Today Vox switches to Orange. Say goodbye to Vox, welcome Orange!

Was curious to see if anything changed a part from the website. Said to myself that most probably would have a been a bit too soon to see changes in their offers. How wrong was I… They did change their iPhone offers. Not only changed, they improved them a lot!

Look here below:

The basic iPhone package gets 75 minutes of free calls to Europe a month! The 50Euro/month iPhone package gets 150 minutes a month of free calls to Europe and the 75Euro a month package gets a whopping amount of 200 minutes a month of free calls to Europe.

A lot of people here in Luxembourg have family/friends abroad. I guess this change will be pretty much appreciated by a lot of customers. Went rapidly to check if Luxgsm or Tango had anything similar in their offers but still not.  I shall say:” Welcome Orange!”

Maybe this will relaunch a bit the race between our three iPhone providers.

I invite you to go to check their entire site for the full details of their offers.

A double post. We read in the press that VoxMobile will no longer be. By next week it will be rebranded into Orange. What this change will bring to consumer, no one knows, only time will tell (or their press conference due next week). But I guess the worldwide Orange know-how will stir the small luxembourgish market up a bit and maybe become a serious challenger to other providers.
Another news is that the new Yellow.lu app 2.0 we announced last week didn’t have any troubles passing the Appstore approval process… It’s yours for the takin’ as we speak. I had a (quick) look at it and it felt snappier, but I will go through it a bit longer and we’ll give you an indeep review soon.
One obvious change is, that offers more services besides being a directory. Like traffic cams view, farmacies, an “around me” feature and many more. An obvious hit at their competitor Editus, but in a less “childish” way with a more polished user-interface (less standard iPhone programing, for people familiar with the sdk and x-code, cocoa and the likings). What are your thoughts? Do you like it better? Is it worse? Comments below please.
