3UK definitely runs their own network and is not using others networks resources.

Yet another factually incorrect post. Are you just building your post count to start a spamming campaign?

3UK have always had their own network, and were never 'virtual'. As they rolled out their network they offered national 2G roaming on Orange, but this backfired on them. They had to pay Orange for all the call completions, and folk were putting SIMs in 2G phones meaning it was the default, not the back-up (as envisaged).

Their original 2g roaming was on O2, and they only switched the contract to Orange some time later.

My old SIM on 3 would roam on both O2 and Orange for a bit over a year after the change, so when I did a network search 3 appeared 3 times.

I hoped it would continue, but they eventually cut O2 off.
