Renew contract, keep existing number but get a free laptop?!?

My sister is currently with O2 via Carphone Warehouse and is out of contract. She wants 600 cross network minutes and 1,000 texts on a Blackberry 8310 with unlimited blackberry service which costs an additional £10 a month, making the total £45 a month. I have seen on here that people have got free laptops when taking out a new contract but my sister wants to keep her exisiting number.

Is it possible to get a laptop when keeping your existing number? :confused:

    Worth checking with o2 CPW retentions what deals they can do (sometimes can match the new customer offers) - if not, port the number onto PAYG SIM to close this account and set up a new account to get the laptop (and new handset).
