want to discuss your ideas or solutions with us or use our Advanced APIs? When you have a potential commercial solution, wish to benefit from one-to-one commercial advice and support, or are interested in using our Advanced APIs, you’ll need to apply to have your company listed with Orange Partner as a ‘premium member’. (You’ll need to do this even if you’re self-employed or a sole trader).
Remember, you don’t need to become a premium member to submit your mobile app to us. However, once your mobile application is selling with Orange, you need to become a premium member so that you can benefit from dedicated one-to-one partner management and build your relationship with us.
To become a premium member, you need upgrade your membership and you just need to provide us with slightly more information about yourself, your company and in what area you’d like to work with us.
To help you manage your new, upgraded account, we have created two roles associated to the account: administrator and user. |

|
We’ve made the membership form more relevant to you. And to us. Specifically, we’ve made it shorter, more appropriate to you, whether you’re interested in mobile apps & solutions, other Innovation or APIs.
These interest groups will determine what we communicate to you, so it’s important you tick the correct interest group(s) - be the first to hear news and developments in your interest area(s). And we’ve done the same with our Premium Membership form. It’ll all be very clear when you look at it.
It’s never been clearer. This is what we do. It’s in these areas that we represent Orange, and can help you develop to meet your commercial goals. And ours too of course!
It’s ‘all change’ for the website ... partly to reflect our key areas of interest, but also to highlight the areas we know you’re interested in, and to help you make use of your ‘profile’.
- new site structure and animated design: giving you what you want, quickly!
- your profile: view your membership profile and change it whenever you like from the home page
“remember, as a member, we’ll keep you updated about the lastest developments in your interest area(s)” |
|
If you want to submit non-mobile ideas and solutions, please continue doing so using the regular Submission Form – which has seen improvements too Again, we’ve done this all to tie in with your requirements, and our 3 main areas of focus.
