Roaming is a GSM service that allows Orange Postpaid subscribers to use their mobile phones outside the country where there is a GSM network and where Orange has a Roaming Agreement. This is very convenient way of staying in contact as the subscriber does not have to change his or her mobile number.
Available to: Orange Postpaid subscribers ONLY
Activation Fee: FREE and needs to be done only once
Subscribers should contact our Call Centre on 123 and request for Activations forms at least 3 days before travelling. These forms can be faxed, emailed or collected at the nearest Orange Shop.
COST: While roaming, you will be charged for both incoming and outgoing calls. These rates vary for each destination country and for each mobile operator where we have more than 1 Roaming agreement in a country.
Our Roaming coverage is continuously expanding and it is important for subscribers to get in touch with us to confirm whether Roaming is available at their country of destination and the applicable Roaming rates.
