The Orange Shop

-----------------------------------Orang​e History---------------------------------​-- Believe it or not, Orange only started up in the UK as a small business in 1994. The idea was simple, to help people communicate all over the world at affordable prices. The company obviously hit the spot as it soon became the fastest growing mobile network until March 2001.
