I've been in an O2 shop FIVE times, multiple phone calls to 202 (a lot of the time they put the phone down on you), had a physical SIM sent to me, had two Samsung ESIMs setup on my account - no one at O2 knows what they are doing. I’ve unpaired the Apple Watch, restored from back up, set up as a new watch, multiple times, nothing has worked. I've had a ticket (O2 technical person) call back - which took a week, only to be told that they would call me back later at 6.30pm, then I never heard from them again. The last time I went into an O2 Shop, I was also on the phone to 202, I was told (by 202) to tell the shop adviser that they had to call the O2 helpline. The helpline told the shop adviser that they will wipe my Apple watch data off my account and email/text me 48 hours later to set up my Apple watch again. Of course nothing happened. It's now been nearly 4 weeks and I am still unable to use my Apple watch cell data. Does anyone know how to fix an Error code 08???

Reference code 8.

It is covered in the Activate Apple Watch Guide - and this stipulates that the Social Media Team is called to help with the error code, @PPPRRROO - that means a DM on X (Twitter) or FB messenger as mentio ed in Guide: How to find help & contact O2 - be persistent, nudge periodically, and pick either X or FB Messenger and stick with it. Good luck!
