Talk:Orange UK

message: I can see no reason why they shouldn't be merged. Both articles refer to exactly the same company. Orange UK is simply the more up-to-date name. - Mad King Soup 13:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: An inconsistency - in one sentence it is said that Orange UK is a subsidiary of France Télécom S.A., and in the next it is said that "in 1999 the company was sold to Mannesmann AG". Not only is this inconsistent, it is not true; as far as I know, Mannesmann AG was taken over by Vodafone in the late 90's. Dmccormac 20:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: For nealry a decade now, the slogan is "The future's bright..." Everyone knows the final part of the slogan, so they removed it as to demonstrate how powerful the brand had become.
No idea how to change it one the page might be worth updating :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.36.79.207 (talk) 12:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a little bit to the relevant section. I must admit that I couldn't even remember "I am who I am because of everyone" without thinking about it. Personally I think it's a dreadful slogan compared to the classic "bright" one, but then I'm not an ad person! 86.132.139.119 (talk) 12:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Slogan 

message: The article's title is currently "Orange U.K.". However the text of the article is "Orange UK". Is this because Wikipedia's convention contradicts the company? Axl ¤ [Talk] 20:37, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title 

message: The item about Orange building sites in the Occupied territories strikes me as spurious. A network branded as Orange in Israel( as far as I know they were neither part of Orange UK, nor the later Orange Group, formerly FT.) is a licensed use of the brand, the licensing company being Partner Communications Company Ltd . Given that none of this particular article has anything to do with Orange globally, or about the global brand and is all about Orange UK, I don't see any point to this particular clause being in the article. At best it's mischief making.  Theunfamousfly (talk) 21:25, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Operation in India 

message: I believe the description of the Mannesmann AG acquisition of Orange in Acquisition of Orange and part of France Télécom: 1999–2009 section is incorrect. This article has a good description of what happenedhttp://www.euromoney.com/Article/1007961/Vodafone-andMannesmann-The-bid-that-couldnt-fail.html. It seems Vodafone wanted to merge with Mannesmann but Mannesmann saw on opportunity to enter the UK mobile market when Hutchison Whampoa was selling Orange to become the non-incumbent 3G operator, 3 Mobile, ending the now superfluous talks with Vodafone. This upset Vodafone, after negotiations with Mannesmann broke down due to fears that the British company would not respect the German trade union-based industrial culture despite reassurances from Vodafone, Vodafone started a hostile takeoverhttp://www.eurofound.europa.eu/observatories/eurwork/articles/vodafones-hostile-takeover-bid-for-mannesmann-highlights-debate-on-the-german-capitalist-model. The issue of Vodafone owning to mobile operators was addressed by Vodafone promising to sell Orange as soon as the acquisition was complete. Derekjc (talk) 11:19, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I think the 19th citation, '19^"EE Home Broadband – Frequently Asked Questions". T-Mobile. Retrieved 13 February 2013.', isn't working, since when I click on it takes me to https://www.telekom.com/en, and the reference is linked to go to http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/ee/home-broadband/ instead of any sort of FAQ page.
