Switch between T-Mobile & Orange (vicer versa)

[Guest rwalton159]

My phone is on T-Mobile and is fine 99% at the time for calls and the net but at work I need to swap to Orange for calls.

To swap between T-Mobile and Orange is a bit of hassle and I wondered if there was a quick way to do it.

I would appreciate some help with this please.

Thanks

If it's just an issue of signal you can now use Orange's signal too by opting in on the T-mobile website link

If you need to physically change number then I don't know you could do that without changing SIM, sorry

+1

While opt in with network selection on automatic it should switch if it loses signal :)

Thing is the signal doesn't go completely on T-Mobile and the conversation is inaudible. The process is to alter the phone settings to Orange - make the call - revert back to T-Mobile. Takes about a minute each time.

Need to go back to T-Mobile for internet / email

just text YES to 2121 and your phone will roam to Orange when the T-Mobile signal drops.

Already done but as the signal does not drop completely it does not roam to Orange.

Not a lot you can do. The criteria to switch is ONLY if the signal totally goes.

I think you're stuck doing a manual switch back and forth if you dont want to use the existing, albeit rubbish, signal.

Thanks for the reply - could do with an app / widget to short cut the process :)

Mine switches to which ever is the the stronger, i have been on t-mobile since it was Up2You at 50p a minute on One2One (about 1994'ish) and then on various T-Mobile contracts but since doing the YES text my phone has spent 75% of its life on Orange rather than T-Mobile. There is nothing to stop you telling the phone to use Orange all the time rather than T-Mobile if that would improve things.
