Orange UK now lets you top up with just 10p

OrangeOrange UK has launched a new ‘pay as you go’ option called Tiny Top Ups. It allows customers to top-up their phones with as little as 10p, which will allow them to send a single text message. Customers can take advantage of Tiny Top Ups by visiting an Orange store and adding cash to their mobile phone account.

To celebrate the launch, Orange will double any Tiny Top Ups made in Orange retail stores during March. There’s also currently a Twitter-based competition for followers of @ConorfromOrange.

Pippa Dunn, VP of Propositions for Orange, said “Tiny Top Ups make it easier for Orange Pay As You Go customers to top up using their loose change. It’s a big change to your small change; and with many people managing their personal finances more closely than ever, Tiny Top Ups will help people who are watching their pennies to stay in touch.”

The company says almost a quarter (23%) of Brits usually wait for pay day before they top up their mobile phones.

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
