What Orange Liberia does

Orange Liberia is a Liberian-incorporated, wholly-owned subsidiary of Orange S.A. (Euronext Paris: ORA), established in 2017, that operates as a full-service mobile network operator serving consumer, small-business, large-enterprise, and government segments across all 15 counties of Liberia. Its core technology is a 4G LTE mobile network with fiber-optic fixed-broadband capability; on top of this infrastructure it layers a mobile financial services platform (Orange Money) and a unified super app (Max it) that combine telecom account management, mobile money, data bundles, and bill payment into a single surface. Distribution is dual-channel: company-owned Orange Stores in major cities (Monrovia, Paynesville, Buchanan, Gbarnga, Ganta, Kakata, plus Roberts International Airport), POS terminals at 40+ Total Service Stations and hotels, and digital self-service via Max it and USSD codes (*124#, *352#, *144#, *222#, *505#). B2B revenue is captured through a dedicated sales office in Sinkor and a portfolio of integrated services — Business Mobile Pack Mix ($50–$160/month), Closed User Group, SMS API, USSD API, Audio Conference (up to 25 participants), VPN Interconnection, SIP Trunk, and Smart Tracking — supported by the Orange Developer platform that serves 3,000+ regional clients with ~60 APIs/SDKs. Consumer revenue mixes recurring subscription (postpaid voice/data/fiber), usage-based mobile data (Data Turbo Packs from $0.50/day to $99/month for 130GB), transactional fees on Orange Money (LRD-tiered cash-out, USD-tiered cross-network sends, free deposit/registration), hardware sales of mid-range smartphones and feature phones, and value-added services such as Orange Education Portal (free data-zero-rated access to Khan Academy, Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Project Gutenberg) and Facebook-without-Internet. Orange Foundation Liberia (established 2021) operates a complementary CSR/digital-inclusion portfolio — Wologizi Computer Lab Initiative, Digital Schools, Women's Digital Centers, Orange Digital Center Liberia — and runs the annual Orange Social Venture Prize (OSVP) and WikiChallenge programs that channel funding and visibility to local ed-tech and innovation startups. In its most recent public signal, Orange Liberia was recognized as Liberia's Highest Tax Contributor Overall at the LRA's 2024/2025 Taxpayer Appreciation Awards, and the company holds active partnerships with SOS Children's Villages Liberia, Tubman University, INP-HB (Côte d'Ivoire), and Liberia's Ministry of Youth and Sports for the National County Sports Meet.
