You've got two choices:
  1. Buy a new PAYG phone from Virgin Mobile - and get the account changed over to the 300+300 tariff. (Virgin Mobile Support are incredibly helpful)
  2. Get your current phone unlocked. I did with my current Orange phone. I did it quite properly through Orange customer services, and it took about 3-4 weeks for the unlock code to come through. It cost £20, but was worthwhile. It's also possible to have the phone unlocked at some local stores, and it might be cheaper. The other question I have (perhaps someone might confirm), I have the feeling that Vodafone cellphones may not be locked to that particular provider, so you wouldn't need to unlock it?
Coverage by the way is provided on the T-Mobile network. There are a couple of places where I find signal strength not quite as strong as Orange, but it's not much of a problem. I do find that with the 300 minutes rolled forward (meaning I generally start the month with 600 minutes), that I use the cellphone much more.
