    Get a completely separate new deal from a dealer that will cashback part of their commission

    If you really want to keep your number ask them to send you a payg sim for it and use this for incoming calls, the new one for outgoing

    This should save you roughly £300
  • at the moment I am on Orange with an O2 200 OVP plan at £30 pm and am able to upgrade. After soem haggling they offered 320 mins pm for the same money with an upgrade to an Orange SPV Phone.

    When I looked at OneStopPhoneShop I saw I could get the same phone on O2 400 OVP (400 Xmins and 50sms) for £45pm but with a £300 cashback - so really £20pm ! When I phone Orange up to tell them I could just hear a loud gulp followed by "sorry we can't match that".

    But the question is - does anyone know how I can swap my current Orange phone number somewhere else, then port it back to my new Orange phone. Obviously this isn't an upgrade and so I do need to port the number if I can.

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks
