Orange certainly has a very busy home page with plenty going on. But that can deter you from finding the mobile phone deals you want if you aren’t too careful. That’s why we are going to steer you through it, so you can get to where you want to be and find out what they have to offer if you want to buy a new phone.
Shall we get started?
How do I find the website?
The website is available to view at www.orange.co.uk.
What sections are available on the site?
Take a look at the left side of the site to begin with. If you look here you should see the Orange shop indicated between two orange bars. In here you will find links to both the Pay As You Go phones and the Pay Monthly options as well.
Elsewhere you can access your Orange account on the right if you already have one, and top up your phone at the top of the site if you are already on a Pay As You Go plan.
Does it have plenty of contracts on offer?
They have a wide range of eighteen, twenty four and thirty six month plans available. Depending on which plan you go for these come with a variety of bonus features such as free minutes for making phone calls and free texts as well.
They are also very helpfully categorised according to what type of benefits they give you. So for example they have ones that are indicated as the best ones to buy if you like to text more than make phone calls.
They also offer Pay As You Go plans, and again these are categorised depending on what services you would get the most out of.
What networks are they geared up for?
Seeing as you are on the Orange website, it makes sense that you are only going to be offered the Orange network to use your phone on. Just make sure you are happy with this – although they do offer plenty of perks!
Are there a lot of different mobile phones on offer? Do they provide a lot of information about each one?
Yes there are plenty of phones here and they provide a handy and very usable search facility to help you narrow down all the ones they have as well. For instance if you want to go for a particular brand – such as BlackBerry, Nokia or Samsung for example – you can select just that brand and search for everything they have.
The same thing applies if you want to have a particular feature on your phone. Just select it from the list and then search. You can select more than one feature too just by clicking more boxes. All the phones below will start disappearing so you are left with the best ones.
The Pay Monthly price is provided underneath a picture of the phone, and while you have a few perks listed in the box you should go through to the product page itself to find out all there is to know about it.
This brings up a box with some great images in it. You might initially think that is all there is to it, but you would be wrong. Instead you will be able to see a link right at the bottom which asks you to click on it to find out more. You then get a nice sized page with all the info on it. Even the specifications aren’t overwhelming – they simply give you the details without going over the top.
How easy is it to order a new mobile phone online?
Once you have spotted just what you need, select that phone and you will be prompted to pick the right plan from the ones that are available. You should click the link to see those plans, and you just need to select the right one.
That same pop up window will then reappear to tell you that you have added a phone and a plan. There is a checkout button at the bottom, and if you click on that you will be able to complete your order and get the phone and the tariff you have asked for.
In conclusion
Orange is a good place to go no matter what kind of handset you are dreaming of owning. You might be after something nice and simple, or it could be the latest and best handset on the market.
But whatever it is you can count on Orange to have it for you.
