Broadband change in april to partners name

My contract expires in April 2024 and I will not be renewing as I will be leaving the property. My wife will be staying at the property and I would like her to have her own account with virgin. Can this be done and can she look to start the change prior to my contract expiry date. Can I monitor my oldemail address for a period as she would need a new one?

 

Help appreciated, thank you.

  • Hi Mikesue126 

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

    You'll need to give thirty days notice to cancel and the process is the new account holder would need to go three months no service before being eligible to be a new customer. 

    In relation to your email, I'd advise migrating everything over to a new email asap, as it should only stay active for a period of 90 days.

      Where does it state I have to give 30 days notice when my contract expires? Why does a non customer have to wait 90 days to take out a contract with you?
