Setting up my account and tracking order

I placed an order four days ago for quick start broadband installation but I think it may have went through twice as the first time I tried I got an error page so did it again but have had two order emails.

The next day I then received an email saying there was already an account holder at the address. I am unsure if this is because I have accidentally placed two orders and I am the other account holder or whether it is a previous tenant of the address. 

There is a number to call on the email, however, you need to have your account number to do so. I have not received my account nunber on any email, it is not on the contract summary sheet and it has been over 48-72 hours which is the time I was quoted to wait. 

Please can someone advise what to do as I seem to be stuck at the minute and would like to know whether my broadband box is still on the way (it was estimated to be delivered today but have had no confirmation of this). 

Thanks.

  • Hi Em55,

    You should call the pre-installs team on 0800 052 1734 and ask them what's happening.  They don't  need your account number, they can check via address and postcode.

    They are open  8:00am to 9:00pm  Monday to Friday, and 8:00am to 6:00pm Saturday and Sunday

      Sounds like it will be best to wait for a VM Mod to pick this up and discuss directly with you.

    As this is a Community Forum, and not a direct line to VM as such, it will take a day or two for a VM Mod to pick this up.  If you need is urgent, it would be best to phone Customer Services directly.

     📞Call: 150 (free of charge) from a Virgin Media landline or 0345 454 1111 from any other phone, 📲WhatsApp: 07803089684, 💻Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/virginmedia 🐤Twitter: https://twitter.com/virginmedia

      Thank you. I have tried contacting them via the online chat service and also WhatsApp but I’m having no luck in getting a solution. They keep asking me to log in to my account when I have made it clear that part of the issue is that I don’t yet have an account number to create an account with. 

      I also sadly can’t call and speak to someone on the phone because you also seem to need your account number to do this. Finding it very frustrating!
