Can I use Oranges 3G network with Mobile Broadband too?
Absolutely. And, like with your phone or tablet, youll still only pay the same great Virgin Mobile prices.

Re: T-Mobile merger - the fallout begins
It doesn't appear that simple or clear though?
Quote:
When will I get to use Oranges 3G network?
Were setting up everyones access to Oranges 3G network in stages. Over the next few months well get round to all our customers, and well send you a text when its ready to use.
|
what time frame does the next few months refer to?
also
Quote:
So, will I always be on the network with best signal strength, wherever I am?
Not exactly. You see, your phone will always look for the Virgin Mobile network first, whether its a 3G or 2G signal. If it cant find a Virgin Mobile signal at all, itll automatically switch to Oranges network.
|
does this refer specifically to phones or mobile broadband as well?
is there a difference when looking for the signal?

Well considering the 3G sharing was only switched on on Monday, that question and answer would be from this week
