With a sincere intention to allow their customers to reap the benefits of 3G signals form both T-Mobile and Orange, parent company Everything Everywhere is going to launch its "big 3G switch-on" service.

Scheduled to start next week, the big 3G switch-on will provide T-Mobile and Orange customers with wider 3G mobile broadband coverage.

Everything Everywhere chief executive Olaf Swantee said that the new service would offer more things to more customers in more places in the UK.

Speaking on the topic, Swantee said, "Not only will customers be able to talk in places they weren't able to before, they will also now be able to access the Internet, social networks or download emails at improved speeds in more places."

In a similar move last year, T-mobile and Orange allowed their customers share networks for SMS and 2G voice services.

T-Mobile and Orange teamed up in 2010 through Everything Everywhere, a joint venture between their parent companies France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom.
