4G: play your part in bringing it to the UK

We want to bring the benefits of 4G to UK customers. 4G will bring superfast mobile internet speeds to compatible smartphones, tablets and mobile broadband devices. We’ve already trialled 4G in Cornwall and Cumbria and are currently awaiting approval from our industry regulator Ofcom.

smart signal sharing is complete

Orange and T-Mobile have completed the final stage of the ‘big switch-on’ for smart signal sharing. This means that when a customer’s device starts to lose Orange signal, it will automatically check whether the T-Mobile network has better coverage and seamlessly switch to that network.

If no 3G coverage is available, the device will seamlessly switch to 2G signal and will go back on to 3G when either network comes back into range – even if the customer is on a call or in the middle of downloading a web page.
