I'm sorry If this has been posted elsewhere, I'm not a frequent user of DS forums!
It is my understanding that with the Orange/ T-mobile merger, if the signal for one disappears completely, (If you've got one bar on Orange where you might get three bars of signal strength on T-mobile, it doesn't matter), it is only under this circumstance the mobile device seeks connection to the other network.
I was just wondering whether it would be viable (and allowed) to go into the network settings of the mobile and manually set the network to that with the best signal strength?
Many thanks and apologies for the lengthly query.

The speed was great and the coverage excellent. They didn't have a great choice of handsets though!
