Orange is introducing GPRS on 1st July 2002 with the Orange Express Option - Keep up-to-date at all times, wherever you are - for five francs a month

Lausanne (ots)

In September 2001 Orange introduced GPRS (General
Packet Radio Service) to Switzerland with both its Orange Express and
Orange Express Plus price plan options. Many customers took advantage
of the introductory offers until the end of June 2002 and have
subjected GPRS to a thorough test. On the 1st July Orange is
replacing both options and in the shape of Orange Express is offering
low-cost mobile Internet access: for five francs a month customers
can access the contents of the Orange Internet and WAP portals with a
standard price plan, whenever they want, from wherever they are and
as often as they like.
The cost structure of Orange Express is simple and transparent.
Unlike other mobile operators, Orange does not charge for the amount
of data, but charges for content and services received according to a
previously agreed and clearly stated price - regardless of the length
of the connection and the amount of data involved. Customers who
access the Orange Internet or WAP portal by GPRS and/or WAP, transmit
and receive data or want to surf the Internet, pay only five francs a
month for Orange Express on top of their standard price plan. This
provides unlimited access to the basic content of Orange's Internet
and WAP portals, including the latest news, sports results or weather
reports.
The best deal for you, tailored to your needs
For other services, including certain value added services, Orange
charges a fee according to the individual service used. Orange will
begin offering the first of these Premium Services in the autumn of
2002. Those who access services outside the Orange Internet and WAP
portals pay ten centimes for every ten kilobytes of data transfered
on top of their basic monthly fee. Those who are on the move and
regularly access services outside the Orange Internet and WAP portals
with their laptop and/or PDA, can tailor their Orange Express option
to suit their needs and get the best price-to-performance ratio, and
buy so-called data packets  (5, 15, 30 or 50 Megabytes). Data packets
are available for a monthly fee and expire at the end of each monthly
billing period.
