Orange reveals that it is enriching its popular Pay As You Go (PAYG) animal plans by offering even better value top-up rewards for its diverse customer base.

Monkey
Monkey is still the plan tailored to young music lovers. Now though, for the first time, Monkey customers will be rewarded for topping up by as little as £5 a month. As well as access to thousands of free music tracks either online or via their mobile phone, Monkey customers will now be given free texts and a daily internet pass** when they top up by £5.

Canary
Canary is still perfect for people who love to chat, with its free evening and weekend calls. However, now Canary comes with additional free evening and weekend texts and photo messages.

Specifically, when topping up £10 per month, Canary customers will now receive 100 free evening and weekend texts or photo messages – as well as the existing 100 free evening and weekend calls as part of their rewards package.

Racoon
Designed for people who like to keep things simple, the Racoon package has been updated to offer Orange’s lowest flat rate deal at just 12p per minute – no matter how much you top up.

Camel
Now, Camel PAYG customers will receive free international minutes just for topping up – ideal for people who make a lot of international calls such as those with families or friends abroad. Customers will now receive up to 240 international minutes to over 50 countries for free if they top up by £30. In addition, due to the popular demand for international minutes, there is now a Camel plan available for Pay Monthly customers.*

Additional value from the Extras
In addition to these new and improved top-up rewards, Orange recently launched a monthly bundle designed to allow customers to get even better value from their plans. For just £5 of credit per month, Monkey and Dolphin PAYG customers can purchase an Unlimited Text Extra bundle to message friends and family in the UK.

Pippa Dunn, Vice President of Orange Propositions said: “We have enhanced our Pay As You Go animal packages to ensure we meet our customers’ changing needs and continuously provide good value. We are committed to offering customers packages that are tailored to their specific lifestyles – from music to free international calls.”
