Hey guys, I have a number porting issue which I hope some of you can help me out with...
Ordering an iPhone next month but, due to keeping my Vodafone contract* on simultaneously I have questions on how the number porting will work...I included additional info at the bottom for those who wish to understand why I'm gonna have two contracts going.
My brother has a Pay & Go SIM and is with O2, I want to let him avail of my Vodafone contract (as it would save him money) when I get my iPhone:
Now instead of changing the account holder name from mine to my brothers - what I am aware I could do is just keep it in my name and have my brother pay me for the contract each month but whatever the case I need the following to happen:
* My number ported from my Vodafone contract over to O2 for my iPhone.
* My brother's current O2 Pay & Go number ported to my current Vodafone contract.
My question is - can the above two points be done? I thought there may be complications in getting his number to my Vodafone contract given my number is 'leaving' it to be with my iPhone so my Vodafone account would surely be without a number briefly?
Please help & thanks for reading!

*Additional Info:
I've been with Vodafone now for 2 years - into my second contract which expires in January '09 (had an 18 month contract, now in a 12 month one which was negotiated by me after I was for leaving when the first one was up - I negotiated well and so do not want to just give this contract up - my brother may as well have it) What I wish to do is 'give' my Vodafone contract to my brother (who currently is on O2, with a Pay & Go SIM) because I will be ordering an iPhone.
