LONDON, September 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Orange Launches Mobile Broadband and Laptop Deal

- Three New Business Packages Launched to Serve Small and Medium
Businesses

- Orange Teams up With Hewlett Packard

Orange today launches its new mobile broadband and laptop offer targeted
specifically at the business market. Small and medium business customers can
now sign up to a new Orange Business Everywhere mobile broadband package and
come away with a laptop as well.

The three new Business Everywhere with Laptop bundles each
include an unlimited data allowance and a whopping 500 WiFi minutes per
month, which can be used at over 10,000 UK hotspots*. On top of this,
customers will receive a business-spec HP laptop with Microsoft Windows Vista
Business. Depending on the package chosen, the laptop will come either
embedded with an Orange SIM or with an Option ICON 225 USB dongle, meaning
customers can get online instantly without the need for a fixed line internet
connection. The new packages range from GBP35 - GBP45 per month for a 24 month
contract, with the price varying according to the choice of laptop.

Paul Tollet, Vice President Business, Orange UK said: "In the
current economic climate, businesses are demanding the capability to work
flexibly at a reasonable price. Our Business Everywhere with Laptop gives
customers all the tools they need to do their jobs in the way that they want
- a business grade HP laptop, unlimited UK data access and inclusive WiFi
minutes. Businesses can literally be up and running the moment they open the
box. This is another fantastic example of Orange listening to its customers
and providing solutions to meet their needs."

Following the announcement of its consumer offer in July, Orange is
working with HP, one of the world's leading laptop manufacturers, for its
first connected business laptop offering.

Paul Tollet continued, "Laptops are a natural extension to our existing
product portfolio. We now offer our customers a totally flexible approach to
business. Whether they want to manage their mobile working with a simple,
affordable SIM only tariff, want email on their phone, or need total business
laptop functionality, Orange can deliver it. Our Business Everywhere with
Laptop offer is part of our commitment to evolving the communications market
by offering new ways for customers to connect with the people and things that
matter most to them."

David Wright, Vice President and General Manager for HP's UK&I Personal
Systems Group, added: "With the largest integrated mobile data network in the
UK, Orange provides a great platform for HP laptops to be used to their full
potential, providing true anytime/anywhere business functionality to users."

Business Everywhere with Laptop is available direct from
Orange through the Online Shop, telesales and the business sales team.
