3 Mobile - problem

My Dad and Uncle both have "3" mobiles paid for by my uncle (direct debit). The contract started about 4 months ago.

My Uncle has just emigrated to France and has signed up for a French mobile.

Thing is, my Uncle is thinking of cancelling the Direct Debit as he isn't using his mobile. But my Dad's mobile number is very valuable to him - he is self employed. The reason my Uncle is paying for it is that my Dad hasn't got Direct Debit on his Bank Account and hasn't a Credit Card.

Is there anyway to transfer this number to another account or Pay as you Go? Would a Direct Debit cancellation prevent him from transferring his number? And lastly is there a way of having a mobile phone contract without having direct debit or credit card ie monthly bills

Hope someone is 'au fait' with mobile contracts and transfers coz its a minefield of small print and procedure out there..
