Transfer your number to Orange

Simply contact the network your number is currently with and request a 'PAC code', then give this to Orange customer services once you have your new phone.

About Orange

When Orange launched in April 1994, it was the fourth entrant into a crowded and colourless UK mobile phone market, littered with high-tech jargon and complicated pricing. Products were inflexible and confusing: the preserve of business users.

Orange had a radically different idea. We thought a better world would be one without barriers. We wanted to change people's attitudes by making mobile communications an intuitive part of everyday life - for everyone. Orange began building a fresh new identity and approach to how we talked to and treated our customers, and this continues to this day.

You can read Orange's Network Terms and Conditions here.

Orange Coverage

Orange covers 99% of the UK population, so you'll never be out of touch. Their new 3G network is being expanded daily, bringing you the coverage you need to keep connected. What's more, Orange are the only UK network that will credit your account with a minute of talktime in the rare event that your call drops.

If you want to see a detailed map of coverage in the parts of the country that matter to you, please use the Orange Coverage Checker here.

Upgrade your existing Orange mobile phone

If you already have an Orange "pay monthly" account and want to stay with Orange, without changing your number, we can help. All of Orange's phones are available as upgrades through Mobiles.co.uk - simply browse our range as normal, and select the "Upgrade" tariff when you've chosen your phone.

We have to do a few checks with Orange first, and then we'll contact you straight away with full details of your upgrade. The cost of your upgrade (if not free) is determined by Orange, so unfortunately we can't display the price right here on the site - but rest assured that we won't charge anything or go ahead with the connection without speaking to you first!

If you are unsure which option is best for you then feel free to call our Upgrade Team on 0870 080 4444 during office hours or fill in a few details and we'll quickly get back to you with free impartial advice and no obligation.

Money-saving Extras

Orange believe that technology doesn't matter, communication does. So whether you choose free Orange broadband, 2 for 1 cinema tickets every Wednesday or their amazing Magic Number promotion (see tab above) you can count on your new Orange phone to deliver great value for money.

Orange Magic Numbers

Orange believe there's no substitute for a good old-fashioned chat. That's why they've introduced Magic Numbers - a new way to talk longer for less.

Simply choose a Magic Number - it can be any Orange UK mobile - and you can call your Magic Number and talk for as long as you like at any time of day. So you can make unlimited calls to the people you need to stay close to, subject to a fair usage policy of 3 hours per day, per Magic Number.

After six months you can add another number to your list. And another every six months after that. Add as many as you like, it's that simple.

All you need to do is call 07973 100 150 once you have your new Orange mobile, and give them your first Magic Number. Then start chatting! Please note that Magic Numbers are only available if you have chosen an 18 month contract.

So whoever you choose, your best mate at uni, your partner, or your parents, you can stay connected and not worry about the cost.
