The other day I had a text on my phone offering me the opportunity to enable my Orange mobile phone to also use the T-Mobile network when the Orange network isn’t available.
This is all available due to the fact that Orange and T-Mobile are now together, now I’m not too sure how this will affect my signal as I do go to some places on my travels that only seem to pick up Vodaphone signals, but saying that, I’ve not been on T-Mobile before to see if I can get their signal in those areas.
Call and text in even more places
Now you can pick up a signal from both the Orange and T-Mobile networks in the UK which means that you can call and text in even more places.
- Your phone will use T-Mobile signal if it doesn’t pick up an Orange signal
- Your charges stay the same when you use T-Mobile signal
- Nothing else will change, you’ll just get more network coverage
My main concern with all this was the dreaded word “Charges!”, but after reading the info supplied by Orange, all charges are the same as those for Orange when you’re roaming on T-Mobile, so that’s a relief.
So now I have my BlackBerry Curve with 300 free texts, 100MB surfing and roaming with T-Mobile all for £10 a month, sounds good to me
Over the next few days I will be trying out my phone more often and checking to see how the roaming performs with T-Mobile and Orange working together, so keep your eye peeled and I’ll update this post with how I get on
