Orange Romania launches fixed telephony service (Romania)Orange Romania has launched a bundled telephony/broadband service targeting business and residential customers. The so-called Home & Office Packs provide fixed line telephony and broadband internet access via HSDPA and include a SIM card and an HDSPA terminal. The terminal enables users to simultaneously use voice and data services, via Wi-Fi and through a regular network cable, for one or more computers. Home & Office Pack plans cost 12 EUR, 24 EUR or 36 EUR, depending on the number of minutes and amount of Internet traffic included with the service. Customers who already own one or more Orange mobile service plans and purchase a Home & Office Pack will receive free calls from their fixed number to their mobile numbers and from the mobile numbers to the fixed Orange number. Orange Romania is the third mobile operator to launch a landline service in Romania following Telemobil (end-2005) and Vodafone Romania (June 2007 for individuals and September for corporate clients). Also, Orange announced the extension of its UMTS network and the upgrade to HSDPA, offering up to 7.2 Mbps download speed. The areas in Bucharest where the Orange mobile internet may reach the said speed include Unirii Square, Magheru Blvd – Universitate, Victoria Square, Pipera and Baneasa.
