Why is Wanadoo becoming Orange?

Wanadoo and Orange have been sister companies for several years. Having developed a strong partnership, the natural step is for us to join forces to create one integrated communications company for our customers. We've chosen Orange as it's the strongest brand, with a name which is well known and trusted throughout the world.

What's in it for me?

We're now in the process of creating a new generation of high value and exciting services for our customers. These are known as 'converged services', so you'll be able to communicate at home, at work or on the go, much more easily and reliably.

Ultimately, this means you'll benefit from better value products and services and access to your Orange accounts (broadband, dial-up and mobile) with one login.

When will this happen?

Wanadoo will become Orange in summer 2006. New products and services will be available in due course.

Will this affect my email address?

If you're an existing Wanadoo customer, your current email address will continue to work as it does now. New customers will have an Orange email address.

Will this affect my service?

Your service will continue to work as it does now. If you have a Wanadoo Livebox, this will continue to work too.

Will there be a change to my contract?

No. The company name has changed, but the service and agreement you have with us stays the same.

Will this affect how I pay my bill or how I view my bill online?

No. You will be able to view and pay your bill online. The only change is the service provider you're paying will be Orange.

What products are available?

We will continue to provide the same broadband and dial-up services: Dial-Up AnyTime, Dial-Up Pay As You Go, Broadband Starter, Broadband Plus and Broadband Max.

Will the way I contact customer services change?

There's no change to our contact centre phone numbers so you can continue to call us as normal.

Our website will look slightly different; however, you'll be able to do all the same things (and more!) as before.

Will I be able to change, upgrade or cancel my broadband or dial-up account at an Orange store?

Not yet. Please contact us on the normal phone number if you have any questions about your account.

Will there be new products?

Definitely. Come back later on to find out.

Who can I speak to if I want to find out more?

If you've any more questions, just give us a buzz on 0870 010 2462.

i never really liked orange till i got with them, now i love them... had my phone for nearly a year and had no problems what so ever, customer support/services have always been good and helpful and i've never had any problems with their services... if they feed this into wonadoo they should become a good respectable company like orange as it is now

Yeah it's in a fair few european countries. We have it in the UK and it's also available in France, Spain, Holland and probably a load of others.

Yup. They provide ADSL/dail-up internet, digital telephone and digital television services here in the Netherlands. Orange is/was a mobile phone service only.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
    • Amazon Greenlights A New "Stargate" Series

      By ryansurfer98 · Posted

      I disagree. Boomer execs only want one thing; money money money. The original fans of the series want a specific reboot that focuses on the vibe and feel of the original series. Boomers don't want that because then they can't have a 8 to 9 figure return. This was canceled because of greed. 
    • Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Meta rolls out Meta Business Agent globally on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger by David Uzondu Image via Meta Meta is expanding Meta Business Agent, a feature that the social media giant promises will help businesses deliver "personalized experiences for customers using AI," launching the tech globally. Before this global release, Meta Business Agent used to be a free test called "Business AI" during a testing phase that started in October 2024. Meta picked India, Mexico, and Brazil to test the software, gathering data from over one million active shops that used the chat tools. The agent works on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, helping shops answer customer questions, check incoming leads, book appointments, and recommend products from a catalog. Meta said that the business agent can match your brand's unique tone when speaking to customers, and that it plans to improve the feature to handle "daily operations" like market research, product insights, calendars, and rival research. Soon, users will find these AI-supported shops easily by typing names in the WhatsApp search bar. Image via Meta Apart from the Business Agent, Meta is also introducing the Meta Business Agent Platform, a new agentic platform that provides the infrastructure needed to build, customize, and run virtual helpers at scale. With the Platform, companies link their bots to services like Shopify, Zendesk, and Shopee using firm-level controls, guardrails, and metrics to define strict rules. This setup lets coders build custom behaviors, keeping customers happy with direct answers. Speaking of agents, you might have heard that hackers recently broke into Instagram accounts by simply asking the Meta AI support assistant on the mobile app to hand over control. You can check out our coverage on that here.
