Hi @cla - If you live in a new property and your address or postcode is not recognised, Royal Mail may not have activated your postcode. To activate your postcode, you need to contact Royal Mail directly on 08456 011110 or via their website.

In your case, it appears your address is known differently in VM than in O2's database - I'll tag one of the O2 account advisors on the forum, @O2Lisa should be on around 8am, perhaps she can get your details amended (it does happen, from time to time, @Martin-O2, the Forum manager and I have queried such address mismatches, and guidance from O2 was unavailable at that time. Also the daily advisor rota needs updated for today and tomorrow, @Martin-O2 - if it is not Lisa from 8am today, please advise accordingly, thanks!)

Keep an eye out for a message from Lisa around 8am. Good luck.

Thanks, @O2Lisa - hope there was something you could do to help @cla with this "Compu'er says No!" situation, a real Catch-22!

My address was slightly different. Managed to change the O2 one via My O2 to reflect Virgin

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
