My contracts with vodafone are up for renewal but I'm not sure what to do.

I could just upgrade and get new handsets and carry on as I am but I noticed other companies are offering a free PS3 with some of there deals, As it happens I am on the lookout for a dvd player for home so a PS3 would be ideal for this, trouble is vodafone don't do deals with free gifts so I would have to go to phones4u or carphonewarehouse.

Would this be possible as I still want to be on the vodafone network but not deal with them direct.

would I still get to keep the same numbers?

Do I need to tell vodafone I'm leaving or let p4u/cpwh take care of it?

    I wouldnt bother, its often cheaper to get a "free" gift elsewhere. What Carphone and P4U is give offer you a bad handset with no mins and texts and chuck in a bonus. Over the course of 18 or 24 months you more than pay for the price of a PSP etc, sometimes twice or three times as much. Initially it seems great but trust me, its a huge mistake. Seriously do the maths and dont be afraid to shop around.
