Orange Mobile Broadband
Our Orange Product RecommendationsOrange only does mobile broadband contracts, it does not have a Pay As You Go service. We like the one month rolling mobile broadband contracts for the flexibility they provide. Orange Mobile Broadband Pricing and Products AvailableCorrect as at 14 July 2010. You can choose from the basic Orange E1752 dongle or upgrade to the Orange Option 515m dongle on all Orange mobile broadband contracts.
Entry level mobile broadband contract is a one month rolling contract at £10 per month for 1GB of monthly data. There is also a £5 per month contract offering 0.5GB monthly data available exclusively to existing Orange customers, with an 18 month contract length. Further contracts are available for those requiring higher data usage, e.g. 1 month rolling contract offering 2GB of monthly data for £15 per month. Orange Mobile Broadband Returns PolicyCorrect as at 12 Apr 2010: Orange has a two week money back guarantee. Orange will cancel the contract and refund any upfront device costs if the dongle is returned within two weeks. Our View of Orange Mobile BroadbandSee Our Review and Our View Page.

Value for MoneyThe pricing for Orange Mobile Broadband is similar to that of other major providers, so value for money is good for Orange mobile broadband contracts. However, the lack of an Orange Pay As You Go mobile broadband option means it can't offer the best in value for money if you are going to be a light internet user. VOIP / Skype Policyt says in the Orange Mobile Broadband FAQ that you can make video calls over the internet using applications such as Windows Live Messenger.
