using iPhone on non iPhone tariff

[Anonymous]

Hi. I've searched forum already but would appreciate if someone gave me clear answer please. I got 2 pay monthly contracts, first is iPhone 6 with iPhone tariff, second Xperia z3 with non iPhone tariff. If I was to use another iPhone 6 on my non iPhone tariff would that still work ok? I understand I would have to change all settings to connect to Internet on iPhone but I was reading about not being able to.use some services?

Thank you for answering, Greg.

Yes, you can.
All you need to do is ask CS to put the account onto iData (which takes 24 hours to change over) and all iPhone services will then work OK too.

From memory of what some more knowledgeable members have told others, the iPhones have a slightly different set up on the o2 network - namely they have an iData bolt on that other phones don't need.
I believe this will affect your ability to access the web and/or other data services (such as MMS).

Edit - see ^^^

Web broswing now works on iPhones with non-iData tariffs, but as you folks have mentioned it would be best to get LiveChat/CS to transfer iPhone accounts to the iData tariff for full compatability with visual voicemal etc.

But is it changing to idata just changing tariff completely? Or wud tariff be still sorta non iPhone one just with different bolt on???

Data will work whether idata or standard data but you need to change APNs if you are on the wrong data bolt on. It's not a tariff change, merely a change of bolt on and the cost remains the same. However, on standard data you cannot access video voice mail. Change to idata by calling customer service.
