Virgin Media and O2 email addresses

Hi all, I signed up for VM broadband last week and have spent the last 5 days trying to link the 2 accounts (I don’t even know what for or why I have to) so I can do my account stuff online. Like many others, it seems, no luck, tried loads of ways of getting it to work, even found a receipt from when I stayed in a Travelodge and used their WiFi (Virgin WiFi) with an old aol email I use sometimes. No luck trying that either. Used all my attempts everyday so far in the hopes that someone might get in touch to tell me off and ask what I’m playing at!

Anyway, my question is do I need it? If my service goes live on August 4th like my welcome email says and I get what I asked for (i.e. broadband - that’s all i want) and my Direct Debit goes out every month what else would i need it for? I’ve got the Head Office postal address so i can communicate or complain via letter, if they want me to know anything they can send me an email (I know it works or I wouldn’t have my contract or the link that started all this nonsense) or a letter or if it’s general not personal, stick it on the front page of their website.

  • Hi Jchnanty,

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the community. 

    We're very sorry to hear about the issue with registering your online account. 

    To confirm, have your services been installed yet?

      Thanks for the reply, Services not live yet (Aug 4th booked) but externals done already. Welcome email says to set it up right now to follow the progress of my order so that’s what I’ve been trying to do. John

        Hey jchanty, thank you for reaching out back out.

        You would need to wait until you are installed and active you cannot make an online until you are installed and the services are active sorry.

  • Same issue with me, my service goes live tomorrow so hoping it will work shortly after that
