NTL joins with Orange for new mobile phone service
Leading broadband communications company, NTL has teamed up with mobile phone company Orange for the launch of a new mobile phone service.
The new mobile phone service aims to compliment NTL Home’s existing portfolio of fixed line telephony, digital interactive TV, dial-up Internet and broadband internet services.
The service has also been tailor-made to be of greater value and benefit to NTL Home customers; for example calls from NTL fixed line services to NTL mobile phones will be up to 30 per cent cheaper than calls to other mobile networks.
The three Orange-branded handsets cost from £19.99, and customers will be able to purchase up to four phones on one account.
At £9.99 the monthly line rental is one of the lowest currently available in the UK and positions the service as an affordable alternative to pre-paid options. Call charges eliminate the usual complicated peak/off peak and sliding price structure usually associated with mobile services, and at 10p per minute at anytime (except to other mobile networks) the new mobile service provides a simple and straightforward tariff.
Welcoming the new partnership Ian Jeffers, Managing Director of NTL Home in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, said: “This is the beginning of an important and long-term alliance between NTL and Orange UK. Once again, NTL is leading the industry. We first launched our great value television, telephone and internet proposition in 1999, and now we are going one step further to provide the complete NTL connected home.
“This is another piece of the communications jigsaw for the home and is a real step towards making life easier, simpler and cheaper for customers by providing a “one-stop-shop” for all home communication services.”
The new NTL Home mobile phone service will be available from November 5. (MB)
