Mobiles phones are such a big necessity right now to public that many telecommunications company are now jumping in to join a bandwagon of network providers which offer an entire variety of services the mass public can generally choose from. Take for example, orange mobile, the fourth largest telecommunications company in the United Kingdom (preceded by Vodafone, T-Mobile and O2). They first went to business in 1991 under Hutchison Telecom but then was fully acquired in 2001 by Telecom France.

Did you know that the color "Orange" as it names suggests, bright and sunny as it is, is associated to "organization" and "concentration" based from Feng Shui? The company offers the consumers a variety of orange mobile phones to choose from should one decide to be a subscriber of the network. From the Nokia, to Samsung to Sony Ericsson and the likes, you name it, Orange Mobile probably has it.

Its services are not only based in the United Kingdom but extend to almost half of the entire globe. They've got coverage in most European countries such as France, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Spain and Slovakia. Their service also reaches some countries in the African continent including Egypt, Jordan, Madagascar, Cameroon and Botswana. They have coverage even in the Middle East.

If you are a fan of style mixed with functionality, then join the thousands of other users of the Samsung G600. Based on Orange UK's website, the top-sellers for orange phones based on consumers preference would be the Samsung G600, Nokia 6500 and the Sony Ericsson W910i (Walkman phone). Data was gathered at the start of the 2008 sales year.

For flexibility, Orange has 2 mobile plans to choose from. In the pay by monthly plan, subscribers are given the option to choose how many months they want to pay for their units. They offer 12, 18 and 24 months as lockdown payment period for their consumers. The other one is what they call the "pay as you go" plan. Subscribers can add text and call credits to their account either by using a debit card or a credit card; or they may also use an Orange charge card that they have purchased from any Orange mobile dealers.

Like to personalize your phone? Orange has its own web portal named as the Orange shop where subscribers can go to and browse for themes, ring tones, wallpapers etc. and have those downloaded straight to their handsets. Consumers absolutely loved it; definitely an Orange advantage.
