I moved a Pay as you Go Voda to a contract Orange without too much trouble. You need to get the PAC code from your current supplier and give it to the new one. You will also need to get a phone and SIM from the new supplier. You then give them all the details and 28 days later or so it will get moved over.
Can't remember if I needed any "codes" off the old phone to do this, if you do, you may be a bit stuck if you have lost yours!

Ooops - that could have been nasty!!!
When you get the new SIM, see if your provider can set up call divert for you till the port comes through - as I said, the port can take a while.
