    Just had a letter from Orange advising me that they are now sharing coverge with T Mobile and I have to opt in to use the advanced coverage.

    Before I do, is this definately at no charge or change to my current billing?

    No charge and no change to the billing/contract period.

    Now that Orange and T-Mobile have merged you can sign up to use the Orange network if you cannot get any signal on the T-mobile network and vice-versa. It doesn't cost any extra you just have to register your number.

    Orange customers follow this link

    I don't believe they have merged, they are still their own brands but you now can share 'networks' if you have no signal.
    If I've help in anyway, please remember to thank me :-)

    They are still maintaining their own brands however.

    ... for now, but it's thought the t-mobile brand will be dropped.
