There is less than one week until
the iPhone will arrive in France,
but Orange, the
French telecom operator that will offer Apple’s popular smart phone in this
country, already revealed few details about tariffs and terms of sale for the
iPhone.
According to a Friday report from
the French newspaper Les Echos, although Orange’s
web site leaked some details related to how the iPhone would be sold in
France, the company declined to comment about the service plans.
In Europe,
the iPhone plan pricing became a big concern, especially that just a few days ago
the German mobile network operator T-Mobile decided to sell the iPhone unlocked
and without a contract.
In France, Orange’s price list
seems to be pretty competitive, as it includes four plans priced at €49, €59,
€79, and €119 respectively, which will get the French users either 2+2 (daytime
+ nights and weekends), 3 + 3, 5 + 5, or 8 + 8 hours of calls and 50, 100, 150
or 1000 SMS messages, respectively.
All four of Orange’s plans will offer unlimited EDGE data
usage and Visual Voicemail, and they will allow the iPhone owners to use the
company’s WiFi hotspots for 10 hours a month, or 100 hours a month - for the €119
plan.
The prices Orange
revealed on its web site will come with a two-year contract.
