FREE £5 Calling abroad minutes on Orange

Maybe its discussed before in one or other way but here is how you can get it on Orange.

In January I got FREE £5 credit on my bill under title FREE CALLING ABROAD MINUTES (includes intl texts).

I thought its a promotion and since I was using my phone for texting abroad a lot so they added this.

Its actually good value than spending it in bits. For £5 I was able to send texts valued £6 in total and it expires in 6 months.

Today I called in 150 asked about INTL bundles and was offered £10 bundle that can be used to send intl text worth £12. I agreed to that and when it was all done I was told that my other mobile number on same account have not been used for intl text so they offered me FREE £5 Bundle to use on that phone.

So a quick enquiry call can get you a £5 bundle for your Orange Mobile. Its worth calling in 150 and getting £5 FREE bundle while they are happy giving it away. It doesnt bound you into an on going billing contract and is just a one time thing.

Hope this helps

    Called Orange with a few questions about my account this morning and at the end of the call, I was told that as I was a valued customer Orange will be crediting my account with £5 for international calls or texts:beer:

    I discussed both above, my point was everybody who have never used it can call and get to try it free first time.

    Raj,

    After reading the above post I called orange and was put thru to "your group" team. They linked both my phones which are on Panther 45 plan. They confirm this does not change the term of the contract or any other aspect as is additional feature. This is brilliant because now the boss lady can talk to me upto 60 minutes per call free subject to 3000 minutes a month fair usage free.

    this is brilliant!!!

    Orange have recently removed the 50% extra mins and replaced with free mins within anyone in the Your Group (new name for 'family'). More information is in http://www1.orange.co.uk/service_plans/paymonthly/your_group_overview.html
