Orange are making special cheap deals for students with mobile broadband provider Orange!
Students signing up for a new bank account at Barclays will be able to kit themselves up with broadband in good time for the start of the next academic year. The bank has announced, from today, eligible customers will be able to receive a 25 per cent discount on Orange mobile broadband.
As part of the deal new student customers will receive a free mobile broadband dongle as well as acccess to telephone banking and a contactless Visa debit card.
Speaking on the incentive, Barclay’s head of current accounts, Andrew Harris, said: “We recognise the financial challenges students have and that’s why we have looked to provide them with a relevant package to support them through student life.”
BT Ireland and Vodafone have signed a deal that will see mobile broadband and voice customers in Ireland transfered to Vodafone.
T has put a limit on the number of new connections that can be made through Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U for the rest of the year according to reports from press source Telecom Paper.
Showing just how influential a high street sales pitch is it has been reported staff in Phones 4U stores across the country have been told to switch sales focus away from the mobile and mobile broadband provider as staff have exceeded T-Mobile targets. A similar story is suggested for sales in Carphone stores.
This news comes as T-Mobile’s UK managing director Richard Moat (pictured aboved) announced he would be focusing on company acquisition costs in an attempt to level out the finances of the UK business.
This week a report was published in the London Financial Times suggesting following poor quarterly results from its parent company Deutsche Telekom. Rumours have also been flying for some 3 eyeing the business.
Is it just a coincidence Vodafone has only just begun selling contracts in 820 Carphone Warehouse stores across the UK? This reunion deal marked the end of a three year separation between the two companies. To celebrate the return of Vodafone free laptops were being offered out to mobile broadband customers by Carphone if they agreed to a two-year term.
