Reserve Tank

always stay in touch

see ways to top-up
Now you can always stay in touch, even when you've run out of credit. With Reserve Tank, we'll give you an extra £2.50 to use until you can top-up your phone.

The extra credit is yours to use however you want. You just pay it back the next time you top-up your phone.

how it works

As soon as you don't have enough credit to make a call or send a text message, you can switch on your Reserve Tank by calling 450. We'll instantly give you an extra £2.50 credit. The only difference with calls and texts using Reserve Tank is that they cost 5p more than normal per minute or message. If you have Magic Numbers, these will be charged at your Reserve Tank rates rather than Magic Number rates.

Once you top-up your phone and pay back the £2.50 credit, prices revert to the standard rates and your Magic Numbers will be back to normal..

So remember, you can now always stay in touch even when you've run out of credit.

Set up your Reserve Tank now, by texting TANK to 2002, free from your Orange phone. It's free to set up your Reserve Tank. Then call 450 free each time you want to switch it on.
