Orange is partnering with the Ministry of Higher Education to help provide students with digital equipment
Paris, September 30, 2011
Orange has launched today the limited edition ‘Let’s go’ Proxima Student(1) plan. With this offer, students will be able to equip themselves with the touch screen tablet of their choice together with a mobile broadband package (1 Gb per month) for just 1 euro per day.
Access to digital knowledge with a fixed budget
This offer will facilitate the lives of students by enabling them to share reading materials, gain access to millions of scientific reviews and reference books, take part in interactive preparation of exams and essays (videoconference, chat), and enjoy personalised services that will help ensure success in their studies. The ‘Let’s go’ plan puts the full potential of the digital world at your fingertips using the most up-to-date technology that is both lighter than a computer and handier than a phone.
All of this is now possible thanks to the limited edition ‘Let’s go’ Proxima Student plan available for 1 euro per day, or 30 euros per month, with a 24-month commitment(2). With this offer, students in higher education will be able to choose between a 16 Gb iPad 2 and a Galaxy 8.9’’ tablet, coupled with a tariff plan to keep them connected wherever they are. This plan includes:
1 Gb per month of credit on the Orange mobile broadband network,
Unlimited e-mails in mainland France (including attachments),
Unlimited access to Orange WiFi (list of Orange hotspots on www.orange-wifi.com).
To supplement the 1 Gb limit, students will be able to buy extra data at a cost of 3 euros per 100 Mb.
The offer is only available for adult students (from 18-years) in higher education(3) and can only be subscribed to on www.orange.fr or on the Ministry’s Proxima Mobile site, www.proximamobile.fr.
The Orange ‘Let’s go’ offers also mean the guarantee of being on the best network in mainland France, as Orange covers more than 97% of the population with 3G / 3G+.
