It connects ot ATT and T-Mobile and is the same on both.

Has anyone else that is roaming with Orange in the USA noticed this recently? It was fine a month ago. Phone calls and texts are fine.
Can you use/do you have wifi on your Berry and can you use this instead to get mails when near a hotspot? I realise that this isn't perfect by any means but at least you would get something. I agree Orange are a bit cr@p when it comes to customer service/reception in my locations in the UK.
