Orange, in\u00a0partnership with Nashua Mobile, is now offering services for those traveling to the United Kingdom and\u00a0the Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
This follows a previous announcement in June 2013, in which Orange launched a
\npartnership with Nashua Mobile to offer such services for travellers to and from Botswana and France,\u00a0and the establishment of Orange corners within select Nashua Mobile stores.<\/p>\n
S\u00e9bastien Crozier, CEO of Orange Horizons said: \u201cIt is important for travellers to be able to communicate with friends, family and business associates while travelling; however, the high costs\u00a0associated with global roaming call and data services puts a damper on the joy and excitement of\u00a0travelling.<\/p>\n
“Orange offers travelers the option to do so at local rates, therefore avoiding the high roaming\u00a0costs associated with traveling abroad. We make it even easier by offering them locally, so customers\u00a0can purchase the products before going to their destination so that they know the number that will be in\u00a0use.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nashua Mobile CEO Mark Taylor said: \u201cThe Orange UK products will enable our customers to save time\u00a0and money when they visit one of the most popular international tourism and business destinations for\u00a0South Africans.”<\/p>\n
