Default Orange/ T-mobile roaming

Hi,

since the merger between Orange and T-mob, we are able to use each others network. Now, I have just signed up for this via their site https://kareena.orange.co.uk/share/

I does say you need to set network selection as auto rather than manual. I can't see this in settings - has anyone else sorted this?

Thanks

I haven't done anything with mine, just setup the share thing on the website and then followed the instructions. It works pretty well.

I had issues with T-Mobile (HSDPA) automatically switching to Orange (GPRS) whenever there was an Orange signal. Now I'm with Orange there is no such issue.

To set you DHD to find and select networks automatically follow ->
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > Select Automatically

Remember to enable "Data Roaming" if you wish to use data, this is purely 2G (GPRS) at the moment. I believe they will be rolling out 3G roaming 2011 sometime.
