I'm due for an upgrade and Hmm, Best Buys is closing?

So I want to get rid of my Crappy Motorola Dext that I got from Phones4u 21 months ago, the Wi-Fi hasn't worked on for about a year and I have to use the speaker phone to make calls oh and the battery cover is missing.

The Sony Xperia pro is the phone that catches my eye, although I can't seem to find that anywhere. I can't seem to find it in any of the shops let alone on Orange.
Anyway It looks like I'll have to get The Sony Xperia pro Mini, It's £20.50 a month in the orange store but when I told them It was £15.50 from Phones4U (Who and I don't want to go back to and also it was out of stock) They said I could have it for £15.50 a month, but with half the data. Anyway being that Best Buys phones are the Car Phone Warehouse, could I exploit this?

24x£15.50=£372

Buy it on PAYG from O2 for £130.
Use with sim-only chitter-chatter 100+100+Unltd/500Mb for 1x£6 (will need unlocking)
£130+24x£6=£274

Alt : giffgaff 1x£10 (no need to unlock), talkmobile 1x£8 or 6x£8 (will need unlocking)

I'd probably also need a new number and lose my Magic numbers.

Porting number is not a problem. Only you know how valuable your magic numbers are, but both chitter-chatter and talkmobile plans give you more minutes than Orange.
