Porting number to pay as you go

Am just about to leave a 24 month Orange contract and have my PAC code.

Can I use this to change to a pay as you go service? I'm seriously considering buying a new phone and using a new sim as was stung by Orange putting their prices up twice in my contract.

If anyone can recommend a smartphone/sim deal too that would be great. I use quite a few mins (200+) and would like a decent data allowance too.

too many comps..not enough time!

    Yes you can port to PAYG.

    Have a look at some of the virgin sim only offers on 30 days contracts.

    Thanks I will.

    Can anyone recommend a smartphone? I have a HTC desire and it is a bit knackered so would like to get a new one.

    The question makes no sense without saying what your budget and/or requirements are.
    There are a few very good Huawei phones around below £150is mark.
    Search the board for 'Huawei'.
