  • Hi Nicholjo 

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

    Sorry to hear you're unable to log in to the website. Can you advise what happens when you try? Any error messages? 

    Best wishes.

      Thank you John_GS  Forum Team for your reply. Yes, there were several error messages. Such as:

      when I tried www.virginmedia.com/support/help/contact-us

      Every attempt went (on 05/05/25) to:

      Sorry, something's gone wrong

      As there may be a problem with your device's settings, we aren't able to let it sign in to My Virgin Media for security reasons Try signing in on another device.

      Did not work on phone either initially until after several attempts

      Even earlier today (08/05/25) when I tried the “View this bill” link in the VM email it came up with the following:- “something's gone wrong             We're sorry this isn't the page you wanted.

      It's something at our end, and we‘re working as fast as we can to fix it.

      If you try again later everything will be sorted. Sorry for the inconvenience.  Etc etc “ with various helpful links.

      However later this morning it did start to work again. Via one of those helpful links:-

      My Virgin Media home   =   https://my.virginmedia.com/home/index  

      but it actually went to: https://www.virginmedia.com/myvmo2  with heading Virgin media (NOT Virgin O2) where it says:  Welcome to My Virgin Media. Signin or register to manage your account.

      This time that signin weblink worked (whereas over the previous few days it hadn’t).

      Hurrah! Now I can access my Virginmedia account and view bills etc.

      There seems to be a lot of confusion over VM v VMO2. In Jan 2024 I went through the laborious process/guide to set up VMO2 with, as instructed, a new password. But VMO2 would not accept that new password. I had to go back to using the previous password, which I have used ever since.

      Can you advise if those issues may be linked to the fact that this morning (08/05/25) my Virgin Hub 3 kept cutting out/ losing connection to devices. Annoyingly during my son’s work video calls. I then noticed that the Hub light is glowing red (or pale pink). The Hub is gently warm.

      I see that several other people have been having the same red light issue; as in: https://community.virginmedia.com/discussions/Wireless/permanent-red-light-hub-3/5595367

      The general answer is that it needs a VM Tech visit to repair or replace. Are you able to arrange that please? In Nottingham. Just at the moment I can’t try to reset as my son is online here today with work issues. He is leaving this evening. Should I try to “reset the PIN” tomorrow? How do I find out how to do that?

        Hi Nicholjo 👋 Thanks for getting back to us, and for your thorough response in terms of the error message. 

        Glad to hear the issues with your My VM access have been resolved! 

        Whilst we are partnered, your My VM services and O2 Services do operate separately and so My VM 👉 virg.in/myVM and MyO2 👉 https://accounts.o2.co.uk/signin are separate platforms, with separate logins used for access. 

        In terms of the red light on the Hub - we would indeed recommend completing a pinhole reset on the hub ahead of us completing further testing or arranging an engineer / replacement. You can do this by inserting into the hole marked 'reset' on the back of the hub for 60 seconds. 

        Please let us know how you get on following this, and we can then offer further support. 

        Thanks for your patience in the meantime! 🌞

    Hello Kath P . At about 07:30 yesterday Sunday 11 May Vikki M PM’d (or Direct Messaged ) me on your behalf further to my PM at c 18:31 on Sat 10/05/2025 via community confirming details.

    Yesterday, Sunday 11 May, and today, Mon 12 May, I tried several times to reply. But it won’t send despite repeated attempts at pressing the “Reply” button and after even switching my PC off and on again.

    You are all very efficient but what can I do? I am generally at home today Mon 12.  Nicholjo

    This also wouldn't send, but this time a popup appeared saying "Your post contains invalid HTML". I'll remove the community link and try again.

    No luck. I’ll now remove your enames (replacing by text) and try again. If that works then I’ll go back to community and do the same.  Still did not work. Popup says "remove the following invalid tags: a, sup" but what does that mean??

    Still did not work, but now it has remove a, as an invalid tag, leaving only sup as an invalid tag. I then tried replacing removing superscripts . .

      Thanks for coming back to us Nicholjo. Please can you try to send a new private message instead of a reply and hopefully that should work for you. Please give that a go and let us know if it does work. 

      Kind Regards,
