Contact lists are easily imported to the service so friends can be invited to join in the fun from any UK phone operator.
Games Zone, Orange’s new subscription based mobile gaming service, is available to download from Orange World and the Orange Shop online. For just £5 a month, customers will receive two games every month from the Orange catalogue and can keep them once their subscription has ended. A further 20% discount is offered on all other games after they use their two-game credit, as well as access to exclusive competitions. Games Zone is also available on a one month free trial to new or upgrading Pay Monthly customers as part of Orange’s new multimedia Animal tariff refresh announced today.

Designed specifically or published by Orange for iPhone customers, Orange iPhone Games allows users to enjoy even more entertainment on their mobiles from the trusted Orange brand, including off-road racing, a selection of card games such as Blackjack and Poker and Playtomo.
