T-Mobile UK and Orange UK to start sharing their 3G networks Comments

ever since orange and t mobile have been sharing,i have found that my signal coverage has gone poor. i was told that dual locations where reduced to one cell site and both t mobile/orange shared one mass. also have been told that the network have capcity issues with 3g handsets which causes your mobile to be kicked off 3g to 2g and results in lower data access. Will this get worse now with sharing the 3G sites???

The diffrences in single between the two companies is massive. I get 3mbits with Orange but their coverage is pretty poor while T-Mobiles is good but they limit bandwith to 300kbits.

AnonD-16764, 12 Oct 2011I agree DITCH FOREIGN CALL CENTRES......they deprive local people work and are USELESS....no a... moreumm.. a one off bad experience and you are compeltely against it? Orange Customers are mainly handled and taken care of by Offshore centres.. and as per the onshore team members, including me.. believe me they are not all that bad, not bad at all

Never had a problem with Orange. I once switched to Vodafone and it was one of the worst decisions I ever made.
And we're already using T Mobiles network.

Both companies are I feel at the best mean with their returns policy...so make a good match....ditto not so good call centres at times. As for amalgamation of network.....what a waste of cash duplicating cell areas when many are not adequately covered. Be better to nationalize the infrastructure and rent it to cell phone companies.

I'd just be happy with getting a connection/signal that is good. Living here in a UK city (Nottingham) I am stunned by how poor network coverage is in certain areas even though the companies say there shouldn't be any problems (even on their network area maps it says all is well with full strength) We've tried several makes of phones on different networks and still get problems in the city!!!!
If they want to do anything they should listen to their customers when they have a problem and don't stick their head in the sand ignoring it.

orange and t-mobile joint venture = shut down over 5000 masts combinded, it still prefrences your network so if poor coverage does not auto switch only if NO coverage = poor customer expierence still. All call centres have foriegn over flows and yes three uk is worst ( i worked for them ) O2 is probably best followed by vodafone then t-mobile, orange and three. Over the last eight years worked for all but one of these companies. Network sharing is a good idea in principle, not so good in practice.

It's a lot better when you get through to someone in the UK.
As for offshore call centres, you haven't experienced shocking until you've spoken to 3's.

Anonymous, 12 Oct 2011well said they dont understand english !Mate, tell me about it. The other day they told me they would ring me back at 1300 in the UK. I waited until 1800 then phoned kicking off. Sure enough they said the manager would ring me before close at 2200. 2145 i rang them kicking off. I was then told that the girl who was supposed to phone me, was on her "lunch" break............at 2200?? So i said, "And how would that be possible" in which she replied, its day time. EEERRRRRR No its really not love.
