Using mobile broadband
  • How do I install my Orange dongle?

    Please see the user guide that comes in the box for instructions on installing the dongle. You can also view the user guides here. hide

  • Can I use my phone's SIM in my dongle?

    No. You dongle's SIM is set up differently in our network to ensure you receive the best possible mobile broadband speed. hide

  • Can I exchange my fixed broadband for a dongle?

    You can simply choose not to renew your fixed broadband contract, and purchase Orange mobile broadband instead. Be aware that if you're currently within your fixed broadband contract period, charges are likely to apply if you cancel. You may also like to keep an eye out for our great offers giving you both fixed and mobile broadband, so that you can stay connected whether you're at home or out and about. hide

  • How can I monitor my mobile broadband usage?

    Our mobile broadband connection manager has a number of options for monitoring your usage. You can download the latest version for use with any of our dongles by clicking here.

    By clicking the "Usage" button you will be shown a summary of the amount of data that you've transferred. This will help you know when you have used up your monthly inclusive allowance of data, and when you will be charged at the out-of-bundle rate. You can reset this summary data whenever you like, but we suggest you do so on your bill date.

    By clicking the "Usage" button, and then choosing the "Usage limits" tab, you'll be able to configure alerts that will warn you about the amount of data you are transferring. We suggest that you set up a usage limit equal to your monthly inclusive allowance, so that you will know when you are about to be charged at the out-of-bundle rate. hide
