Orange refreshes its mobile broadband price plans and introduces new mobile WiFi device

• New Small, Medium and Large mobile broadband plans introduced so customers can match their internet usage to a plan that’s right for them
• Existing Orange pay monthly, pay as you go and home broadband customers continue to be rewarded with a £5 monthly discount on all new mobile broadband price plans
• New Orange E5830C Mobile WiFi device also to be launched in the coming weeks

Orange today refreshed its mobile broadband price packages with the launch of three new mobile broadband plans created to reflect the amount people browse the internet on a daily basis. The new Small, Medium and Large plans have been designed to give customers a range of options to allow them to choose the right plan for their needs.

Whether a customer goes online every now and then, stream videos or uses Facebook for hours every day, the new Small, Medium and Large plans are based on average daily use over one month, making them more clearly aligned to what is actually used. Customers who take out the Medium and Large plans get the added advantage of inclusive WiFi access, allowing them to benefit from access to over 200,000 BT hotspots across the UK.

What’s more, all Orange customers, whether on pay monthly, pay as you go or on Orange home broadband – will receive a £5 monthly discount on the new plans, giving them the flexibility to surf, email and post updates wherever they are.

Orange also announced today that it will be introducing the Orange E5830C Mobile WiFi device to its existing range of mobile broadband products. The palm-sized wireless receiver features a mobile broadband signal indicator to show users what level of signal is being received, allowing them to position the device in the place with the strongest Orange signal. It has been designed for users on the go and connects easily with up to five WiFi enabled gadgets, with no installation software needed and nothing to plug in to the user’s laptop.

The Orange E5830C Mobile WiFi device will be launched on Orange in the coming weeks and prices will range from £20 to £60 depending on the mobile broadband plan purchased.
