Operational Efficiency

Moreover, Orange highlighted that the unified card will streamline inventories and enhance operational efficiency for commercial agents. Distribution of these new cards has commenced through non-face-to-face channels, with availability in Orange stores starting from December.

Customer Connectivity

Orange Spain emphasised that both its 5G+ and 4G cards enable customers to connect to the 5G+ network if they are within coverage and possess a 5G+ compatible device. For users with very old 4G cards, upgrading the SIM is necessary to enjoy the Orange 5G+ (5G SA) Network.
