T-Mobile / Orange change to Everything Everywhere, any reception issues?

[Anonymouse72]

our 2 year contract with T-mobile is due for renewal shortly. if they can offer a similar plan to what we have now with the phones we want (probably 2 x Samsung Galaxy s3), then i was going to stay with them. however, i've been reading of lots of problems with reception when the switch to EE has occurred.

i dont really understand the technicalities of this, surely they're just using the same network/antennas as now?

i don't want to end up with 2 shiny new phones that can't be used & tied in on a new 2 year contract, so any feedback/info would be gratefully received

I have been having problems since I was switched over with reception problems same as my husband. I am sure it will resolve soon though *I hope*

No issues here, and we have 4 phones on EE (2 x orange, 2 x t-mobile)

We used to have a lot of issues with the t-mobile signal, but since they merged the 2 connections (using orange when not in a good t-mobile area) it has really improved.

50/50 then it would seem. i did find a page on their EE site yesterday with the business options for signal boosters & various other gizmos (for indoor boosting i believe).

i'll have a search round at the time as the offers seem to change so quickly but our experience with T-Mobile has been fine over the past 2 years.

thanks

I think it depends which location you are because sometimes the reception is fine but in some places it is terrible.
