Exactly six months after the launch in Armenia, on May 6th, Orange
and Investec, a Tunisian subsidiary of the Mabrouk group announced the
launch of Orange Tunisia. Orange Tunisia will offer customers mobile,
fixed and internet services, according to Orange Armenia press office.
This partnership represents an important step forward for France
Telecom-Orange and its development in the Mediterranean and North
Africa. Despite the high penetration rate in the country (90%), there
is strong demand for the wide-ranging, innovative services that have
forged the reputation of the Orange brand across the world.
Orange Tunisia has built the country’s first 3G network. This network
already covers the majority of Tunisia’s major cities. Overall coverage
will be doubled by the end of the year.
Orange is now present in 18 countries in Africa and the Middle East.
With this launch, Tunisian customers will join a worldwide community of
130 million people who already enjoy the benefits of the Orange brand.
