Pac question

[B@Th*nG]

I'm currently on Vodafone, the best deals i can find for the Galaxy SII and HTC Sensation XE are also on Vodafone on Mobilephonesdirect.co.uk for £26 a month.

Vodafone themselves don't offer the XE and won't let me have the SII for £26 a month and I know I can't keep my number if I go Vodafone -> Vodafone. so can I get my PAC code, leave Vodafone, then go to giffgaff/talkmobile for a month, then leave them, get my PAC code and go for one of those deals?

if i go with somebody like mobilephonesdirect would it be best to take out the contract, get the phone THEN transfer the number and cancel the old contract? it's just i've heard horror stories of people taking out a new contract, asking to get it ported across and it not happening and them losing their old number

when i get to the 2nd page it asks me if i'm currently with Vodafone and asks me to enter my mobile phone number, is this enough to migrate me across? It doesn't specify:

Would i need to contact Vodafone and tell them that i'm leaving before doing this? My contract has expired completely

i phoned MPD and they have said that they CAN'T transfer me, but only because that is technically an "upgrade" and existing customers don't get as good deals. looks like i will have to push it onto a PAYG sim first then
