Yup, I'm signed up and activated earlier this afternoon.

Done, nice find

[Stephen C]

Can't seem to figure out the settings needed on my Hero.

You shouldn't need to change anything if it's all at default.

When i tried to sign up yesterday i got the text saying to text them saying YES.

After half a dozen of attempts in which i got a message back saying "That there was a problem and they were looking into it and to try again later".

When i finally got a non error message reply, they said that they'd send me a text confirming when i can pick up the orange signal.
I've heard nothing back from then since.

I can manually connect to the orange signal but i haven't had a chance to try it really automatically.

Just wondering if anyone else didn't get the final text or should i send YES again to make sure.

In that case, it does nothing and wont connect to T-mobile manually, I get "your sim card does not allow connection to this network".

I never had any reply after sending the "YES" text.

[Guppy]

After I sent the "YES" text to Orange this morning they sent me a text back a few hours later saying something to the effect of "We have completed the change you requested".

[Stephen C]

Cheers Guppy, guessing that's why it's not working as yet.. did do it a fair few hours ago though.

I did this earlier this afternoon and had the same reponse as Guppy, although it took about 1/2 hour before the response

You also have to reboot the phone according to Orange

[Singh400]

I got Yes --> We have completed the upgrade you asked for --> Reboot your phone for the changes to take place.

I got Yes --> We have completed the upgrade you asked for --> Reboot your phone for the changes to take place.

I got that but it didn't work untill I got a message saying "Hello just turn your phone on and off.." over 8 hours later at around 4am. Working now though, actually have a decent signal

[WillUK]

this is even better tmobile already has a good connection compared to 02

[Bunjiweb]

I signed up, went through the text message activation and am getting good roaming on 'Orange T-Mobile' on my HTC Desire.

I'm on T-Mobile and got a response within about a minute when I replied to 2121 stating 'YES'. I sorted it out mere minutes ago in fact. More single coverage is always good Thanks Guppy!
