Switching a rolling contract to an 18/24 month contract.

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone could offer any help with the following situation. Basically, my parents and I have agreed it's time for me to start paying my own contract. At present they're paying for a 30 day rolling sim only contract on Orange, and when I take over I'd like to upgrade this to a handset based contract (sp 18 or 24 month contract) but I'd like to stay on orange (they have very good reception where I live and my gf is also on Orange so magic numbers) and I'd like to keep my number. So do I need to transfer the current contract into my name, then upgrade it, or could I take out a contract and then transfer my current number to the new phone?
