Orange is a subsidiary of EE Limited. The company provides mobile network as well as Internet services in the United Kingdom. In the UK, the company began operating in 1993 when it was launched. At one time, the company constituted FTSE 100 index before France Telecom, which is now known as Orange S.A, purchased it in 2000.
The company does not limit its telecom services to the United Kingdom only. It extends the same services to other countries in Europe and other parts of the world. The four main markets in Europe where the company operates are United Kingdom, Poland, Spain and France. The company has never been afraid to come up with some innovative services.
Orange Services
The organization has some of the most popular prepaid plans in the United Kingdom. It has divided the prepaid plans into two categories; namely, pay as you go and pay monthly. Under pay as you go, users are free to top-up their phones using swipe cards. Users can also top-up over the Internet, credit cards, debit cards and vouchers.
However, the company does not allow new customers to subscribe to the pay monthly service. Prior to being the latest acquisition by EE, the telecom company had operated 3G HSDPA, EDGE and GPRS services, which it has now merged with what is available under the T-Mobile network. DSL services are available to customers in the UK under the same brand.
