If you take this tariff,
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher...al_sim_only_pm
you can add web n walk to it for an extra £7.50 pm making £15 pm total (the
trick is to phone T-Mobile CS to get the tariff rather than getting it via
the web). You can port your OVP number on to it by getting your PAC from
Orange, then phoning the T-Mobile number porting line on 0845 412 5000. You
do not have to port in when you join, any time up to 6 months after
connection will do.
