thats a big Move there.... any of you know of this.. those who work for Tmobile or Orange??? ^_)

T-Mobile UK and Orange to merge The deal is expected to be completed by November T-Mobile UK and Orange are to merge - becoming the UK's biggest mobile phone firm with 28.4 million customers.The deal between Orange owner France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile UK will create a business with sales of 9.4bn euros (£8.2bn; $13.5bn). The merged firm will have about 37% of the UK mobile market - overtaking the current leader, Telefonica's O2. It is the second large corporate deal in two days, after Kraft Food's £10.2bn takeover proposal for Cadbury. 'Champion'T-Mobile is currently the fourth-largest mobile operator in the UK, with a 15% share of the market. O2 has a 27% share, followed by Vodafone (25%) and Orange (22%). The firms said in a joint statement that they hoped to create "a new mobile champion", adding that it was hoped the 50:50 joint venture could be signed by November. Integrating the business will cost between £600m and £800m, the firms said. This bill would include decommissioning mobile phone masts, cutting back the network of stores and streamlining other operations. DEAL IN NUMBERS 28.4m customers37% UK market share£8.2bn sales (in 2008)Source: Deutsche TelekomReturn of the deal? Savings should reach about £445m a year by 2014, they added. Deutsche Telekom said earlier this year that it was considering its options for its UK business - which has struggled to win customers in the highly competitive market - which sees five operators and several smaller players compete. Observers say that a joint venture allows the German firm to avoid the write downs it could face if forced to sell T-Mobile UK for less than it hoped. Meanwhile, for France Telecom, the deal it is a way to strengthen its position in the UK market without paying cash or taking on vastly more debt.

Voda and 02 share mastsand tmobile virgin and orange share, hense why places u get an 02 single u get a better vodafone signaland places u get a virgin and orange signal u get a better tmob.02 AND vodafone have a better range of signal in the sense of area coverage.But tmob are better in inner cities and high built up areas and basements for some reason voda never has a signal but tmob does in these circumstances.
