Most mobile phone companies offer a range of handsets that come with their own unique deals and technological updates. Orange provides the usual pay as you go or monthly contract choices and can supply you with everything from a basic handset to the latest in multimedia entertainment.
If you need wireless connectivity between your phone and other devices, there’s an Orange Bluetooth-capable phone to suit your needs. Or you could move up to the latest 3G technology, which has been described as broadband for your phone. This sends information, news and sports directly to your phone up to 7 times faster than normal.
3G also lets you see who’s on the other end of the line with video calling, lets you check your email or browse the internet from anywhere you like. There’s no need to wait until you get in front of a PC. You get access to 24-hour news, weather and travel information. You need a 3G compatible phone to receive this service, which is available for monthly or pay as you go customers alike.
Another of Orange’s services is Orange World, featuring a Music Player that lets you download songs from your favourite artists. For this you need to be on a monthly contract and have the right type of handset. There’s also a charge each time you download.
An additional feature is the Fireplayer, which allows you to remix tracks on the phone itself. Band Tracker gives you background information and news about bands, and there’s also a page that sends showbiz glamour and gossip so you don’t miss out on any important developments among your favourite celebrities. You can create quick links to your most used Orange World pages as well.
Orange also offer the pay as you go SIM card, which means you can purchase call and text time from the network of your choice. These are similar to the phone cards you used to buy when you went abroad, in the days before mobile phones!
You can purchase phones with an answer phone facility, video messaging, text messaging and with a built-in camera for quick snaps. Many phones include an address book, calendar and diary so your important information doesn’t need to be kept in a separate booklet.
Orange top-ups are available in most shops and cash machines. Their range of accessories includes headsets for hands free operation, cases to protect your phone from accidental damage, in-car chargers and memory cards for storing your songs, pictures or videos. You can use your Orange phone in up to 159 countries across the world.
