‘Broadband & Off Peak Calls’ costs £7.50 per month and offers Orange mobile customers up to 20Mbps speeds and inclusive evening and weekend landline calls.

‘Broadband & Anytime Calls’ costs £10 per month  and offers Orange mobile customers up to 20Mbps speeds on their home broadband and inclusive anytime landline calls.

‘Simply Broadband’ is aimed at those that just want to take advantage of Orange’s up to 20Mbps wireless broadband for £10 per month.

Customers signing up for Orange’s ‘Broadband & Off Peak Calls’ or ‘Broadband & Anytime Calls’ package can also benefit from unlimited landline calls to over 30 countries for an additional £4 per month.

Orange has also introduced a new ‘Peace of Mind’ promise for straightforward set up – promising all new customers will be up and running within 10 working days, and if they’re not, they can end their contract within the month without charge.

Halcrow has claimed that its imminent launch of Vodafone One, the operator’s unified communications service, will save the company an estimated £1 million over the next five years in communications costs.

Vodafone One brings fixed, mobile and PC based communications together so employees are contactable via one number on their mobile, fixed phone or PC. Halcrow, which is headquartered in the UK with over 7,000 employees across 80 offices, said this would revolutionise collaborative working for all it’s UK employees.

Halcrow said that Vodafone One’s PC features such as desktop conferencing, instant messaging and presence will integrate with video conferencing facilities to allow it to promote faster and more efficient team working.

Halcrow group IT director Chris Farmer said: “Vodafone One will support our adoption of a global delivery model and fundamentally improve the way we work, which will ultimately help us design and deliver better solutions for our customers. It will enhance our competitive advantage, as well as our agility to be more responsive to customer demands and new business opportunities

I think vodafone are offering the best deals at the minute on the new iphone 3GS you can pre-order for delivery on 15th January and they are offering unlimited texts where as O2 are only 500

Vodafone’s magnanimous gesture in waiving roaming charges over the summer amounted to a nifty bit of misdirection – few noticed that it also slipped out some radical changes to the price of data for the traveller who can’t be without their email.

The changes to the cost of roamed data were posted onto the company website without press release or notification. However, one keen-eyed Reg reader noticed a footnote on their bill and decided to check out the changes, only to discover the details are obscure and the company support was unable to clarify how much it will cost to use data abroad from July 1.

Zone one covers Europe and surrounding area, and will cost a fiver per 25MB for a phone, doubling to a tenner for the same amount of data downloaded to a laptop using a dongle. Zone two includes most of the rest of the world including America, and will cost three times that: £15 for a phone, £30 for a laptop. Zone three includes some of the more obscure destinations and remains at a fiver per megabyte.

The confusion arises when it comes to users who don’t touch those figures – the BlackBerry user who downloads an email on the Eurostar, or the lost walker who checks Google Mobile Maps while in Germany – with Vodafone’s support being singularly unhelpful when it comes to how much such minimal usage will cost.

Even we had trouble getting figures out of the company, whose people just wanted to talk about how great Voda is at cutting the cost of voice roaming; but we eventually established that in zone one users will pay 50p for each 100KB (or part thereof) of data while roaming, up to a total of 1MB at which point the fiver-for-25MB rate automatically kicks in. Those figures double for zone two and don’t apply to zone three.

Overall the deal seems good, and should make using data abroad less of a crapshoot for those who didn’t check tariffs before leaving, as well as putting the cost of data well below the €1-per-MB wholesale rate mandated by the EU. All of which makes Vodafone’s reticence to discuss it, even with its own support staff, all the more mysterious.

Vertu Essence was created by Wen-Sheng Hong and it comes with a toughened ceramic and titanium case plus a sapphire crystal screen that will probably last forever. Notice that cool farmed bamboo exterior granting the phone the eco-look plus the option of switching parts of the handset in the following years, as the technology evolves.
