Orange recognises that for an increasing number of businesses, working patterns are changing and there is a need for more flexibility in when and where they work. Today sees the launch of a new range of business mobile broadband plans, where customers can choose a mobile broadband package that suits the way their businesses work – all through the UK’s biggest 3G network, which covers more people than any other.

The new plans will give business users greater flexibility with unlimited* data when they need it most, as well as peace of mind from knowing exactly what they’ll pay each month.
Business Everywhere 5 to 9 gives unlimited data for customers who want to work from 5pm to 9am only. It’s perfect for start-ups and entrepreneurs who might have day jobs but need mobile broadband access outside regular office hours. It’s also pretty handy for employees with long journeys to work, enabling them to make the most of their commuting time and get a better life / work balance. Customers don’t need to worry about watching the clock the whole time, as Orange is including an additional 1GB usage allowance per month to dip into in case customers need to send that extra email¹.

“We know that traditional working hours are changing and we want our mobile broadband offering to reflect the working lives of our customers. So, with Business Everywhere they’ll be able to choose the plan that offers them the best value based on when they want to use their mobile broadband.” said Martin Lyne, Director for small and medium business at Orange UK.

Orange’s refreshed Business Everywhere portfolio offers customers four contract options:

* Business Everywhere 5 to 9, offering unlimited data to customers who want access between 5pm to 9am every weekday (plus weekend) for £10 per month².
* Business Everywhere 9 to 5, offering unlimited data to customers who want access between 9am to 5pm every weekday for £10 per month².
