During the last evening I told you that Orange offers 1GB of free 4G internet for 3 months to all subscribers who have 4G compatible mobile terminals used with the subscription that I pay monthly. Today I complete that information with the fact that internet traffic will be allocated in several installments by the operator to subscribers in the regions where it exists 4G coverage, the traffic will be available together with the standard one from your subscription, but for now I don't know if it will be consumed before the one from the subscription, or after it.
Access to 4G network it should be done without restrictions in terms of speed, again internet traffic will be available only after receiving a confirmation SMS from the operator. A representative of Orange Romania said last week that there are 200.000 terminals compatible with the 4G network in the network, but probably only a part of them are used with subscriptions. Having said that, it is possible that the customer relations service does not have this information and I do not know yet when the traffic allocation process will begin.
Details about 4G coverage in Romania for all three operators found here: Orange, Cosmote, Vodafoneand here you can find out under what conditions you can connect to the network.
UPDATED: To clarify all your questions, the people from Orange were nice and sent the following clarifications.
Any customer who has a 4G smartphone and is in the 4G coverage area can request by calling 411, 408, Orange shop or visiting the Orange store the activation of the option by which they can test the 3G services free of charge for 4 months (+ pro rata). The option includes 1GB of internet traffic at 4G speeds, traffic that is allocated at the beginning of each billing month. Until the first billing date, the 1GB traffic is allocated prorated, depending on the number of days left, just like with any option. From the first billing date, customers have 3 more months to test 4G services free of charge. The option has Cost Control, and after the end of the 1GB traffic no additional cost is registered. If there is Internet traffic from the subscription or another activated option on the respective account, the 1GB traffic from the 4G testing option is the first to be consumed.
At the end of the 3 months of free service (and the prorated period, from the activation of the option to the first billing date) the option will be deactivated. Customers who still want internet access at 4G speeds can activate a paid option or choose a subscription or an option with 4G access.
