This does not apply to 3G services or future 4G services, the T-Mobile 3G network was merged with Hutchison 3G's (3 mobile) and the infrastructure is called MBNL, Orange customers do not have access to it and instead Orange 3G has its own infrastructure which is smaller, Virgin Mobile customers won't be able to use that, so if you're thinking of using the Orange 3G signal then you will find that it will say no access or not allowed.

4G services will probably be leased from a completely different company, a company called UK Broadband has already approached Virgin Mobile about this.
