    It's being replaced by a new offer Jon01?!?
    Important information about Phone Fund

    We're bringing you a new way to get a discount off your next pay as you go phone. This means Phone Fund is going to close on 30 September 2013.

    What this means for you

    • From 30 September your Phone Fund won't get any bigger after each top up.

    • If you want to check your Phone Fund balance just text PHONE to 450 for free.

    • You still have until 30 November 2013 to use your Phone Fund in an EE store. You can use it to get money off a new pay as you go phone, or off our bill if you move to pay monthly.


    Lots of great benefits

    Rest assured all the other benefits you get as part of your Orange pay as you go plan are staying the same, like Magic Numbers and 2 for 1 cinema tickets.


    Hold tight... we've got a brilliant new offer on its way

    We're putting the finishing touches to our new offer. Like Phone Fund it'll be a great way to get money off a new phone, or your bill if you move to pay monthly (and you keep your number too). Even better, you don't have to wait to build up your discount, as long as you've been with us for 3 months or more you'll get money off straight away.

    A brilliant new way to save money on the latest pay as you go phones - we'll let you know more about it soon.

    Terms and conditions

    New offer: If you've been on Orange with a PAYG phone for at least 3 months and have topped-up and spent some credit on a call or sent a text at least once in the past 3 months, you will be eligible for a discount on selected PAYG phones from our stores. The amount of discount will depend on the phone you choose and the discount will be taken off the cost of your phone at purchase. Moving to pay monthly: Subject to credit check and minimum term. You'll see the discount on your first pay monthly bill. Any promotional, free or bonus credit you've got on your PAYG account cannot be transferred. Other terms apply.
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
