Orange/Idea has never had "MVNO-like" brands. All the brands share the same numbering, top-ups and one can change one to another. In fact, they are just different tariffs.
As to Era and Plus brands, I think that a ranking of "MVNO fakeness" can be made
1) Heyah - top-ups and numbering separate from Tak Tak, no possibility to change to Tak Tak or vice versa, SIMs & top-ups never sold at Era dealers
2) Sami Swoi - top-ups and numbering separate from Simplus, no possibility to change to Simplus or vice versa, SIMs & top-ups sold at Plus dealers.
3) 36.6 - top-ups shared with Simplus, numbering separate from Simplus, no possibility to change to Simplus or vice versa, SIMs & top-ups sold at Plus dealers.
4) iPlus simdata - top-ups and numbering shared with Simplus, no possibility to change to Simplus or vice versa, SIMs & top-ups sold at Plus dealers.
