I was switched to a SIM only contract today and lost my iphone (12) visual voicemail. I called customer services twice and was told that they couldn't reactivate. I read a similar problem on this forum and tried to explain that they needed to activate iData but they said they couldn't. Please please can someone help. I can't face phoning O2 for a fourth time and for another hour..... *crying*

You can try asking for data for iPhone as it seems some agents only recognise it as that expression.
Asking via private message on one of the social media platforms may also be helpful.

@saizletree Phone customer services and ask for data for iPhones. Without that you won't get things like Visual voicemail.
Following @MI5 advice re social media (see links in their post) is probably the best bet

@saizletree To send @Dave-O2 a message, click on his name. You will then see a button to send a Personal Message to him.

Same problem here. Upgraded my wife to a new SIM-only contract yesterday but neglected to tick the "I have an iPhone" option. She's now lost access to visual voicemail etc and isn't happy! 😬
Have tried to speak to someone online via live chat a few times but got nowhere after several lengthy waits. Is @Dave-O2 or anyone else from O2 able to help please?
