile phones.

Whether you are looking to buy a new 3G Orange smartphone or considering a change from your existing mobile phone network, make sure you do some research and read online reviews to make an informed decision. Before you make the purchase, compare products from competitors of Orange, including 3 Mobile, T-Mobile, O2 and Vodafone.
