Paris, March 26, 2009
Orange presents numerous offers during the Salon des Seniors event (March 26
to 28, 2009, in Paris), providing a preview of its new offers designed for Seniors.
Pack Internet Facile (Easy Internet Pack) is presented to the general public for the first time
Particularly adapted for Seniors who want simplified access to multimedia IT, Pack Internet Facile is a computer with a simplified interface, a Wi-Fi modem, a broadband Internet subscription (1Mégamax) and a dedicated assistance service. Pack Internet Facile will be launched in Orange agencies in spring 2009.
The computer has got a screen with an integrated 120 Go hard disk and is equipped with a wireless connection, making it highly portable. Its interface has been designed to make it as simple as possible to use multimedia IT, with direct access to simple and fun services for communicating with friends and family (e-mail, Internet, photos, leisure and home office).
Pack Internet Facile also proposes a complete installation, assistance and support package to make it easy and secure for beginners to discover the world of multimedia IT.
This offer is available in all Orange agencies. They will have the choice of three offers:
Mobile teleassistance, the first offer combining teleassistance and human services accessible by mobile phone
Orange and the insurance company Mondial Assistance have combined their expertise to offer everyone – active, elderly, isolated or fragile people – an offer of services associated with a specific mobile phone, sold by Orange.
Pressing the telephone’s assistance key for three seconds, the caller has 24/7 access to the Mondial Assistance teams everywhere in metropolitan France. Depending on the caller’s situation and their request, the assistance platform can then contact emergency services and/or their friends or family, or put them in contact with a network of approved service providers operating negotiated tariffs in the fields of human services, the home and automobile breakdown services.
Mobile teleassistance is an option available with the Sagem my312T and an Orange subscription. It costs €10/month, without engagement.
