If you live in the United Kingdom, chances are you live in one of the almost 80% of households that own a mobile phone. Mobile phone companies are really racking in the profits because of the millions of people who subscribe to their services. For one, orange mobile, as the fourth biggest service provider for mobile users in the country, follows behind T-Mobile, Vodafone, and O2. France Telecom is the parent company of Orange, and it has over 109 million subscribers in Europe, Africa, as well as the Middle East.

In the UK, Orange offers both broadband internet services and mobile phone services. Other countries serviced by Orange are Poland, Switzerland, France, Austria, Spain, and Slovakia.

Orange offers affordable subscription packages and the most stylish orange phones available in the market. Orange UK began in 1994, and it was acquired in 2001 as belonging to France Telecom. When asked about the choice of color of the company, sources claim that it was based on a Feng Shui principle meaning organized and concentrated. Orange serves as a symbol that sticks with the crowd, and one that is easily remembered.
