Orange UK - Now Part Of France Telecom was written by Caroline Telford from dialtosave.co.uk
Orange UK is probably one of the United Kingdom's most prominent Mobile Networks. This could be because the company focuses its attention on its home country (i.e. the United Kingdom) as opposed to being an international outsource, although gaining customers from other countries has been one of its oldest strengths over other Mobile networks in the United Kingdom. Orange was the first to feature and sell its products over the Internet through Mobile.co.uk, the United Kingdom's first official phone dealer website.
Having had the longest online presences has allowed Orange UK to achieve a long-standing business relationship with the outside world. It is for this reason that the company and its products, such as Orange mobile phones, are widely known, respected and sought by millions of people everywhere.
Still, the Orange UK has over 300 stores throughout Great Britain called "orange shops" that serve as direct channels to the public. Orange mobile phones and a plethora of other products are sold through a multitude of retailers, not just the company's own. Among them are Carphone Warehouse, Argos and Phones4U. Many other smaller independent retailers add to the fray of marketing contributions. Orange UK has gained a reputation of getting itself around without ostentatious means, and this adds to the company's charm.
Like other mobile networks, Orange UK service offers pay-as-you-go and monthly instalment contracts, the latter having 12-, 18-, and 24-month variations in contract lengths. Orange mobile phones also include Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Mobile Data Services (MDS) for extra charge. This means that Orange mobile phones have Internet capabilities, so online email and web-browsing are possible, as are image and music file uploading as well as texting.
How is this possible, you ask? Well, Orange UK offers GPRS, EDGE and 3G on a HSDPA network, integrating the largest 3G/2.5G in all of Great Britain. DSL services, too, are a part of this deal. Once operating under the name FreeServe, the service was taken over by France Telecom in 2006 and incorporated it into the overall technology, renaming it Orange. It is no wonder, then, that 99% of the UK's population has solidly been assimilated into Orange UK's service.
Orange mobile phones, then, are and everyday convenience in Great Britain and have been so for about the past fifteen years. An excess of 17 million people are now Orange customers, and that is an international tally.
Due to the advancement of technology in the mobile (cellular) industry, the sophistication of Orange mobile phones and other devices are in demand, not for the sake of necessity, but also appeal. This is an era of quick messaging and high-tech communication; everyone prefers the simple (if not expensive) way to get around, so mobile phones having enhanced capabilities, especially those allowing phone-owners to access the Internet anytime day or night, will be high priority and most desirably for everyday living. The Orange network already has that covered in the United Kingdom and online, the latter of which opens the network up to the rest of the world. Where else do they need to go?
