I called Orange about an upgrade to a new SPV-M3100 and they pointed out that I'd get a better deal if I joined as a new customer, since I was on an ancient (and long since cancelled) tariff that didn't give me any sort of a discount for that model.
I wanted to retain my old Orange number so I suggested porting out to PAYG and then rejoining on a contract and they agreed that was the way to go. They said to just call them again after I activated the PAYG SIM that they will send just before my contract ends.
