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.
What do these services cost?
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.

- Premium SMS or MMS MO: you send a message from your mobile to an abbreviated number, for which you are charged a fixed price.
