HarryBosch Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm due an upgrade and am after an IPhone Not bothered about getting the new one necessarily, is the last one still ok? I'm with Orange too and can't ever get reception in the office or at home which effectively renders my phone useless. Strange thing is my wife is on T-Mobile and gets great reception at home on what is supposedly the same network?! Does anyone know which networks include 0845, 0844 etc in their inclusive minutes?? (business or personal contract)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the people who are having these issues, check your phone is set to pick up a network signal automatically (not manually), otherwise it won't switch to the other network where yours fails.

opinions4u Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 If anybody wants to get on to the iPhone 4s please buy it via the PlayerShare Webshop at www.spendandraise.com/xtra. It can earn PlayerShare a very easy £100 a pop. Here's a link to Vodafone (that will earn the commission) http://www.spendandr...o.php?rb=3-1257 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 In regards to my earlier question regarding Orange: http://everythingeverywhere.com/2011/10/10/orange-t-mobile-customers-to-benefit-from-3g-in-more-places-as-everything-everywhere-extends-the-%e2%80%9cbig-switch-on%e2%80%9d/ Posted 10 October 2011 Orange and T-Mobile customers – already sharing 2G signals – to benefit from 3G signals from both networks. Everything Everywhere, the UK’s biggest communications company, today announced that millions of UK mobile customers will benefit from faster internet and data speeds in more places, for no extra cost, thanks to the latest advancements in their mobile network evolution plan. The “big switch-on”, launched last year, initially allowed Orange and T-Mobile customers to access each others’ network’s to make calls and send texts in more places than ever before. From next week, the next phase in this programme, the “big 3G switch-on”, will start to roll out to all 27 million Orange and T-Mobile mobile customers, making it possible for customers to use the 3G signals from both networks, not just their host network. This will benefit customers by offering faster internet and data access, in more places across the UK than before. As part of Everything Everywhere’s ambition to build out both the best 2G and 3G network coverage in the UK, additional 2G improvements will also be introduced that allow customers to keep talking in more places. Already, customers of each brand have shown the value in having access to each other’s networks, with 1.7 million days worth of calls (or almost 41 million hours) having been made on the other brand’s network, and almost five billion extra text messages having been sent and received since October last year – benefitting over 20 million people across the country. Starting next week, the 3G switch-on will roll-out, region by region, to all Orange and T-Mobile customers, over the next few months. Customer charges remain the same when using the other network’s signal. Olaf Swantee, CEO of Everything Everywhere, said: “This is a significant achievement and demonstrates the latest milestone in our network vision and customer promise – to provide more things, to more people in more places than any other company in Britain. Customers are always on the move and demanding instant access to information wherever they are. Not only will customers be able to talk in places they weren’t able to before, they’ll also now be able to access the internet, social networks or download emails at improved speeds, in more places.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
