    Hi there.

    I have noticed a difference. I signed up to T Mobile about 6 months ago. What I noticed was when I try and use the handset inside my flat/appartment I literally have to hang out of the window to be able to get a connection.

    Since T-Mobile and Orange merged, I can set my phone away from T MOBILE UK to T MOBILE ORANGE and can use my mobile in any room now.

    It's like a novalty to actually be able to use my phone indoors. LOL! Sounds daft I know. But the "old" Orange signal must be better where I live than T Mobiles!

    Someone else may come along with a different experience to me though.

    Bye for now.

    I'm on Orange and have had seamless network since opting in to the T-Mobile network.

    There are no costs or charges, and nothing to do once it's set up - my phone will automatically detect the best signal where I am.

    Absolutely no charges - I live in a place with terrible orange reception so it's been great for me.

    live in country- miles from anywhere - phone hops to whichever signal it can find just fine and coverage much better - bound to be......orange is good for open water and spaces

    I agree. No negatives, only positives since opting in.

    My Orange PAYG now works in places where there was poor or zero reception previously.
