The Reserve Tank (the “Benefit”) is open to Orange pay as you go customers who are over 18 years of age by invitation only. The Benefit is not available on all tariffs and you may have to move to a new tariff to use it. The benefit may, at Orange's discretion, be subject to an arrangement fee. You will be notified of the arrangement fee before you agree to take the Benefit.
The Benefit can be activated each time your balance reaches between zero and 14 pence and must be paid back by topping up before it can be activated again.
You can activate the Benefit by calling 450 from your Orange PAYG phone if you are in the UK and following the voice prompts. The Benefit is offered in place of Reserve Call functionality.
When you activate the Benefit you will have Additional Credit made available for your use (the 'Additional Credit'). You will be told how much additional credit you will be entitled to when you activate the Benefit. When this Additional Credit has been used, you will not be able to make further calls or use other services. Any Additional Credit used will be recouped when you next top-up.
Your Additional Credit can only be used to make voice calls and send text and multimedia messages to UK land-lines or UK mobile numbers. Any other calls will be excluded. You will not be able to use the Additional Credit to make calls to Magic Numbers, International calls or to call the UK whilst you are abroad.
Once the Benefit has been activated, all calls, text and multimedia messages will be charged at a rate 5p higher than your normal rates (please see table below for rates) If your top-up is credited whilst you are on a call, your normal rates will return for your next call.
Charges per minute or per message once the benefit has been activated are as follows:
Anytime fixed rates
Same rates 24/7
Fixed rates all day
