I wonder when we will get T-Mobile Tuesdays like Orange Wednesdays at the cinema?
I do wonder where this is heading. Combining the networks is one thing, but unless they are going to phase out one brand over the other, then I don't see the point in having dual branded shops.
I would have thought it would make sense to have one brand business or professional oriented, and the other consumer oriented. But I don't know which way round you would do it.
I would just drop the t-mobile name, simples...
About dropping the name..
Depends...I mean just who is the bigger fish?
Isn't T-Mobile big in Europe and is deutche telecom in effect Germany's BT?
I know Orange is bigger in the UK, but what is its history?
One thing i'd like to know is, can you use a t-mob sim in an orange phone now? :P or vice versa.
yea, I thought the point was that they could take on o2 and Vodafone better as one company (IIRC T-Mobile was struggling to make any gains and was at one point up for sale).Quote:

T-Orange or Orange Mobile anyone?!
Both companies are meant to be merging into the "Everything Everywhere" company name soon. We'll probably start to see the name emerge next year in the High Street. I remember them saying the transition will take about 18 months or so and that was about 6 months ago.
I thought Everything Everywhere was just going to be the parent company as opposed to the actual brand consumers will see. I could easily be very wrong though :)
