Good news imo. T-mobile has some cracking deals but I would not use them as the signal is terrible orange isnt that great either lets hope that together they can sort something out and rival vodafone and o2.
What I like about this announcement is that the companies are clearly stating how this will benefit the consumer, rather than pandering to their shareholders.
Hang on...
Torange Mobile!
good for customers, not so great for staff (2 stores in 1 town, 1 is going to have to close)
should be good though from a tech and customer point of view
Although ofc, is this the entirety of orange or just the mobile division? what with the fact that orange bought wannadoo and so have their own isp...
...and you would know Steve
I adore T-mobile, they have fantastic customer service & a few good deals, but i do prefer several of Orange's mobile phone choices so in theory this could go well. All depends which aspects of the two companies get brought to the table!
My contract renews net month, so hopefully the timing of them merging will work well when i come up in 18months agai!
The only good aspect of this, is that it will create the largest network in the UK by subscriber.
Hopefully that means they will have the ability to merge networks and expand their coverage and signal quality to match or beat Vodafone.
I do however suspect Orange to be the dominant part of this merger, which is bad news as far as packages and tarrifs are concerned, especially for data users like myself.
Increased 3G coverage will be nice, but dont want oranges data charges or strtucture.
Yay, so now I only need to avoid 3 mobile operators instead of 4.
3 FTW!
Darn, looks like I need to change mobile carriers, I've always steered well clear of anything Orange-based because they've always seemed a sleazy and untrustworthy company.

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
:-( T-Mobile are good, I have an O2 contract and T-Mobile PAYG. I would never touch Orange or 3 with a barge pole. The merger will put me off though. I wonder if the Orange Wednesdays will apply to T-Mobile customers though?
