Orange Cameroun, one of the leading mobile Telecommunication companies in the country, has employed more than 400 youths, to carry out a sensitisation scheme on the outfit's latest services.

Dubbed 'Orange Angels', the youths that fall between the ages of 18 to 26, drawn from Universities and colleges throughout the national triangle. They have been assigned to sensitise the public, especially Orange subscribers on the company's new tariffs, the Orange favourite number and the Orange World, an operation that enables subscribers to surf on all internet sites.

Clad in white Orange T-shirts, Orange caps and umbrellas, the Orange Angels will for 30 days, comb the nooks and crannies, distributing flyers, and applying inter-personal communication skills to explain the modules of the new services.

One of the Orange Angels, in the Buea zone, Zoneziwoh Zoneziwoh, observed that most of the Orange subscribers did not know how to change from "joker classic" to "joker chrono" and benefit from the latest Orange services.

"During the day, Orange tariffs are different from what they are at nightfall. There is also the Orange favourite number. It is a subscriber's favourite number in his phone directory, which he can call from midnight to 04:59 am, free of charge, and from 05 am to 11:59 am at FCFA 100 for 3 minutes or 1 franc per second."

"Orange subscribers are very satisfied and have embraced the new services. In fact, they feel honoured to be Orange subscribers," said Zoneziwoh.On how she became a member of the Orange Angels, she said she has been a regular browser of the Orange website for a long time now. She said that it was through this way that she saw the information announcing the imminent recruitment of holiday youths.

She said she applied and was recruited.Emilie Kambou, another Orange Angel, stated that she takes down the numbers, opinions, email addresses and the numbers activated from their enlightened subscribers. She further stated that so far, they have been able to meet more than 2000 people within Buea.

"We are supposed to meet about 20 people daily," Kambou stated.According to the Orange Angel supervisor of the Buea zone, Raymond Ayamba, the operation is meant to be in two phases. "The first phase began on Tuesday, August 11, and will last for 10 days, after which we shall be having intervals for five days before proceeding to the second phase."Many Orange subscribers, who spoke to The Post, said they were pleased with the innovations.

"I have been taught on how to create a favourable Orange number and how to change from "classic to chrono". To do this, I have to dial 967 when filling my account with a scratch card," said Macknus Chinedu, an Orange subscriber in Buea.

This is the second time Orange Cameroun is launching this operation, aimed at providing incentives for students to prepare for the next academic year, and also to increase its dynamism, and proximity with its clients.
