The rumours that Deutsche Telekom, the owner of T-Mobile Uk have considered selling their UK operation have been circling around the press for a while now, with the 3 network being the first party touted as interested in making an offer.
Today it has emerged from sources as yet unknown, that Vodafone which currrently has a 25% UK market share, is mulling over the idea of making a bid.
So far Vodafone have declined to make a comment on the rumour, so who knows what the truth is.
If Vodafone where to complete a purchase of T-Mobile UK, Vodafone would become the largest mobile operator in the UK with a market share of 40%.
Any such move by Vodafone could be blocked by regulators.
Do you have any information to add to this story? if you do please comment

In the sun it says vodafone are going to offer 3 billion pound for t mobile. It also says Deutsche telekom havehired people to look into the options available.
How would vodafone buying tmobile be a good thing?
I hardly think they would be telling anyone if they were?
This aside, the chances of such a deal being allowed is highly unlikely and of little or no benefit to anyone if it was?
If vodafone do buy it, I don't think it will be good for the market as a whole. Vodafone will have too much of the marketshare
I cant see the regulators giving the go ahead for anything like this.
From what ive read on other blogs and forums, Vodafones customer service is terrible, i dont know what T-Mobiles is like but i would change networks if anything like this happened.
This story soon vanished from the headlines, i wonder if combining 2 huge companies with a large amount of customers, is too much of a challenge.
Im with t-mobile myself on a sim only deal and I hop vodafone don't take over as iv had issues with voda in the past!
