Standard marketing reply to cover all bases then. Means nothing operationally. They also use the word "may" not "will".

Seriously: If Orange & T-Mobile were removing sites across their respective networks "en masse" in advance of incall handover, would dropped call rates and complaints to both networks not be dramatically increasing? Why is Virgin the only MVNO on Orange/T-Mobile claiming this? There are several other VNOs using one of the two networks.

I am not doubting there may be isolated individual examples of sites being decommissioned due to legal/rent issues and maybe not being replaced immediately, but then this has been happening for years and is part & parcel of estates management for the big UK networks. Virgin seem to be suggesting that some of these cases are directly linked to the network consolidation. It is that, that I'm suggesting is nonsense.
