I've heard it's T-Mobile but i would have thought that they would have used O2 asit used to be BT Cellnet anyway

Nope, you were right first time Steven.. strangely, it is T-Mobile. Have a look at this article.

Off the top of my head...

BT Mobile: T-Mobile
OneTel Mobile: Voda
Virgin Mobile: T-Mobile
Fresh (CPW): T-Mobile
Sainsbury's: O2
NTL: Orange (although this one was never marketed heavily)

Most virtual networks tend to use T-Mobile with a few notable exceptions.

MMo2 is the parent company, O2 is the trading name of the network itself.

Orange has a similar setup: Shares are traded as Orange SA, although the networks run as "Orange" or "Orange PCS"

I'll get my coat

"MM02 is 2002 in roman numerals"
Sorry to be pedantic, but it clearly is only half way there, it should be MMII
