Cancel with Orange then join them. Still cashback?

Basically, I've got an iphone with Orange and my contract is up next month. Tried haggling for a Samsung Galaxy s2 but rubbish offer. On Phones4u is a great price but it's with Orange, cheaper than what they offered me!

Could I finish with Orange then rejoin them via phones4u? Also would I have cashback of £50 via Quidco?

Thanks.

    Yes and yes.
    To keep your number you'll have to port it via another network PAYG sim.

    I do it all the time with orange and vodafone, by the way topcash is better for orange . 3 months max to pay out
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I have a contract with sky ending next month. My 30 days notice is next week. If I bought a phone on the orange network on phones4u before I end my main one next week, would there be problems?

    Thanks
