Full FeedRumor: Orange to offer iPhone in UK?
Orange is one of the UK’s leading networks, along with O2—who are currently supplying iPhones to customers in the UK. A report from this morning reveals that Orange may join O2 in providing the UK with iPhones; perhaps as soon as October this year. If this were to go ahead, it would be the first country where more than one network carried the iPhone.
Electric Pig, a fairly reputable tech news website in the UK, published the claims of the website Omio who have spoken with a “very, very credible source on the inside that the iPhone 3G will be available on Orange in the UK, possibly as soon as October.“
Orange is already the selected carrier for the iPhone in France, Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Africa.
Adding an extra network carrying the iPhone in the UK could boost sales of the device, especially if Orange were to bring more competitive pricing plans than O2. It will be interesting to see what happens as Apple increases their demand for a secure market share everywhere in the world.
