Orange Broadband launches iPhone bundle

Thursday, 25 February 2010

Orange Broadband (www.Orange.co.uk) customers can now get a free 32GB iPhone when they sign up to the provider’s new Home Max and mobile phone bundle.

The new tariff offers customers up to 20Mb broadband with “unlimited broadband” downloads, subject to a fair usage policy, and a free iPhone with 1,200 minutes, 500 texts and “unlimited” mobile internet and wifi - as well as free calls to your chosen Magic Numbers.

The home broadband and mobile bundle costs £60 a month and comes with the latest 32GB iPhone 3GS.

The Home Max package usually costs £6.50 a month for Orange customers, plus £10.50 line rental, while equivalent iPhone plans, offering 1,200 minutes and 500 texts cost £45 a month when taken without Orange home broadband.

Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “This bundle doesn’t save you much compared to buying the two products separately so you should compare providers to make sure that you're getting the best home broadband and iPhone deals - even if they come from separate ISPs.

“While it can be tempting to sign up to more expensive monthly tariffs in order to get a free iPhone, you should make sure that your package suits your needs, or you'll simply end up paying for your ‘free’ phone over the course of a long contract.

“However, Orange does offer very competitive deals, with free calls to Magic Numbers and its great Orange Wednesdays offers thrown in too - giving you 2 for 1 on cinema tickets and even pizzas at Pizza Express every week.”
