New to Virgin and can't manage my package

I joined Virgin with broadband and a tv package nearly 2 weeks ago.

I installed the app and a link to manage my online on my laptop.

Whilst I can see basic details, I  can't manage my tv package. Every time I try, I get taken to the smiley-face and 'Looking for an upgrade?' chat with us now screen.

I've tried getting help vie chat support - but without success...

It's very frustrating.

  • Hi Daynig 

    Welcome to the Community Forums. 

    Sorry to hear you've not been able to manage your TV package through your online. 

    If you've a stream package, then this should be managed through your package. Once you've signed onto your online account, go to; My Package > Stream Selection > Manage my Steam. 

    This should take you to a page that shows your stream plan. 

    Let us know if you're getting errors when following the steps above and where the steps failed, and we can investigate further.  

  • Hi Carley and thanks.

    There's no 'error'

    When I log into my account, via either of 2 browsers, Chrome or Edge, I see boxes with options - My latest bill (estimate since I haven't had one yet), Service status, Your package and account settings. Further down, there's 'you might also like' and a few more options.

    When I select the 'Your package' option, I get a lot more boxes - including Broadband, Mega TV (the package I signed up for), Landline, Mobile, Volt (not active) and My Flex Plan (which I DO have).

    When I select the Manage button under My Flex Plan, I get the page saying 'Looking for an upgrade' (with the smiley face) and the 'Chat to us now' button - which does nothing.

    So I then try the App, which presents similar options - all of which present me with only that 'Looking for an upgrade?' page!

    Nowhere do I get the option to see the components of the package I have, let alone make any changes. I know that this isn't right as every where I read, I should be able to manage my package by adding and removing options myself.

    Something isn't working.

    I HAVE deleted my cache and cookies on both browsers - and it makes zero difference.

    Please help!

    So far no news on a resolution.

    I won't hold my breath...
