Help with switching from O2 to Orange without paying for two simultaneous contracts

My wife's contract with 02 runs out next Monday, and she is planning to switch to Orange. However she wants to sort out the contract today so that she can still qualify for the Top Cashback deal. (she is sticking with an Iphone) Is there any way that she can do so but ask for the new Orange contract to start next Tuesday? Obviously she does not want to pay for both contracts for the next week. Also in terms of keeping her number, can this process be completed in the week available? Sorry if this has all been asked a thousand times before, but an answer would be really appreciated.

    Have you already got the PAC from O2, and at what point are you through your monthly O2 billing cycle?
    If you don't already have the PAC, then you're probably going to end up giving O2 a month notice anyway.
  • All she needs is pac code then transfer and that cancels the o2 contract

    It only cancels the contact when the PAC is activated, not before. If the PAC is not taken, the contract continues as before.
