Orange users can now opt to use TMobile masts

Just a heads-up if you didn't know-but you have to sign up for the sevice/extra masts on the Orange site. Click the appropriate banner.

Edit: Pls ignore as i just notice the other post concerning this towards the bottom of the page

Does it just automatically switch between the two without any user interaction?

Yup

"Orange T-Mobile" is too long though, shows as "Orange..." on my iPhone :rolleyes:

Mines set to Orange. Should I change it to Orange T-Mobile? I've activated it online.

antonusklesk · 12 Oct 2010 at 13:27

I've activated online, done the txt opt-in thing and followed the instructions to reboot the phone.

Still won't let me on Orange T-Mobile lol.

MagicalTrevor · 12 Oct 2010 at 13:56

I've done it on mine as well, and I've only seen it switch over once, but it did do it. I guess Orange have got pretty good coverage anyway around me, so there's no need to switch over.

3G doesn't work anyway when it switches over at the moment so it's just for call signal.

Just did this. Gone from getting 1 or 2 bars to full signal. Shame I'm moving to 3 soon.

PermaBanned · 12 Oct 2010 at 16:37

And vice versa?

Nymins · 12 Oct 2010 at 17:19

Still doesn't give me good signal here. Oh well, just a rubbish area for signal for me.

Stick your postcode in here and it will tell you where your nearest masts are and who the operator is.

Everyone: Once you have signed up you don't need to do anything, the T-mobile signal will be used automatically when necessary.

Not working on my HTC hero, no option for the T-mobileOrange network on the list, rebooted and still no joy!

Sucks as well since there is zero service in my house from t-mobile unless I hang out a window

Works great

I now jump on to Orange T-Mobile when at work, as i was getting no reception at all on Orange!

Bradmax57 · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:10

Activated this morning after i recieved a letter from them, but at my home and work no need for it as Orange is full anyway, could be usefull tho in the future

Gilly · 13 Oct 2010 at 12:00

Mine works awesomely.

PistolPete · 13 Oct 2010 at 14:38

Anyone here roamed onto 3??

I visit Thornbury near Bristol once a week. Orange signal where I go is a nono, but last week I got 3 and Orange TMobile.

molinari · 13 Oct 2010 at 18:45

I'm trying to sign up to this at the moment but it keeps saying there is a problem

. The number is correct and so are the security words. Is anyone else having a problem??
