There are several companies across the UK that offer mobile broadband services, including mobile phone provider, Orange.
Like many other providers of mobile broadband, Orange also offer contracts that include a free laptop, although as is usually the case, these deals are quite expensive. In the case of Orange, mobile broadband and laptop deals start at £24.47 and include one, three or 5Gb. The contracts can cost up to as much as £39.14 a month.
However, pay monthly dongle plans can cost between £14.68 and £27.40 per month, depending on the allowance. Contracts with Orange can be for one, 12, 18 or 24months.
The one-month deal means that you are not tied down to a contract and allow the user to test the water, so-to-speak, to see if they like what Orange has to offer.
The 12month “Early Bird” contract is ideal for the regular commuter, as it includes free usage during off-peak hours, which Orange has set as being between midnight and 9am.
Orange’s “Standard” contract lasts for 18months and includes a deal that is exclusively targeted at the company’s currently active customers. This deal offers a monthly allowance of 500Mb, for just £4.89 per month.
Users wanting a fast mobile broadband connection can take up Orange’s new “Option 515m” deal. This package includes a dongle for £20 that features an antenna that will “optimise your connection signal.” The dongle also comes with an 8Gb MicroSD card absolutely free, which allows users to store and transfer their data.
