Re: T-Mobile merger - the fallout begins
Text worked perfectly first time for my folks. Get the usual <pers> text back like when you set up voicemail and then another about a minute later confirming they can now roam onto Orange the next time they turn the phone on.

Roaming is a good temporary solution, but not without pitfalls, as phones will only roam to Orange when there is no T-Mobile signal. At their location they get 2-3 bars upstairs but only 1 downstairs with calls not reliable on T-Mobile. When the phone is forced onto Orange they get solid 5 bars all over the house and can use it anywhere. Some will find this very frustrating.

So looks like it will be a case of "Everything but not quite Everywhere" for a while to come. Roll on full integration.
