They had notified me that the move would happen today, process not
entirely smooth, the website lets me login, but some pages say I am
logged in, other pages say something went wrong, it seems to be sorting
itself piece by piece.

Billing is handled clumsily, £23.46 O2 SIM-only tariff and an ex-virgin
bolt-on with a negative price of £15.25, still £8.21/month not bad for
20GB of data with rollover and unlimited mins/sms.

One good thing, my phone is now provisioned for VoWiFi (and it works)
virgin having previously said it wasn't possible since Pixel5a isn't
sold in the UK.

Oh, and they re-enabled all the emergency alerts.

How? Did they have the phone other than for putting in the O2 sim? I
wonder if they did anything else you haven't yet discovered...

As part of the re-provisioning (via OMACP?) the phone did pop-up a
message saying emergency alerts had been enabled, so I turned them off
again.

"they" didn't have the phone at all, all done without changing the SIM.

So far it's still moaning every few minutes that it can't enable
voicemail (I don't want it enabled anyway).
