Orange Romania is the first within the Orange footprint to launch 5G with the service going live in three main cities initially: Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and lasi. Other cities to follow throughout 2020 and beyond.
In addition to offering customers internet download speeds of up to 1.2Gbps and average download speeds of 600Mbps, a complete package of premium services and devices has been designed to enhance the 5G experience for customers. Orange customers will benefit from access to the highest 5G speed in Romania, along with unlimited internet, with over 9 GB for mobile roaming within the EU, unlimited voice calls and SMS nationally and in roaming. Additionally, customers will also have access to the Deezer music service and the Family HD Go mobile TV package, all for 25 euros per month. In addition, exclusively in the Orange offer, customers can purchase the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G flagship smartphone available in monthly instalments of 47 euros.
Orange Romania is also pioneering a number of exclusive services only available to customers of Orange. These include the Number Share Service, which allows users to use the same phone number on multiple devices without requiring a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection, and the first HD Voice Plus solution in Romania, which offers greatly improved quality of voice calls. Orange customers will also benefit from eSIM and technology, currently only being deployed by Orange Romania.
Alongside the 5G service launch, Orange Romania will also introduce the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 LTE smartwatch to its catalogue. By using the Number Share service to connect the device, consumers will benefit from considerably more flexibility in choosing between their mobile or their watch as a communications device.
