Orange–Mobile
Orange and T-Mobile merged a while back although they've kept the branding. One result of the merger is that last week they enabled roaming between the networks. So if you're on Orange and you're somewhere there's no Orange signal but there is a T-Mobile signal, your phone will automatically use T-Mobile without incuring extra charges. It works the other way too. It needs a SIM update to make it work so you have to get your network to send you that.

It seems to work. The Orange signal at my desk isn't great and earlier on I noticed my phone said it was using 'T-Mobile UK Orange'.
