Orange > EE

[Jack]

Had a text from Orange last night saying they're switching over to EE, bounce phone to update etc - usual stuff. Since then I've had crap signal and no data connection (previously used to get full signal and a fast data connection, one good thing about Bristol is its got pretty decent mobile coverage lol)

Anyone else on Orange been booted over to the EE network and having connection problems?

[Edd]

O2 ftw

[John]

Switched off and on again? Mine is much better on EE.

[Edd]

Is that the new network with 4g?

[Hobbit]

O2 ftw

And the most pointless post of the day award goes to...

Got my text through yesterday, reset the phone and haven't noticed any difference.

[Jack]

Yeah, done a reboot, its now showing EE. Signal dropped out prior to doing the reboot though, whilst it was showing Orange. I was lazy and didn't do it straight away lol

There's a transmitter about 200 metres from where I'm sat right now so I should have pretty good connection, but its still showing no data and 2/4 bars (I know the bars thing is pointless, but still)

It wasn't that pointless really as all I had was signal troubles with orange, switched to o2, never a problem, so o2 FTW

[Hobbit]

Did Jack ask what provider to switch to as he was having trouble with orange? :roll:

And I was with Opoo before orange and found thier signal to be useless, and that was when I was travelling up and down the country not sat at home in Bridgwater seeing how many pointless replies I could make over the internet...

[Nova-nation]

My signal is exactly the same... Crap because I'm in Cornwall lol

[Jack]

Same as in no data?

I know the switch to EE has been on the cards for a while, but didn't realise 'faster connection' = no connection lol

[Edd]

Tried doing factory reset? Pain I known but OK if you backed up contents on iTunes, kies or what ever it's called for other phones

I had to do it few months back cause of no data signal

[pie]

since the swopped

ive lost signal, no connection its crap tbh

rand them up and they say the change aint fully up n working yet lol

Yeah, Android market saves all your apps and things, Astro can do a backup of content as well.

Didn't really want to do a factory reset as its effort and I'm lazy lol Although if Pie is having the same problem... and he's only over the water from me lol

Might give customer services a call later, but Orange CS are terrible so I'll try and avoid that if possible!

Strange, my mate has this EE on his iphone 4 an struggles, I'm receiving 3G and something showing H+ what's that??

[Stuart]

HSPDA or something.... its meant to be 7.6mbps.

[Andy]

My signal on tmobile last night (oranges partner now) was non existant,rebooted my phone,and got about 10messages through at once lol

[Benn]

Got the letter but no change over, Mrs new phone shows EE with full signal and data.

[Spudly]

I did the software update to iOS6 when it came out a few weeks back, my iPhail 4 has been showing EE since and my signal is fine :p


For the dumbasses that dont know, EE means 'Everything Everywhere' wonder if thats a rehashed quote from Air America lol

[Lewis.]

My phone, and my gf's changed over last week, since then I've had piss poor signal, and almost non existant data. going to ring them and give them a round of ****s this week

[Jack]

I have data now :) Same kinda speed as previous tbh. Although my uploads are faster now lol

[edit] did a speed test, 100kbps down, 1.8mbps up LOL

[raf24]

Mine changed to EE after the ios 6 update,didnt really notice much difference apart from sometimes its EE other times its orange on the network display thingy.

[hotrod]

I got a letter about a month ago saying they were changing over but still nothing! lol

Used to be on 0poo but binned them off through loss of signal but our lass stayed on and a year later she still looses her signal! lol

Not had any problem with orange but hope this isn't a sign of things to come! :(

[16xe_chris]

I've swapped to EE a couple of weeks ago and noticed that the data was slow to start with but everything is fine now.

Guys, let me shine a light on this, working for one of the before mentioned providers (T-Mobile) in the Netherlands. What happens is that Orange and T-Mobile merge their radio networks, so they need to redimension their local MHz spectrum also. They need to fine tune that after switch over.

Running new iOS6 and then showing EE is purely admistrative as the predefined providerlist in iOS6 is updated from TMUK and Orang UK to EE. Network coverage isn't influenced by that.
