Orange was set up in 1994 by Hutchison Telecoms . In 2001 the company was acquired over by France Telecoms , and combined with its existing mobile operations. As well as its worldwide mobile network, Orange is the largest net service supplier in Europe, with over 10,000,000 shoppers in England, France, Poland, and Switzerland. Orange broadband operated in Britain using the nom-de-plume Wanadoo until 2006.
Since that time, Orange has changed into one of the largest suppliers offering mobile, broadband and home telephone services. Orange's home telephone packages are bundled up with Orange broadband.
This suggests that your line rental, call charges and broadband service will be combined in one monthly bill.

The features you already have, like caller ID, will stay the same, and you can also have precisely the same access to the operator and to emergency numbers.
