Orange has enhanced its Pay As You Go animal tariffs with better top-up rewards.

It’s now possible for Monkey customers to get rewards for just topping up £5 in a month. Camel customers can get free international calling minutes when topping up £10, while Racoon now offers a new 12p per minute call rate.

The details provided by Orange break down the changes by animal (tariff):

Monkey

Monkey is still the plan tailored to young music lovers. Now though, for the first time, Monkey customers will be rewarded for topping up by as little as £5 a month. As well as access to thousands of free music tracks either online or via their mobile phone, Monkey customers will now be given free texts and a daily internet pass** when they top up by £5.

Canary

Canary is still perfect for people who love to chat, with its free evening and weekend calls. However, now Canary comes with additional free evening and weekend texts and photo messages.

Specifically, when topping up £10 per month, Canary customers will now receive 100 free evening and weekend texts or photo messages – as well as the existing 100 free evening and weekend calls as part of their rewards package.

Racoon

Designed for people who like to keep things simple, the Racoon package has been updated to offer Orange’s lowest flat rate deal at just 12p per minute – no matter how much you top up.

Camel

Now, Camel PAYG customers will receive free international minutes just for topping up – ideal for people who make a lot of international calls such as those with families or friends abroad. Customers will now receive up to 240 international minutes to over 50 countries for free if they top up by £30. In addition, due to the popular demand for international minutes, there is now a Camel plan available for Pay Monthly customers (for a two month introductory trial).

Additional value from the Extras

In addition to these new and improved top-up rewards, Orange recently launched a monthly bundle designed to allow customers to get even better value from their plans. For just £5 of credit per month, Monkey and Dolphin PAYG customers can purchase an Unlimited Text Extra bundle to message friends and family in the UK.
