Do I have to wait for Internet Everywhere to be set up, or provisioned, like I do with fixed broadband?

What details do I need to sign up?
All you’ll need are your bank details.

Do I have to pay by Direct Debit?
No, you can choose to pay by cheque or credit card every month, subject to a fee. You can also pay by debit card, or in an Orange shop, without paying an additional fee. Orange recommend paying by direct debit as it’s more convenient and gives you better value.
Can I exchange my fixed broadband for a dongle?
You can simply choose not to renew your fixed broadband contract, and purchase Orange Internet Everywhere instead. Be aware that if you’re currently within your fixed broadband contract period charges are likely to apply if you cancel. You may also like to keep an eye out for Orange’s great offers giving you both fixed and mobile broadband, so that you can stay connected whether you’re at home or out and about.
Can I use my dongle in more than one computer?
Yes. The dongle is a plug and play device, so simply plug in the device into another laptop or PC and it will install the software, then you’re good to go.
Can I use my dongle in any laptop or desktop computer?
You can use your dongle in most PCs, laptops and Apple Macs. Each dongle may vary slightly depending upon the Operating System you use on your computer (e.g. Microsoft Windows). To ensure your PC, laptop or Mac is supported, please check the system requirements of the device.
How is Internet Everywhere different from Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that allows PCs, laptops and other devices to connect to a network, and usually the Internet. It’s useful within a building such as your home, or a cafe. Internet Everywhere uses the Orange mobile network to give you an Internet connection, which means that you can stay connected anywhere you have Orange coverage
