Google and Orange have joined forces to increase the number of people using mobile internet in the Middle East and Africa.
Orange customers in the area can now buy a “digital communication package” costing just 40 dollars, the cheapest such package in the region.
The package will give users access to Google Search, Google Maps, YouTube and sport, music and fashion content, as well as call and text allowances.
Orange will also be releasing smartphones already loaded with Google apps that will help users to access key services and also educate them on how to use the internet to find information and communicate with others.
It will offer local language support on the devices, and also develop new services that will be useful to the market.
