Orange has announced updates to its business phone tariffs, adding extra minutes and discounts to the different plans, each of which is designed to meet the requirements of specific business segments.

The carrier last year unveiled business plans aimed at three segments – Orange Solo for the self-employed, Orange Venture for small business, and Orange Venture for larger companies.

Each segment has been updated with different additions, reflecting the fact that different businesses have varied needs for communications services, according to Orange.

The Orange Venture plan for larger companies now offers unlimited Orange-to-Orange calls as standard on contracts longer than 18 months, plus 20 per cent extra minutes on 24 and 36 month contracts.

Customers on a 36 month contract now get a 20 per cent line rental discount, while those with over 18 months get calls to the UK and 28 other countries from their inclusive minutes. Prices for this plan start at £155 per month for 2,500 minutes.
