Apple not bringing iPhone Visual Voicemail to O2 Ireland

The iPhone is coming to Ireland, great news for O2 (NYSE: TEF) customers. Or is it?
O2 has confirmed that it has partnered with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) and will be offering the iPhone come March 14th. However, the unlimited data package and Visual Voicemail system that US iPhone users are used to won’t be making their way to Ireland. Instead, O2 Customer in Ireland that snatch up an iPhone will be limited to just 1GB of monthly data usage (that is unless you want to pay exorbitant overage fees), and will have to pony up 15 cents per minute to check messages.
Would you buy an iPhone if it didn’t have Visual Voicemail or unlimited data?

Whats the point in having the phone then????
Ciao,
the Visual Voicemail is an Operator/Carrier capability.

The real question is “Will the Irish people buy a phone that’s priced so stupidly that it’s even worse than it is in the UK especially when it doesn’t have all the features of the UK version?”
Or “would you be able to use 1GB of data using EDGE in the UK?
