Europe
: Orange today confirmed its position as the UK’s most popular
mobile operator, with more customers than any other network in the
country and the first to pass through the 14 million customer barrier.
Bernard
Ghillebaert ( inset above) , Executive Vice President
of Orange UK said: “Orange has the highest number of Pay as
you Go customers in the UK. It’s been a competitive period,
but we’ve remained productive and focused, delivering on great
new innovation such as our new high speed (3G) services.”
In the year of
Orange’s tenth anniversary, growth has been accelerating recently
with the introduction of free evening calls for life and 3p text offers.
Orange has the
most stringent definition of its customer base of all UK operators,
ensuring that a customer is only counted as active if they have used
their Orange phone in the last three months.
