Tranferring PAYG to new contract on same network

Hello.

If you order a contract phone on the same network from somewhere like Phones4u, can you still keep your existing number? I know that Phones4u won't port within the same network but there is a "Keep your number" section on the 02 website but this only mentions if you've bought the phone from 02 so I'm not sure.

Thank you in advance.

    O2 and Vodafone definitely do this. There were reports that Orange can do this too, but this may depend on your luck.
    You can always do this in two steps via another network PAYG sim.
