Port Orange PAYG to ? and back to Orange contract...?

I've had the same number that is currently on Orange PAYG for ages...I'd
like to keep it.

I got a new contract from OneStopPhoneShop on Orange- basically for the new
phone. Couldn't move my PAYG number to the contract.

So, i'm being told that I could port the PAYG number out to another network
and then back in to the Orange contract.

Yes/No? Can I do this with O2? Or would Voda be better? How long would I
have to stay on that network before requesting a PAC to go back to
Orange....?

You could have done, had you requested it prior to the connection.

You could do that.
