Sorry to spam, just in case anyone didnt see what I posted ( it got buried pretty fast by the response to mrdelgibbons )
here it is again, curious to know what you think:
I got this email from MPD:
Dear Mr *************
Order No. ******
Thank you for your order.
To move your existing mobile number ************* to the Vodafone network from your existing network well require a PAC code. If you dont have a PAC code its easy to obtain one by calling your existing network. For information on how to do this, please see keeping your number on our website ( http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/...eepNumber.aspx ) which includes a list of network telephone numbers.
Alternatively we can connect your new phone with a brand new Vodafone number and dispatch the handset immediately.
Is that bold part right there worth getting excited about, or am I just being naieve?
