EE Orange/T Mobile signal
While searching to see if there was any information about EE's future 4G rollouts (I'm waiting for Warwick & Leamington Spa to go live), I came across this article instead. It says you need to have data roaming enabled to take advantage of using both Orange's & T Mobile's masts for 3G and was wondering if anyone knows how accurate that is.
I ask because before the EE rebranding I never had roaming enabled before and I would see "Orange T-Mobile 3G" instead of just "Orange 3G" every now and then. So basically the article has confused me but I now know I am not alone in noticing I don't get as good coverage as I used it. Also if anyone knows where they'll launch 4G next that'd be appreciated too. |

There was a thought the software on the iPhone 5 at the time of that article (before iOS 7) had some glitches and wasn't properly switching between the two legacy networks behind the EE name. These reports went after iOS 7 launched. In many areas you will find Orange and T-Mobile network codes still transmitted (234-33 and 234-30) as some handsets, tablets, and 3G/WiFi devices show two EE 2G, and two EE 3G networks received. iOS devices don't. In time I believe the duplication of network codes will go, but probably a long time off yet. |

It shouldn't be needed but some weird phones might benefit from it. Can't think of a single one though. All modern phones should obey the standards correctly and see both networks as "home" and not need roaming.
