I can see a VM customer SIM only deal that would suit me but the coverage map for T-Mobile which appears to be the default Virgin network is very patchy near my home which is where it would mostly be used. Orange looks to be better although I never trust any of the mobile coverage maps as I've found all of them to be optimistic.

My question is will the phone (plain old 2G one my wife mainly uses for texting) be likely to seamlessly switch over to Orange if the signal is poor rather than non-existent or would I do better digging deeper into my pocket and getting something O2/Vodafone based which both do work well here.
