Compulsory purchase of credit with new handsets.

Hey all,

If I was to go to Orange store and buy a phone, would the compulsory credit be attatched to the new handset number.. or would I be able to use the credit on any Orange PAYG number?

Also, if I was to buy the phone online and get my Quidco, would the included airtime be sent pre-applied or could it be used on any number as a voucher?

I need the phone to exchange for Airmiles, so in true MSE style its all a bit sneaky really. :D

Ta.

    With Orange it doesn't matter - as long as both SIM cards are registered in your name, you can ring Orange customer services and they will transfer the credit as you wish.
