They’re offering her 600 minutes (I imagine cross-network) along with unlimited text messaging for £30 a month. And, I suspect, [...]

You can now get yourself a 35-quid-a-month free laptop from Orange. Although, as we saw earlier, because of their ridiculous .co.uk website design, you’ll need to arse about clicking on their website and be very, very lucky to hit the relevant pages first-time.
