Tariff Information
Orange offer a range of Pay As You Go tariffs with differing benefits. Some tariffs include benefits that are automatically applied, while others are based on a minimum monthly top-up. As with other Orange tariffs, Pay As You Go plans are separated into different categories represented by animals.
The ‘Monkey’ tariff is aimed at music lovers and provides access to free music through Orange’s online music player. To qualify for free music, customers must top-up a minimum of £5 per month. A £5 top up also rewards users with 25 free texts and a small daily internet allowance. Larger top-ups provide more text messages, ranging from £5 for 25 to £30 for 1000.
The ‘Dolphin’ tariff offers users free texts and internet when they top-up over £10 in a month. Topping up £10 earns 400 free texts, £20 earns 600 texts, and £30 earns users unlimited texts. All customers who top up over £10 in a month receive 100 MB of mobile internet use.
The ‘Canary’ tariff offers free evening and weekend minutes and texts to customers who top-up over £10 per month. £10 top-ups are rewarded with 100 free minutes and 100 free texts or photo messages, £20 top-ups earn 200 free minutes and 200 free texts or photo messages and £30 top ups earn 300 free minutes and 300 free texts or photo messages. All minutes and messages must be used on weekends or between 7pm and 7am on weekdays.
The ‘Racoon’ plan doesn’t offer any special benefits for topping up minimum amounts each month, but instead offers Orange’s lowest standard call rate of 12p per minute. Raccoon plans lack some of the added benefits of other Orange Pay As You Go plans, such as Magic Numbers or Reserve Tank.
Finally, the ‘Camel’ tariff is aimed at people who frequently make international calls. This tariff includes low international rates and free international calling minutes for all users who top up over £10 per month. A £10 top up is rewarded with 60 international minutes, a £20 top-up is rewarded with 120 international minutes and a £30 top-up is rewarded with 240 international minutes. Note that only selected countries are included in these offers. -
