One account, 2 people

I was an old NTL customer and the account is in my name. When my partner moved in about 20 years and 3 houses ago, he took over the payment, but account is still in my name, his email address. He can't authorise changes as he isn't the account holder and I can't sign up to O2 priority or do anything with the account as it is not my email. We've tried at various points over the years to sort but no-one seems to know how. There must be plenty of people in same situation. How can we add his name and my email too?

      Hello karenjones

       

      Sorry to hear of the issues setting up a priority account due to the email on the account, we appreciate you taking the time to raise this via the forums.

       

      You’ll need a Virgin Media O2 ID to manage Virgin Media services online. It replaces signing in to sites like My Virgin Media or My O2 with two different sets of sign in credentials.

       

      This way you’ll only need to remember one set of signing credentials to access all your Virgin Media and O2 services. Our Virgin Media O2 ID is backed by the latest security methods, like passkeys, making your online experience safer and more secure.

       

      When you sign in to the Virgin Media and O2 online spaces with your Virgin Media O2 ID, you’ll be able to access all our other apps and spaces on the same device. A Virgin Media O2 ID replaces the need to create separate sign in details for Virgin Media and O2 online spaces.

       

      If you have a My Virgin Media or My O2 account and haven’t set up your Virgin Media O2 ID yet, when you sign in to these spaces, just enter the email address you’d usually use to sign in. We’ll then ask you to create your new ID.

       

      Otherwise, head to any of our sites and tap Register to sign up and create your Virgin Media O2 ID. If you have an O2 SIM you can also use the details to create a Priority account.

        Thanks, but that won't work. It is in my partner's email address and my name. As the bill payer, he wants access to this. We want to link 2 emails to one account. I've got a VMO2 ID, did it yesterday, lets me enter all details, but email doesn't match.

      No, that is my partner's email and he wants access too as the bill payer. Want 2 emails linked to 1 account at same address.

        Hello Karenjones. Sadly it would not be possible to link 2 emails to one account and view all the same information as the primary user.
