O2, Orange & Three

I have just started using my ThreeToGo account again to sell a car and
noticed that my phone was switching from Three, to O2 and then to Orange.
WTF is going on? Are Three now using O2 and Orange for GSM coverage now?

Yes
Orange has taken over from O2 for 2g UK roaming.
3 got a better deal from Orange

Old 3 contracts/3Pay, 2G on O2, being transferred to Orange.
All new/recent 3, 2G on Orange.

roaming.
