Will Orange and T-Mobile merge their networks, so that all mast carry both
networks? If so does anyone know when. Ideally I would like my Virgin sim to be able to connect to the local Orange mast which has a strong signal. -- Michael Chare |

Eventually they will yes. It's meant to be later this year but no news
about it recently - only the mention on the EverythingEverywhere website last month. I'm looking forward to being able to use T-Mobile on my Orange phone. -- JL "Michael Chare" wrote in message o.uk...

UK calls 10p per min, and free Voicemail Lycamobile has the most confusing website I've ever seen. Nowhere does it say what the difference is between 074 and 075. Nowhere says how long a top-up lasts. It claims that costs to UK numbers are 1p/minute yet you are recommending a service saying you prefer to pay 10p minute. Alice in Wonderland. They are pushing their new Lycamobile plus sim on O2 with more favourable rates whilst running down support for their old 075 sims on Orange. Leaving those who need Orange coverage little choice. Problem is Orange have always been a reluctant provider for Virtuals. Lycamobile 075 are easily the best virtual on Orange still offered. Currently 10p per min UK calls, free voicemail.

Currently 10p per min UK calls, free voicemail. OK so it sounds like Lycamobile 075 is rubbish and Lycamobile plus is cheaper and the way to go for most of us. Alice in Wonderland If the O2 network is OK for you, i'd recommend Giffgaff. Half price bolt ons (goodybags) till the end of August and you can stack another one before the end of that month. Their free 0800 is useful for callthroughs. The first choice when picking any deal is the network and it's coverage in the areas you want to use the phone. The greatest rate is of no use if you don't have coverage. Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of £1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK |
