International Roaming Network Configuration - Calling whilst abroad couldn't be easier

Orange will be making some changes to its network
settings to make calling whilst abroad as easy as pie. And all Orange
customers will automatically receive these new settings via an SMS
sent to their mobile phone, enabling them to take advantage of this
new service without further ado.

For Orange users abroad on holiday or on business, checking the
messages in their Orange Box can be a complex process, involving
either a caller identification procedure requiring a special code and
symbol or switching through the available service-providers manually
to find one that recognises their automatic caller identification
settings. And calls from and to Switzerland are often not identified
at all!

But thanks to the new Orange network settings, for a group of
network-providers abroad this will be a thing of the past. The caller
identification Orange customers are used to and are able to use as
standard on their home network will be available for an increasing
number of calls to and from other countries, automatically. The new
SIM card settings required for this will be sent out directly via the
mobile network in an SMS.

"These new settings are to be introduced on a gradual basis to
ensure that whilst abroad our customers are offered networks that
support their accustomed caller identification and our outstanding
service quality, whether in terms of network coverage or GPRS roaming
for example. And as Orange offers uniform rates abroad irrespective
of the roaming partner involved, our customers are winners from every
angle," explains Andreas Waber, Product Marketing Director.

Not all mobile phones will register the new settings in the same
way and a SIM activity message may appear on some models. Customers
should not worry about this; the message will disappear
automatically.
