Guest amshowman Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hi, I've got an SPV E200 and the contract has expired. I want to upgrade to the C500 and I've seen a great offer at Talkworld The only problem is I can't keep my number. Any idea where I can go to get a similar deal, but keep my number? Cheers - Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squall Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 surely you camn oly upgrade your contract with the original retailer! Unless you mean cancel the contract and take out another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisJM Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 i think the only option if you wanna keep your number is orange. (or original retailer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Buy a PAYG SIM from another operator, port your number to them then port it back to your new contract. Seems a good deal you've found. Edited January 4, 2005 by Confucious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Chris, You can upgrade your phone (assuming outside the 12 month period) anywhere not just O or original retailer. Assuming that someone can be bothered; you are not a new customer so they get nought for it :) Amshowman, This is a better deal but cannot keep number http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/ourdeals...C500B&TAR=MY200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest finnil Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I'd use OneStop, but get the BT headset seperately. They've got a good deal on OVP Vodafone 200: 200 minutes/month - £30 for the year after cashback ! www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/ourdeals.php?PROV=OR&OFF=C500&TAR=V150 Alternatively check out www.needamobile.co.uk for the latest deals cheers, finnil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amshowman Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Thanks everyone for your advice. I've found this offer which looks unbeatable: £300 cashback at OneStopPhoneShop on Yourplan 400 + 400 When I spoke to Orange about upgrading my phone (and thus keeping my number) they couldn't get anywhere near this offer. Confucious - please can you let me know how I go about porting my number across? If I buy the C500 from onestopphoneshop, can I transfer my old number to, say a Tmobile PAYG phone, then port it to my new phone which would have a new Orange number? :roll: Thanks - Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 amshowman, Call Orange and ask for a PAC code (this allows you to transfer to another network). Then do as Confucious says get a PAYG sim card from another network provider. Then ask for a PAC code from them and goto OSPS. Watchout there may be a minimum term that you have to stay on your PAYG sim for..... It is a bit of hassle but worth it if you want to keep your number....
