in [UK Mobile]

From: Michael Chare on 26 Jul 2010 21:38 Will Orange and T-Mobile merge their networks, so that all mast carry both networks? If so does anyone know when. Ideally I would like my Virgin sim to be able to connect to the local Orange mast which has a strong signal. -- Michael Chare

From: JL on 27 Jul 2010 05:52 Eventually they will yes. It's meant to be later this year but no news about it recently - only the mention on the EverythingEverywhere website last month. I'm looking forward to being able to use T-Mobile on my Orange phone. -- JL "Michael Chare" <MunderscoreNEWS(a)chareDOTorg.uk> wrote in message news:ntqdnYP1LKAUpdPRnZ2dnUVZ8tudnZ2d(a)brightview.co.uk... > Will Orange and T-Mobile merge their networks, so that all mast carry both > networks?

Leaving those who need Orange coverage little choice. Problem is Orange have always been a reluctant provider for Virtuals. Lycamobile 075 are easily the best virtual on Orange still offered. Currently 10p per min UK calls, free voicemail. Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of �1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK

Half price bolt ons (goodybags) till the end of August and you can stack another one before the end of that month. Their free 0800 is useful for callthroughs. The first choice when picking any deal is the network and it's coverage in the areas you want to use the phone. The greatest rate is of no use if you don't have coverage.
