We all like to change our mobile phones every now and then to keep up with the latest designs and trends. The more often we do this the more likely it is that we will have a phone that is current and has many up to date uses and features.
But buying that phone can be an expensive task if you happen to be on a Pay As You Go plan. This means that instead of paying a monthly fee and getting a free mobile phone included in it as a perk, you have to buy the phone yourself and then load on however much credit you want to put on it.
This is why the new idea from Orange is a very good one. Instead of paying the whole price of your new phone you can start saving towards it with their help. It works very simply indeed – when you top up you choose the amount you want to top up by and they will add a specific amount to what they call your Phone Fund. This fund is dedicated to you; it isn’t shared with other people, so whatever you put in it is yours to contribute towards a new phone whenever you want to buy one.
On their website they say that a £5 top up means 50p goes towards your phone. You still get the full top up amount, but they contribute the amount into your Phone Fund.
So you can see that this is a great way to carry on using your existing phone on a Pay As You Go plan and still get some benefit when you come to swap it for another phone. You can either use the amount that is saved to cut down the price of the new phone you would have got anyway, or get one that is more expensive for the same money you were going to pay out before.
Whichever way you decide to do it, it is good to know Orange are doing something positive for Pay As You Go customers. This gives you the opportunity to make your new phone that bit cheaper to pay for. You will have to get your new phone from Orange of course, but you can do it online or go to an actual Orange store.
Whichever method you choose, you can look forward to taking advantage of this deal.
