A telecommunications company in the Dominican Republic that has changed owners many times, from Verizon stealing money to Claro making a mess of things. Because the company has passed from hand to hand so often, the name is used as a double entendre to mock a person for being promiscuous. (Codetel was the long-standing national phone service provider before being acquired by various international corporations).
A: Who are you with? B: With Codetel. A: Oh man, you do not even realize how many hands you have passed through.

The largest French mobile service provider in Santo Domingo, infamous for having the shittiest signal and consistency. The service constantly drops because they try to sell a phone to every Dominican without having the server capacity to handle the demand. Despite this, trendy youth (jevitos: middle or upper class young people who follow fashion) love the company for its cool phones and cheap rates for calls and texting.
A: Dude, I was calling you last night so you could go with me to a party full of single women. Where were you that you didn't pick up the phone? B: Shit man, don't joke. That damn Orange felt like dropping the signal for about 3 hours yesterday. A: Ah beast, you blew it, keep being cheap using Orange.
