hi there i currently have a blackberry bold and my upgrade date is 1st of may. my question is i'm on orange and got my phone from carphone warehouse but can i change to phones 4 u as they have a cheaper tariff and a phone i like, the Motorola moto x ? but i need to keep my number for business purposes.

You can change to whoever you like. Call up Orange and tell them you want your PAC (port authorisation code), so you can move your number to the new contract via Phones 4U. Once you've got the code, go to Phones 4 U and sign up and you give the code to them and they'll get your number ported.

Might be worth calling the retentions team on your current network and see what deals they can do you (sometimes you can get a better deal if you say you are thinking of leaving rather than going somewhere else and also its less hassle).
