Leaving Orange

Hi, my contract expired on 2 October, and I want to leave Orange and go to O2, so I can the iPhone via a cashback deal. Someone mentioned to me something about a 30 day notice period, even though my contract is up - is this right?

    Your contract isn't up. You still have a legally binding contract with Orange, but you are now passed the minimum period (12/18/24) months. You have to give 30days notice as per your contract.

    Correct,

    Also, If you want to keep your phone number, request a PAC code instead of a cancellation. When the PAC code is used with 02, your number will be transferred and your old contract ended.

    If you don't use the PAC code in 30 days it expires and you will either have to request a new PAC code or issue 30 day cancellation notice.
