Conor Maples has led the Everything Everywhere charge into social media and done a phenomenal job of it. He’s got another role now — focusing only on social media (rather than a mix of PR/social) so he’s saying goodbye to his @conorfromorange account: Dearest Twitter, the time has come for me to say goodbye to [...]

Orange: Free XBOX 360 when you buy a Nokia Lumia 800
Have you been hearing about this deal from Orange? It’s been capturing the imaginations of quite a few normob (“normal mobile user”) friends and family. I’ve overheard people discussing it multiple times a day so — anecdotally at least — it’s certainly gathering a lot of attention. Here’s the offer: If you upgrade to the [...]
Great feedback on Orange’s Pocket Landline service
A little while ago I picked up some news from Orange about their new Pocket Landline service. It enables anyone to add a landline number to their account that will then redirect (at no additional charge) to your phone number. Great if you want to look local but you don’t want the hassle of managing [...]
Get a landline redirect with Orange Pocket Landline for £10/month
I just came across this service from the team at Orange Business called Pocket Landline. It does what it says on the tin. For a tenner a month, you pick a local landline number that’s redirected to your Orange Business mobile number. Job done. That’s it. It’s a really good concept — aimed at businesses [...]
3:10 to Yuma — today’s FilmToGo movie
Just a quick reminder to the Orange customers reading — you can download the 3:10 to Yuma movie courtesy of your operator today. You’ll need to be quick as midnight is approaching. It’ll only cost you 35p. I quite enjoyed this one when it came out last year I think so I’ve downloaded it again [...]
Everything Everywhere removes 22 senior executives — good news, I think
Mobile News is reporting that 22 senior executives are to go at Everything Everywhere. I think this is good news — anything that will help the company move faster and quicker, without too many things being ‘stuck in committee’ can only be positive: Everything Everywhere CEO Olaf Swantee continues restructure policy axing 22 senior positions [...]
It’s Thursday, so it’s time for your free Orange film: The Losers
It’s FilmToGo Thursday. Or Orange Thursday. Or Orange FilmToGo Day! This week’s film is The Losers which, I have to say, looks like good old fashioned suspend-your-disbelief Michael Bay-style action. Plus it features that dude from The Wire, Idris Elba. Anything with him is bound to be worth a look. I forgot my Orange iPhone [...]
Everything Everywhere: An open letter to Olaf Swantee — from a senior executive
I was contacted recently by a senior executive at Everything Everywhere in the wake of the announcement of Tom Alexander stepping down. The executive detailed mounting frustration from across the business at the lack of progress under Tom’s leadership — and some dismay that the new chap taking over from Tom, Olaf Swantee, doesn’t quite [...]
Orange Thursdays FilmToGo App Experience: Completely seamless
Today was my first proper go at experiencing Orange Thursdays, the new service from Orange. I’m on record as saying that this is one of the smartest moves from an operator in quite some time. Indeed, it’s a brilliant addition to the company’s hugely popular Orange Wednesdays 2-for-1 cinema ticket deal valid across the UK. [...]
Orange Thursdays Film To Go: Have you downloaded today’s movie?
Somebody somewhere at Everything Everywhere needs a big, big pat on the back. The deal that Orange has done with Apple to give away free movie rentals every Thursday (full info) will have cost the company money, no doubt. However it appears to be paying huge dividends. Everybody who subscribes to the iTunes newsletter — [...]
Orange Film To Go: Free iTunes movies on Thursday – genius move
It’s not often that I feel ready to pronounce good news in the mobile industry, especially when it comes to mobile operators. For the most part, mobile operators collectively have their heads in the sand. Frankly, it’s been utterly depressing to watch. Oh, I know you’re not all bad. Collectively, you’re utter shit. Individually, though [...]
361 degrees podcast – Episode 7: Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be
Listen! This week we reminisce about the devices we’ve owned and loved over the years. We highlight a few we think were real ‘market changers’, a few lemons and speculate about who might make the next game-changer. Rafe also lets slip the secret of his magic drawers. Amongst the devices we discuss this week are [...]
