I have been using the Orange Pay as You Go network for some time now. While browsing in the Orange shop I came across a package that seemed just to good to be true. The package was called the ‘Orange Out here’ package. As me curious to know everything I approached the desk and as expected treated with respect and approached with manor.

The package costs £14.99, which I thought was brilliant value for money and a must for all text’a’holics’. The package was great because it would have paid for itself in less than 1 month!

The Orange Out Here Package comes in a little box like the one you receive when buying your mobile phone. The box has various pictures on the front.

Contents!

The box contains a card, which you will use to register to receive the £5 talktime, which is included in the £14.99. You register the card and that will automatically give you 5 FREE text messages per day. (I’m sure I receive 10 FREE but the Orange website says 5). In the box you will also receive a cheap little swimming bag with a massive Orange logo on the back. In the pack you also receive 2 30 seconds emergency call time or 1 60-minute emergency phone call. (Worth up to 50p).

How long will the Out Here last?

The Orange Out Here will last as long as your sim card. If you ever damage your sim card so that it will not work the Orange Out Here will also be finished. If you keep your sim card in your phone safe the offer will last forever.

What Phones can I use this package on?

You can register this package to any Orange Pay As You Go mobile phone. This offer is only for Pay As You Go, NOT MONTHLY PACKAGES! .

Where Are The Catches?

Well there is not catches but some points which needing pointing out which Orange are not so clear on such as….

· You need at least 1p’s credit on your account to receive the Free MESSAGES PER day.
· The Free messages do not roll over.


How Do I Register The Package?

You receive instructions on the box but there not too long.

1. Phone 450 from your Orange Phone
2. Follow the step by step instructions
3. Enter the number you receive in the box by using the phone keypad.
4. You will here a message to say that the number is successful.
Put the phone down!

And that’s that your Out Here package all sorted!


Where do I buy This Package?

You can buy this phone in your local high street Orange shop. The packages are usally always in stock and very handy.

Don’t leave it till its to late buy a package now! You never no the car might break down or you could be stranded ashore you never what’s ahead!

Value For Money….

The Out Here Package is brilliant for anyone to use what ever your age. Its especially ideal for Children and young adualts who use the text messaging service on a regular basis.

Ahhhh...I'm so fed up with my BT Cellnet and One 2 One phones, I desperately need a change! It seems as though this may well be the option to choose, thanks for the info, it sounds great :)
