The name is an abbreviation of the original name "Life is Better ON". All versions of the app have included "ON" or "Libon" in their names.
History
Libon was launched in beta for testing in November 2009 before the LeWeb conference. The first version of the app was called "ON Address Book", and was only available on Android.
In March 2011, Orange launched "ON Voicefeed" at the DEMO conference - a visual voicemail iOS app enabling its users to personalize their voicemail greetings by recording them or type them (text-to-speech feature).
On 21 November 2012, Orange added the VoIP feature, updated the UI of the service and rebranded it to "Libon". The new service was announced by Stéphane Richard at the Hello! show.
On 30 June 2016, Libon changed and decided to focus only in VOIP Out. The others features was removed.
