Tuning in

Does Live chat work? Have been a Virgin customer for only three months but each time I try to use Live chat during working hours it's never available. Does it really exist?

Yeah it's sadly overused and understaffed, with odds on people asking questions that could be found easily with Google search

Thanks for your reply. Live chat seems to work well with many other companies but I get the understaffed bit!

Same problem here. Never works at any time. Sorry, the team are currently unavailable, please try again during our opening times.

I do not think so. I keep trying but no use.

My landline is down and I need it for hospital appointments for my wife. Even more amusing in the help section it says dial 150 for help. No use if the line is bust.

Sometimes, can you get anything done, no, they don't listen and only care about upselling or trying to entice you to stay !

On our wavelength

I have the same trouble - no live chat no matter what time of the day I try it.  Then of course the alternative is to use the 150 number or use a mobile.  It phone is not working and mobiles are restricted then what are we supposed to do?!!

Our phone line was accidentally chopped into a couple of months ago and despite it being repaired three times now it still doesn't work and more worryingly it seems to have a life of its own and is making phone calls to numbers we have no idea about as people are phoning saying they are returning our call!!  So some immediate chat help would have been gratefully appreciated (before it decides to call numbers randomly across the world!!).  

I know Virgin like everyone else is understaffed but chat is such a useful tool and it also provides a way of recording a conversation for those of us who are forgetful! Please Virgin could you make it more available.
