Wish I never went with t-mobile!

That's confused me then. Tmobile will have exact same packages as orange? The reason I ask is I have a t-mobile blackberry and am getting it unlocked to orange sim because I have orange sim and the tmobile phone says my orange sim is invalid.

The packages etc will all be as they are now and T-Mobile/Orange branding will stay seperate, the networks and staff will be/have been merging.

The only difference a customer would get to see would be the ability to use masts which previously were only open to people on the other network, and you'll probably get through to the same call center if you were to ever ring them.

t-mobile, orange and three will eventually all be exactly the same there in the process of merging.

When did Three come into the mix of the merger? It's only Orange and T-Mobile that form Everything Everywhere IIRC?

They aren't. T-Mobile and Three were in a group called MBNL (Mobile Broadband Network Ltd or something) which meant that they pooled their HSPA (3.5G) cell sites together to provide each other's company with a better HSPA signal. Since Everything Everywhere took over Orange and T-Mobile, Orange is now in on this deal too, so very soon almost all of the population of the UK will have access to HSPA cell sites on one of these 3 networks.

T-Mobile/Orange are now one company, Everything Everywhere, but two totally seperate brands.
Three is still their own company.
