ArmInfo. Orange Armenia Company imported iPhone to Armenia.

As Orange Director General Bruno Duthoit said at today’s
press-conference, launch of iPhone was scheduled even several months
ago, however, it was postponed for development of all the necessary
details. "We would like to make certain of the maximum equipment of
the models we offer from now on. This step has become possible due to
the partnership of France Telecom group and Apple Company, owing to
which iPhones have already appeared in many countries", Duthoit said.

Three iPhone models at the cost of 245,000, 295,000 and 350,000 drams
will be presented in sale. Four tariff plans valued at 4,000, 6,000,
10,000 and 20,000 drams per month will be attached to the models at
option. "Having bought an iPhone, Orange subscribers will be able to
easily transfer to the special tariff plans for iPhone. The model is
not envisaged for work with the cards of other operators, however,
the proposals we make in the tariff plans allow a subscriber to save
as more as a bigger tariff plan he/she chose. The funds, saved during a
year, can be compared to the iPhone cost. We do it since we understand
that a telephone has no practical value without the services which are
available by dint of it", Orange Marketing Director Aram Lazarian
said. iPhione buyers in Armenia will have an access to the online
catalogue of Apple – App Store computer programmes containing about
150,000 programmes, including the virtual Armenian keyboard. For more
