Unable to register

As many other posts have stated...when trying to register I get stuck on a "Request In Progress" screen after entering my intended password. 

Does anyone know if I have to wait for my services to be installed/activated?

The welcome mail indicates I should register now so that I can my order etc

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. 

    Apologies for the online account creation issue but thanks for letting us know what's happening.

    I'll send you a PM and hopefully sort this out.

    John_GS tried to help but was having the same problems and advised me to wait until my services were activated. My broadband was installed yesterday but I am still having the same issues when trying to register for an account. Can you escalate it to your IT please?

      Hi bs6mjb, 

      Thanks for coming back to us in the Community. 

      I can see you've already sent a private message to my colleague who was originally helping you to resolve this. 

      We'll leave this with them to avoid multiple agents working on the same thing 🙂 They will be in touch with you when back on shift.

      Thanks,

    Once my services had been activated I was able to register after 48 hours. Virgin need to get their automated emails fixed and not ask customers to setup an account to track their order if they can't actually do it until after the order is complete!

      Hi bs6mjb 

      Thanks for joining us on PM. 

      Glad to hear this was sorted but apologies for the initial online account setup. You should be able to set up this before receiving the equipment but on occasion this can happen.

      Please do pop back to the community if you need further help.
