Cancelling Orange contract

I am on a 12 month contract with Orange using a Sony Ericsson k800i.

At the moment I am just awaiting month 12 bill, to claim my last installment of cashback from E2save(which has gone smoothly so far). So I am thinking of taking out another contract, Dialaphone seem to have some good cashback deals on the Sony Ericsson k810i, roughly about the price I am paying at the moment (£16 per month with cashback taken into consideration for 200 minutes) on O2.

I will need to cancel the Orange contract before soon, so how much notice do I give them and should I do it immediately after I receive my 12th bill? Could I also port my number from Orange to O2?

Just another question, my wife needs a new phone and is on PAYG now with O2. She is fancying my K800i, but can I get this unlocked to take a O2 PAYG sim or would it be better to just get an Orange PAYG sim, she does not really want to change her number.

Cheers
Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!
