During the Orange OpenTech event in Paris, Orange announced the launch of “Message Satellite”, a service that allows its customers based in mainland France to send and receive SMS messages as well as their geolocation via satellite when mobile or Wi-Fi coverage is unavailable, Cyber Era NG learns.

We gather that the service is currently available for use in France and 36 countries to date.

Available from December 11, 2025 for the general public, and during 2026 for professional and corporate customers, this service consolidates Orange’s leadership position in networks and in France by offering the most comprehensive and high-performance range of connectivity solutions on the market. It also illustrates the Group’s commitment to continuing its strategy of providing a complete portfolio of mobile, terrestrial, satellite and submarine connectivity solutions, leveraging its innovation and technological diversification capabilities.
