Annual price increase and call centre

Hello,

I am a new customer with virgin media and recently received a letter indicating I'll be subject to the annual price increase. However, your website indicates new customers are exempt until 2025: https://www.virginmedia.com/help/prices

I have tried calling 0345 454 1111 time and time again without being able to get through to a human to discuss this. I've tried multiple options all without success. I've also tried using the chatbot without success. 

Please can someone get back to me to discuss this.

  • I would read your contract as it may well say different…..

    I just signed up at the end of January and it says in the contract about the price rises from April 2024 .

    Hey Laura_VM,

    Every customer will receive an individual price rise specific to them. If you wish to discuss your increase further, you can reach us online (virg.in/contactvm), by calling 150 from your Virgin Media landline, or 0345 454 1111 from any other phone.

      Hi Joe,

       

      I've tried calling the number you listed several times and can't get through to a human. Please can you clarify which options to choose to actually get through to someone?

      Thank you,

      Laura

        Whilst VM doesn't publish an exact date when you signed up should you NOT expect the price increase. You should ask them the question is it the sign up date they count on or the service activation date? That's not clear either. Because I think in your case your sign up date might be before the price increase exemption for this year but your activation date is within the exemption
