Orange launches
the first fully unlimited mobile subscription in Belgium
Orange Belgium
announces the launch of the first mobile subscription with
unlimited mobile data volume in Belgium on February 12th as a first
move underlining its bold challenger positioning. As from
40€/month, on top of unlimited SMS and calls, the Orange Eagle
tariff plans will now include unlimited mobile data to allow
customers to surf carefree anytime and anywhere they want without
having to worry about their internet use anymore. Orange Belgium
surveyed over 1.100 customers and it became apparent that the great
majority of intense users would love an unlimited mobile data
bundle.
Orange Eagle and Eagle Premium
tariff plans will be fully unlimited as from February 12th. Customers
don't have to undertake any action, the mobile subscription will
automatically become fully unlimited as from February 12th. Both Eagle
and Eagle Premium monthly subscriptions will increase with 1€ as
from March 13th and
respectively cost 40 and 61€/month.
A recent survey of Orange revealed
that there's a big demand for a tariff plan that offers unlimited
mobile data as:
-
The use of public Wifi connections is frowned
upon. Especially searching for the right password (63%), a slow
connection (51%) and the difficulty to connect (44%) are barriers
customers that don't like to surf on public Wifi want to get rid
of.
-
8 in 10 people have to adapt their mobile data
use in order to not pass the limit, of which 2 in 3 considers that
annoying.
A top quality network for a
unique unlimited offer
Orange keeps investing massively in its network to guarantee a very
qualitative experience to its customers. Investments are made not
only to prepare the future but also to offer speed and capacity to
the growing demand for mobile data. Thanks to these investments,
Orange is able to guarantee the needed network capacity for an
unlimited qualitative experience. Today, Orange 4G network
covers 99.8% of the Belgian territory. The indicators of the
telecom regulator, BIPT, recognize the very high quality of the 4G
network of Orange (coverage maps).
Michaël Trabbia, CEO of Orange
Belgium, explains: "We decided to adopt a bold challenger
positioning, focusing on what's essential for our customers. Many
of them were asking for extra data due to the growing success of
various social media, videos and streaming services. We simply
listened to them and are proud to launch the very first fully
unlimited mobile offer in Belgium supported by our leading 4G
network. We now propose also the first fully unlimited Love package
(mobile, internet and TV) of the market, perfectly suited for
customers who are looking for a complete peace of mind."
Eagle and Eagle Premium customers
can enjoy 20GB/month of mobile data on Orange's high quality and
speed 4G network. Afterwards they continue to surf carefree at a
reduced speed of 512 Kbps without any limit of surf volume in
Belgium. Surfing at 512 Kbps offers a convenient connection speed
and allows customers to check their emails, use their social
networks, watch videos on YouTube,. In the EU customers can surf
without any speed limitation at €0.0072/MB after passing 20GB of
mobile data volume.
Orange customers who already enjoy
an Eagle tariff plan, will receive a letter explaining the
subscription evolution. They don't need to do anything to receive
the unlimited amount of mobile data, Orange will activate it
automatically.
Orange Eagle and Eagle Premium can
be combined with the Love offer. The pack offers unlimited voice
calls, SMS, mobile data and fixed internet and premium TV content
for only 79€/month.
