Invoice Split
With Invoice Split you set the maximum amount invoiced to your company. Every eurocent above this maximum is at the expense of the end user. This way you can offer your employees a fringe benefit while keeping your costs under control.
Premium numbers & blocking solutions
Are you calling an 090x or 070 number? These are services that are not offered by Orange but by external partners who grant you access and set their own price for these calls.
How much are these calls?
Calls to premium numbers may be more expensive than a standard call in Belgium.
Depending on the area code you’re calling, prices range from €0.30 to €2 per min. or per call.
The caller hears a message stating the maximum rate for calls to an 070 number, giving him the chance to end the call free of charge (obligation imposed on operators on 1 July 2015 by the BIPT).
How can you recognise these services?
These services are offered by third parties, the name Orange is not mentioned. The other mobile operators also offer the same services.

Orange, Proximus and Base have established a code of conduct for the management of multimedia services by third parties. This code stipulates you can unsubscribe from a service at any given time by sending the word ‘STOP’ to the abbreviated number in question.
Call 5995 to block a service. Please note that blocking such a number prevents mobile payment of your bus, tram and parking tickets as well as other services.
Important: The Ethics Commission for Telecommunications monitors the proper use of premium numbers (e.g. 0900 or 070 numbers and text messages to a 4-digit number starting with 3, 4, 7 or 9). The Ethics Commission investigates on its own initiative or in response to complaints lodged for non-compliance with the Ethics Code for Telecommunications. Complaints can be submitted to the Ethics Commission secretariat (Ellipse Building - Building C - Koning Albert II laan 35 - 1030 Brussels). The complaint is presented to the Ethics Commission if the problem could not be solved through mediation of the operator. The Ethics Commission can also look into a complaint lodged with the Office of the Ombudsman for Telecommunications if the mediation of the Office of the Ombudsman for Telecommunications failed to yield a satisfying result for the plaintiff.

Abroad: Travel Data Control
This service makes it easy to set a limit on your mobile internet use abroad before your departure. This way you can avoid nasty surprises!
Your connection is blocked as soon as the set limit is reached. At that point you can either decide that enough is enough or you can extend your limit, in which case your internet connection is automatically restored.
As standard the Travel Data Control limit is set at €50 per billing period.
To change this amount go to:
- Your Customer Zone (for fleet managers): select a number and change the Travel Data Control amount under ‘Options’.
- The My Orange app (for employees who pay part of their invoice): in the section ‘Rate plan and options', under ‘My options'.
