Orange launches HD voice for mobile phones

Orange has finally launched its High Definition Voice technology, and promises to give ‘crystal clear’ call quality. The technology will only work between HD enabled phones on the Orange network

HD Voice gets free of the interference from calls, which will help those people who like to make calls on the run.

Orange HD Voice is available for free to all Orange mobile customers who take a HD Voice enabled handset with the Nokia 5230, Nokia X6, Nokia E5 and Samsung Omnia Pro all HD Voice enabled at launch and further manufactures expected to offer HD handsets in the coming months.

According to Tom Alexander, Chief Executive of Everything Everywhere, although what we use our mobile handsets for has evolved significantly in the past few years – the way the user make mobile calls hasn’t changed a great deal since the 1990s. So the company is proud to be the first telecommunications brand in the UK to change this and offer customers a revolutionary new calling experience.

The technology, known as, Adaptive Multi Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) has been adopted for the network.
