Deezer supplies millions of songs to computers, cell phones and other mobile devices.
Orange has collaborated with the music service since 2010 in France, enhancing the streaming services with consumer communication packages.
This release is part of the expansion to Africa and Poland, as announced by Orange in June. The service has already proved to be successful in the United Kingdom and France.

Orange’s latest mobile release is the African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) app through which football fans can follow the series of matches.
