Updated on
min reading

Orange's English-speaking customer service number is +33 9 69 36 39 00 (Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm). 3900 (or +33 9 69 39 39 00 from abroad) is the general Orange customer service line in French, which handles most queries and may sometimes transfer you to an English-speaking advisor but is not an English helpline by design.

Orange France English-speaking customer service

Orange is currently the only major French operator that officially provides an English-speaking customer service, available at +33 9 69 36 39 00. If you live in France and need an Orange English speaking helpline in France, this is the number to try first.

The Orange English-speaking helpline assists both mobile and Internet customers. While Orange's website is mostly in French, this dedicated service helps expats in France manage their accounts and technical issues in English.

💡 Problems with the Orange English helpline: what to expect and what to do

Many expats say the Orange English helpline starts with French-only menus and can be hard to reach outside business hours. To get help, call during weekday daytime, stay on the line through the French prompts, then ask if you can speak with an English-speaking advisor, or use the online chat/forum if the line is unavailable. Expats often share recent experiences with the Orange English helpline in online forums and Facebook groups; checking a recent thread can help set expectations (waiting times, language, etc.).

Contacting Orange France customer service in English online

Your Orange online account (Espace Client)

If you are comfortable navigating written French, you may find Orange's online customer support a more efficient option than the telephone, as it avoids you being put on hold.

💡 Insider tip

To reach English-speaking customer assistance for Orange, try sending them a message via social media, on either their Facebook page or X (ex- Twitter). Expats often find it easier to contact Orange customer service in English than to visit a store.
