    All Orange customers are now on Everything Everywheres' signal
    All T-mobile customers are now on Everything Everywheres' signal

    My ISP is no longer Freeserve / Wanadoo / Orange ... it's Everything Everywhere
    incorrect - its not all merged till 3G roaming goes ahead...Orange(EE) is decommissiong excess sites aswell as adding Orange individual sites to MBNL
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    I'm on T-mobile and have been using Orange 3G in norfolk. Make sure you have data roaming switched on in your phone.

    You must be on test waiting for the full switch to be put on

    the name is changed using a sim update. When i had t-mobile roaming activated on my orange sim, orange sent me a sim update, which wasn't necessary for roaming but changed the name of t-mobile's network to "orange t-mobile". This is annoying on the iphone because it doesn't have space to display such a long network name and instead displays "orange...". I hope the name isn't changed to "everything everywhere" for both networks as it will look similarly messy.
    everything ?

    I live in South East London and work in Canary Wharf. As others I have recieved no data 3G for several weeks now in my home or work area, rendering most of the functions on my phone useless.

    I have just called Orange and Canary Wharf sounds in complete disarray, 2 masts down with no service update, one down with an April 15th fix date etc. The guy was very friendly and tried to be as helpful as possible but he just didn't have any info on fix dates. Oddly my home area has 3G apparently, but my data has gotten bad there too so I'm a bit puzzled by that.

    Long and the short is they can't provide the service I need to use my phone and aren't likely to in the near future. Maybe the T-mobile join at April end will fix it but I'm not hanging around to find out. So long Orange. Anyone have any recommendations for the best networks? Vodafone always seem to be good but I doubt they'll offer me the same terms as I gather they are the most expensive.
    use UMA/SignalBoost on Blackberry or Android, as for 15th thats probably the switch ON date for national 3G roaming, signal problems are due to the decommissioning & integration of Orange to MBNL

    Vodafone customer care is all outsourced, pan to fire - pan to FIRE !
