Orange has taken the lead in international mobile data
by offering its customers GPRS roaming in more countries than any
other UK network.
Customers can now access data services, from email usage to
mobile internet access, while abroad with a similar level of
service as they receive in the UK and with transparent pricing.
Business executives are less likely to have sleepless nights in
foreign climes, safe in the knowledge that mobile data services are
increasingly available wherever they travel to help them stay on
top of everything happening back at the office.
To build on its coverage lead, Orange has developed a range of
mobile roaming services to help executives remain productive while
travelling by providing a consistent usage experience with that
received in the UK:
- ‘One button’ voicemail access, as in the UK
- Caller line identification so users know who’s calling, as in
the UK
- No need for UK country code prefix (+44) when dialling, as in
the UK
- Shortcode access to Orange services such as business customer
services (158), which is now free of charge to access when
abroad
Using a mobile handset abroad in exactly the same way as in the
UK requires seamless roaming. Orange has developed seamless
roaming agreements with 131 networks in 67 countries.
“Travelling executives no longer want to rely on expensive hotel
telephone and internet connections. They can use mobile technology,
be it a data card equipped laptop, a smartphone or a Blackberry.
They need a consistent service from their mobile network operator
at a fair cost, regardless of where they are travelling.” said
Shaun Orpen, marketing director, Business Solutions, Orange UK.
Orange is also offering a series of transparent roaming pricing
initiatives:
- No subscription fee or setup fee for business
- Consistent flat rate data tariffs, regardless of the network
used or country when travelling
- Per second billing on international voice calls
- Per kilobyte billing with no minimum charge
- Free calls to customer service
“We led simple pricing tariffs in voice with innovations such as
per second billing. Now we’re making it even easier for customers
with mobile data roaming per kilobyte billing. It is now easier
for companies to plan their mobile use and enable their employees
to have access to information from wherever they are,” continued
Shaun Orpen.
