Issue of namespace :)
To get your data, use $x->response->resData->children('http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/whapi/ext-contact-2.0')
$x = simplexml_load_string($xml);
// get the list of namespaces
$ns = $x->getNamespaces(true);
var_dump($ns);
/** RETURN:
* array (size=2)
* '' => string 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0' (length=30)
* 'ext-contact' => string 'http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/whapi/ext-contact-2.0' (length=52)
**/
var_dump($x);
/** RETURN:
* only some data, except ext-contract ones
**/
var_dump($x->response->resData->children($ns['ext-contact']));
/** RETURN:
* object(SimpleXMLElement)[5]
* public 'lstData' =>
* object(SimpleXMLElement)[2]
* public 'contact' =>
* object(SimpleXMLElement)[3]
* public 'id' => string '3ec46e4d65ff535a' (length=16)
* public 'name' => string 'John Smith' (length=10)
* public 'org' => string 'domain-name.com' (length=15)
* public 'addr' =>
* object(SimpleXMLElement)[6]
* ...
* public 'email' => string 'email@domain-name.com' (length=21)

Edit: Add my tips:
/**
* Function simplexml_unnamespace
**
* Unnamespace all xml with namespace provided or all list (by default)
**
* @param SimpleXMLElement $xml : SimpleXMLElement to be parsed
* @param SimpleXMLElement|Array|string|null $ns = null: namespaces to be soft deleted
* @param boolean $softDeletion = false : Delete completely the namespace or keep _ns attribute
**
* @author Olivares Georges <http://olivares-georges.net>
**
* Examples:
* simplexml_unnamespace($XML, 'name-space');
* Will remove 'name-space' namespace values
* simplexml_unnamespace($XML, null, true);
* Will remove all namespaces (detected via $XML->getNamespaces(true) and delete them completely
* simplexml_unnamespace($XML->subElt, $XML);
* Will linearize <subElt /> elements, and use $XML to get the list of namescape (xml root element)

How to use it:
// load XML
$initialXML = simplexml_load_string($xml);
echo '<pre>', htmlspecialchars($initialXML->asXml()), '</pre>';
echo '<hr />';
// Unnamespace function examples:
echo '<h2>Unnamespace - initial root - NS = [\'ext-contact\', \'domain\', \'ext-dns\'] - keep NS reference (_ns)</h2>';
$withoutNsXml = simplexml_unnamespace($initialXML, ['ext-contact', 'domain', 'ext-dns'], false);
echo '<pre>', htmlspecialchars($withoutNsXml->asXml()), '</pre>';
echo '<hr />';
echo '<h2>Unnamespace - initial root - all NS - keep NS reference (_ns)</h2>';
$withoutNsXml = simplexml_unnamespace($initialXML /*, null, false*/);
echo '<pre>', htmlspecialchars($withoutNsXml->asXml()), '</pre>';
echo '<hr />';
echo '<h2>Unnamespace - initial root - all NS - remove completely NS reference</h2>';
$withoutNsXml = simplexml_unnamespace($initialXML, null, true);
echo '<pre>', htmlspecialchars($withoutNsXml->asXml()), '</pre>';
echo '<hr />';
echo '<h2>Unnamespace - children node - all NS - remove completely NS reference</h2>';
$withoutNsXml = simplexml_unnamespace($initialXML->command, null, true);
echo '<pre>', htmlspecialchars($withoutNsXml->asXml()), '</pre>';
