I recently changed to Orange as well, and - while generally now the 
reception here is a lot better, they did fuck up big time after a couple 
of weeks - that time, my mobile all of a sudden started saying "no signal" 
all the time, and when I called my own (ported in) number, I was getting a 
message "All our lines are currently busy" - and a couple of hours later 
switched to "you've dialled an incorrect number".

Based on that, Orange claimed that my USIM was broken, and I needed it 
replaced   (seems nonsensical - if the USIM was broken, I'd get 
"subscriber cannot be reached at this moment" or something, but nothing 
along the lines that the number was incorrect.

Anyway - they exchanged the USIM, and after that took close to 4 days 
restoring service to my phone... :-(

(...which is a REAL pain in the ass, when you're just looking for a new 
job, and your CV contains your mobile number - comes across as really 
professional, if you list a number that gives you "You've dialled an 
incorrect number"... :-(


Anyway - now it's back working again - so my gripes are a bit smoothened 
at the moment... ;-)


...still - no new job in sight yet... :-(   (Anyone know of any good 
positions for an experienced Unix [~15yrs], C [~10yrs], C++ [~2yrs], Java 
[ ~6yrs ] Analyst/Developer ?)
