    You are conflating branding with legal entities.

    Orange UK also seems to be still operational with the same registered address.

    Still operational? Your own link says:
    Nature of business (SIC)

    99999 - Dormant Company

    Good luck with that argument, Orange UK and T-Mobile UK ceased to exist in 2010 with EE paying a licence to Orange to use the Orange brand name until 2019.

    Orange does still exist, if the stalker wants to push his case.

    Orange S.A.
    78 Rue Olivier de Serres
    75015
    Paris
    France

    Going down the route of saying that Orange in the UK is a defunct business, would be like saying everyone who was an Orange UK customer before it was taken over by EE should have had their services cancelled too.

    And T-Mobile UK was still a brand in the UK in 2012 as I took out a contract with them back then.

    That is exactly what is happening, I received (a few months ago) a letter from Orange/EE giving me the choice to move to EE or request a PAC for my Orange contract line, if I did neither the line was going to be cancelled, which they did about a month ago.

    The important bit is further up the page

    Company status
    Active

    As I side note, I thought EE were offering 150 free sms per month for people migrating from Orange Out Here to EE PAYG?

    What do you expect after you started stalking and phoned EE staff at home?

    Like I care, public domain, it says on the form “public records”

    Yes active, if you do your research you find that OPCs were paid umpteen million for a license

    So they can afford 5 texts a day

    What is/was the full legal company name on the contract that came with the original Out Here pack? Trace that via Companies House Beta to see who the company is now.
