I want to switch from Orange PAYG to Vodafone PAYG

How do I go about it, and how much will Orange charge me?

Thanks

Take out your Orange sim and replace it with a Vodafone one.

If you need to, take your phone to a shop to get it unlocked. This will cost you around £10. The sim card will cost you around £10.

Total = approx £20.

Vodafone are doing free SIMS, just go to there website. If you want to keep your number, call Orange for a PAC and pass this to Vodafone customer services who will transfer your old number.

Only an idiot would go and pay £10 for a SIM card, when they're free on the internet

To Switch from Orange to Vodafone you need to do the following:

1) Get hold of a Vodafone SIM card - www.vodafone.co.uk/shop

2) Take the Orange SIM card out of your phone and try the Vodafone SIM card in it's place. If it works, your done. If it says something about a 'network lock' or something similar, you could get the phone unlocked for free via a code - but it depends on what phone you've got so if you tell us we'll know if it can be done for free or not. If it can't, take the phone to a local independant mobile phone shop or market stall.

3) If you want to keep your current Orange mobile number and transfer it to your new Vodafone account, call Orange on 07973 100 450 and ask them for a PAC code (Porting Authorisation Code). Then call Vodafone and give them this PAC code and your number will be transferred usually within 5 days.
