rothlad11 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 How's your signal? I've noticed now for a few weeks that the signal on my Orange phone is not as good as it was, and I'm suffering more dropped calls as a result. 3g signal also next to non-existent at the moment. Just interested to see if this is a problem with my phone, or a problem with other Orange users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannahp85 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Wait. It's not your phone. I'm at my mtes house, all 3 of us are with orange and we were having this very convo! My friends rung orange about this. Just orange masts are fine. But orange and virgin masts have an issue. Which is why some areas are unaffected and some have 3G death. She's been told to go 2g for perfect signal, albeit slow internet connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzyblonde Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 interesting albeit that I am a phone dinosaur, been with orange since 1999 but have been thinking that it is not as good as they used to be. I had expected better performance since the merge with t mobile but not seen the improvement that they lauded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlades Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Urrrrggggh had a bad experience with Orange a few agos ago. Their signal is a joke (although they have teamed up with T-Mobile recently?). Definitely their signal and not your phone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlades Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 PS - I'm with o2 now - never have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannahp85 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) i have also been with Orange since 1999 i think. (except for one year i went to t-mob back in the day when their signal was garbage) and I've never had a problem with signal untl recently. But for me, i can still make calls and never drop out, and can still connect to 2G or 3G internet... its just not as good as i was. (although might be experiencing some missed calls that dont ring but when that has happened ive been out in the garden, but i would have thought i heard it, but quite possibly not). but something to do with virgin media on the masts and making Orange go funny. Although Virgin use t-mobile, so surely its a t-mobile problem.. but then shouldnt we be on Orange-T-mob half the time then? It confuses me a bit, and I'm a phone geek! But apparently its happened in 5 other places, so 6 places in total. I'll find out more. Edited June 24, 2011 by hannahp85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm not sure if it works the same the other way, but I had to register to use Orange signals with my Tmobile phone. Now a lot of the time my phone shows I have Orange signal, rather than Tmobile. If you do have to register to do so, have you all tried that? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannahp85 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 yeah I'm sharing networks, which helps a lot, as i get Orange signal all round my house, but in it i get orange-t-mob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
