United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, Orange is a leading provider of mobile, broadband, fixed, business and entertainment services. It has close to 17 million mobile and broadband customers and is the leading provider for the UK National Health Service and Police.

In June 2006, Orange became the single brand for mobile and broadband. It also launched “Unique” - the UK's first truly integrated and seamless single phone proposition, giving customers free calls to landlines and Orange mobiles.

Orange has the broadest integrated 2G/3G network in the UK covering over 99% of the population. In 2006 it launched the UK’s first live high speed EDGE network to complement its existing 3G network. In 2007, it launched the Orange 3G+ (HSDPA) network offering even faster speeds and better quality to its customers.
