Orange & 3 Acceptable Proofs of ID - Click here for O2 & Vodafone
As part of the procedure for connecting a mobile phone, we require proofs of your identification to be faxed over to us. Only certain items are acceptable and delays are inevitable if Orange or 3 are unhappy with any particular document. (Proofs are not required for Just Talk connections)
UPDATE: If you are paying for your new phone with your own personal credit/debit card and you require delivery to your home address then Orange do not require any proofs of ID to be forwarded. This is by far the easiest and quickest way to order an Orange mobile phone.
Otherwise, Orange and 3 require one proof of address and one proof of signature before your phone can be dispatched. Customers must also be over 18 years of age unless purchasing Just Talk.
