My Virgin Media App not showing correct details

I took out a new contract in October but the my Virgin media app is not showing my correct package details. In fact it’s not showing anything assigned to me at all. The service status also just shows a time. 
When I log in online my package details are fine. It is just wrong on the app. I have even tried it on another mobile phone and it still shows wrong details. 
I did try to get assistance from Virgin Media support but the recommended solution is to always remove / reinstall the app but this never works. The issue is not with my phone. 
Something was raised with Virgin media IT but I never heard anything back and gave up.

    I’ve had no further updates on this. Last I heard it was still with their IT. This was months ago.

      Hey singlesmart, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

      When you say showing the wrong package, what is showing / not showing?

      Does it not show what you are currently subscribed to?

        Hi. I’ve messaged one of your colleagues who messaged me direct last time. I’m  not explaining everything again on this forum. Nothing has changed as per the original screenshot when I started this forum post. Thanks!

      Same here. Something tells me it’s fallen into a black hole. I mean how long should it take.

      Hi pmadd78,

      Thanks for posting, and sorry to hear you're also having some issues with your My Virgin Media app. 

      Can you confirm if you're uninstalled/ reinstalled it?

        Thanks for looking into my case I raised earlier - I look forward to a response to the internal call you raised. However, I would have thought that by now support could recognise that there is a widespread issue here with a number of people such as pmadd78 having the same issue, and reinstalling the app or clearing the cache does not help.  Everyone has already confirmed that. 

        It smacks of a software/data error. I'm a software engineer involved in customer support! And no - we don't tell them to reinstall as the first resolution (although to be fair, it often does come down to that 😀). But when a number of people contact us with the same symptoms then we recognise there is an underlying issue. 

        Here are some pointers which your software team might find useful.

        1.  'View Contract' no longer shows a current contract - it still has the old one. 
        2. On the billing screen it tells me my discounts have ended. It doesn't seem to recognise I have got new ones. 
        3. O2 have not yet acknowledged that my new Sim is entitled to Volt benefits. That is despite me taking out a new O2 contract (I previously had one as part of a VM Volt package which expired at the same time) but whilst telling me I'm not entitled to Volt, they have given me double data. And yes - it is over 14 days.

        By any chance do you run an internal accounting system in parallel with the customer visible one, and the two have got out of synch? There is certainly something whacky going on.

    I have exactly the same. After renewing my contract the services are visible on the web but there is nothing in the App.

      Hi Impith,

      Thanks for posting, and sorry to see your app hasn't updated.

      Can you confirm if you've uninstalled and re-installed the app?

        Yes, removed and reinstalled - deleted data, deleted cache. 

        I thought I would go one step further so I installed the app on my tablet where it has not previously been installed. Exactly the same result, no services visible. That is a fresh install on a fresh device. 

        With the number of similar reports where I think the common factor is the customer has just recontracted before the error occurs, it really shouldn't be hard for your software guys to track this bug down.  For a bug in your app (or at least, in the data being provided to your app) it certainly is!

    No mine is the same since October I have a ticket logged with IT and was advised they are aware of this issue.  It is defined the app as it works fine when I log into the website.

      Cheers for the reply. I'll watch out for a fix in the next year or 3 ha ha

    did anyone manage to find a fix for this? I renewed my package recently and the "My virgin Media" app is not showing any of the details it used to. i.e service status etc

      Nope still not fixed. My issue is still open with their IT department and has been for many many months now. Their workaround is to log on via a web browser. 😂

        Yes, I logged in via a web browser this morning and all seems to be working. Surely this indicates an issue with the app. Everything was working fine until i renewed then it all went t!ts up.

  • Hi Anonymous 👋

    Welcome to our Community Forums and thanks for your post. 

    I am sorry to hear that your app is not showing the correct details.

    So we can assist further, could you advise what it is showing exactly?

    Hope to hear from you soon 😊

      I attached a screenshot to original post above. None of the package details are green as they should be and when I click on TV for example it asks if I want to upgrade. It should show my correct package details (as it used to). 

      Also when I click on service status it does not show a service status for phone, tv or broadband in my area (as it should) It just shows a time. Other people on community have posted same issue I see so I’m not alone with this.

        Aah thanks! It wasn't showing at the time but I can see the image has been approved now.

        What version of the app are you using?
