Important Considerations when ordering the Orange Service

When ordering the service from Orange you must be aware that the person selling to you is on commission, and the commission is based on the more options they can sell you. If your line is capable of taking 8mb, they will offer you that, if your line will take TV (French TV) they will sell you that. If ordering the service yourself you have to be sure of what options you want and be firm and be prepared for them to cut the phone conversation once they know you do not want any options. If you take on any extra to the basic package you then sign up minimum of 1 year so you need to be careful if you want the service without contract.

We can arrange the services with Orange on your behalf and make sure that it meets your exact requirements.
