Introduction to Orange
You can shop online with Orange for contract / pay monthly mobile phones, pay monthly SIM cards, pay as you go mobiles and Orange mobile broadband and home broadband internet access services. In keeping with the Orange mobile network's history of creativity and fun, Orange's mobile phone price plans are all animal-themed.
Web exclusive offers: buy online for exclusive, web-only line rental discounts on pay monthly price plans plus other online-only Orange offers.
Orange contract / pay monthly mobile phone offers
Orange offers four ranges of animal-themed pay monthly / contract price plans, each range reflecting a way in which people typically use mobile phones (eg mainly for texting, etc). The cheapest pay monthly price plans are available exclusively through Orange's online shop. For other contract phone plans, Orange offers line rental discounts for customers who buy online. All discounts offered by the mobile network are applied to customers' bills directly and automatically, with no need to claim any cashback.
The network's online store features Orange contract deals across mobile phone brands including Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG, Nokia, HTC and BlackBerry - plus reconditioned and clearance mobiles at discounted prices.

The PAYG phone range features mobiles to suit a range of budgets, including models sold under Orange's own brand. You can search for mobiles by price, brand or feature - including 3G, music player, camera phone and email capabilities.

Orange's online shop offers discounts off some PAYG mobile phones when a top-up is bought at the same time.
Orange mobile broadband
Orange offers mobile broadband on 18 month contracts. The connection is delivered using an Orange Broadband Dongle, an HSDPA modem that plugs into the USB port on Windows and Apple Mac computers. The dongle comes free of charge and offers mobile broadband connection speeds of up to 3.6Mbps, subject to coverage.
Orange mobile broadband is charged at a fixed cost of £15 per month under the Internet Everywhere 18 price plan, with out of bundle charges applying if the 3GB monthly bandwidth allowance is exceeded. The Internet Everywhere package is designed for use in the UK, so roaming charges apply for any use whilst abroad.
Orange home broadband
Although Orange began as a mobile phone network, its vision now spans a wider range of products and services. Orange home broadband, for example, offers affordably-priced broadband internet access for home users:
Features and benefits vary by package, including connection speeds, usage allowances and the type of broadband modem supplied. Some broadband packages include evening and weekend calls from home phone lines (BT line required), whilst Orange Home Max broadband also includes the cost of telephone line rental.
Costs for Orange home broadband vary according to network coverage. Orange's lowest broadband prices are available to homes located within its own broadband network area, which currently covers around 60% of UK homes.
Orange pay monthly SIM only offer
For those who'd like to keep their existing mobile phone but switch from their current network operator, Orange offers a pay monthly SIM-only option. SIM-only price plans range in cost from £10 to £35 per month and offer inclusive calling minutes and texting allowances based on selected Dolphin, Racoon, Canary and Panther price plans. Orange's pay monthly SIMs offer good flexibility, only committing customers for one month at a time.
More about Orange

In the UK, Orange has around 16 million active mobile customers and over 1 million customers for its broadband services.
