Major carrier Orange has just announced it has managed to overcome technical challenges and launched the first HD voice service between two countries.

Starting today, customers in Romania and Moldova will be able to take advantage of the new service between the two countries.

Obviously, the HD voice service requires customers to use compatible handsets. Keep in mind that both phones need to support the new service.

“Mobile HD voice offers noticeably better audio quality, and brings a real satisfaction to Orange clients. This is a true commercial success and demonstrates Orange's commitment to give our customers the best mobile experience available,” said Paul-Francois Fournier, Orange's Technocentre Executive VP.

The carrier already offers mobile HD voice in 14 countries: Moldova, Armenia, Belgium, France (Metropolitan and Reunion), Spain (Catalonia), United Kingdom, Egypt (Cairo), Luxembourg, Mauritius, Romania, Dominican Republic, Kenya, Uganda and Jordan.

More countries in Africa and the Middle East will be added by the end of 2012, so stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
