Hello I bought an iphone 5 phone sealed on Orange, and heard that since the merger, a tmobile nano sim will be compatible, so it will work on this phone. Is this true? Or will only orange sim cards work on this phone?
Thanks
Thanks

It'll be locked to the first nano SIM you insert - if there is a later change, only EE will be able to amend it for you.0

If the phone is Unlocked to Any Network any nano Sim will work
If it Locked to Orange then only Orange nano Sim will work
Orange and T-Mobile are two different company's owned by EE.Nobody is Perfect. I am Nobody, therefore I am Perfect.0 -
Wrong.
It will accept both a T-Mobile Sim and an Orange Sim.
It'll also accept an EE sim too
My 4S accepts bothI spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂0 -

I work for Orange (EE) and I'm telling you both will work... But hey... up to you..
I wish I could prove it, but my Orange iPad sim works in my T-Mobile iPhone, but my GiffGaff sim and my GF's Voda sim won't work in my iPhone.I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019.

Well it must off only just happened because my iPhone was locked to Orange and no other Sim would work in it so i had to get it Unlocked and i am still with Orange its just sometimes i need to switch Sims.Nobody is Perfect. I am Nobody, therefore I am Perfect.0 -
Yeah quite new. All models from 4S upwards are dual supported.I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019.
