Orange and BT Wholesale ink landline deal RSS

Orange have just signed an agreement with BT which sees BT Wholesale providing fixed landline services to Orange customers, now making Orange a full triple-play provider, whilst setting the stage for the mobile network operator to become a quad-player, once their IPTV platform is finalised.

Previously, Orange customers could enjoy inclusive landline minutes on certain packages, but these calls were routed through the Orange Livebox, and were therefore technically VoIP calls. Now customers will be able to keep their existing BT number without having to undergo any lengthy porting procedures, making switching to Orange a whole lot easier.

Announcing the deal, Asif Aziz, director of home products for Orange, said: “It is our goal to provide mobile, broadband, fixed line and TV to every house in Britain.

“This is an important step in making that a reality by providing our customers with all of their communication needs from one supplier. The agreement enables us to provide our customers with all their home services in one bill.”

What difference this makes to current Orange pricing structures remains to be seen.

    I had no idea that Orange phone calls were VoIP, I just assumed that a BT wholesale deal was already in place.
