ready wipe out rivals? not in my lifetime. after having the worst customer experience with Orange a couple of years ago, I promise not to make any dealing with that company or any of its subsidiaries. I'm in O2 now and what a joy to be part of O2 family.

            V-dan, 08 Sep 2009i heard a rumour that voda were merging with o2, this prob ... moreVoda and O2 are only merging their cellular networks. A complete merger would be almost a monopoly, dont think the goverment would allow it.

                    Orange suck, wish id never left Vodafone. Ive never had so many dropped calls in my life! I hope this really does improve the network coverage indoors or ill be telling orange to beat it when my contracts up!

                      Oh My!!! This is the awesomest news I've seen since I read about the new N97 firmware update just a few seconds ago. I'm a Tmobile US user and this news is awesome even to me. TMobile seems to have finally gotten their act together. Hopefully this will bring Orange over to the US. Orange is awesome, Tmobile UK (had to be specific) is awesome, nothing but good can come from this.

                        Anonymous, 08 Sep 2009thats a brill idea because tmob have good plans as do orang... moreU just said t-mobile have a better signal than orange. have you hit your head LOL.

                        t-mobile are only good in cities. everywhere else is ok but lack in 3g signal. sure orange are not the best but they have a better signal across the uk than t-mobile. hense why t-mobile give you lots for your money. you pay for what you get.

                                This might raise questions about the 3 Network in the UK and whether it will respond by seeking a merger partner.
