The eventual plan is to merge Orange's 3G cells into the current 3/T-Mobile network (apparently their 3G network merger has just finished), IIRC. So it'll be three networks sharing the same radio access network, although T-Mobile/Orange may choose to merge the rest of their networks too. You can currently roam on GSM between one network and the other, but it isn't a full integration (so you have to lose signal on one network before it looks for the other, your phone may think it's abroad and warn you about data costs, and it doesn't hand calls/data over when it switches networks) Shaun -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
