I found the migration process from Orange pretty simple. Just to make sure I had no problem, I kept the two accounts (Virgin Mobile & Orange) running in tandem. There was another reason - I was going overseas, and I don't think Virgin Mobile allow roaming in the first three months. Anyhow, Orange took about six weeks to come back with the unlock code. I then asked for a Port Authorisation Code, and called Virgin with that. They ported the number and that effectively terminates the Orange account. It was quite hassle free (apart from the wait for the unlock code I guess). I could probably have had the phone unlocked from a small phone store near work, but a) I hadn't seen the notice in the store window about unlocking phones, and b) I didn't want to end up with a bricked phone, and preferred to do it through Orange.
I'm using my phone more than when I was on Orange, but still manage to start each month off with 600 minutes and 600 text messages. (Yes, both are rolled over at the start of the month - but you can never have more than 600).
