Order WiFi pod/booster

Hi

Please how do I order my first WiFi pod/booster?

I have done the test on my phone from my bathroom and I got under 10 mbs. 

The app didn't allow me to order one, followed the link and nothing, tried the bot chat and tried WhatsApp and still no reply from yesterday. 

Please can I order one from here?

Many thanks

  • I had to ring them when I had the same issue. The app doesn’t seem to let you order one even though the help pages say you can.

      It really is a bit of a shambles. Try to do something on the virgin website to change your package (where it says you can) them it says you have to chat with someone!

      And I've never ever got through to someone on the chat. Always asks me to do WhatsApp and no one has even looked aty message. Pointless

        Hi diehardest13 

        Welcome to our community forums and thank you for your first post. Sorry to hear you are having issues when trying to contact us to place an order for WiFi pods. To best look into this, we are sending you a private message. Please keep an eye out for an envelope at the top right corner of your Forum page. Let me know if you have any issues locating this.

        Thanks,

  • I have the same issue and am very frustrated that this message board appears to be the last chance to get some help. Utterly bizarre.

      Hey rory88, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear you are struggling to order a WIFI pod.

      Also a very warm welcome to the community.

      Please remember pods are only free if you are 1GB or Volt customer, otherwise they are £8 a month.

      If any of the above relates to you, let us know and if you are happy with that we can order you one.

      Do let us know when you can 🙂

        Hi Matt

        I'm a Volt customer and would also like to order a WIFI Pod. I'm currently having to use my phone as a hotspot as the wifi doesn't appear to connect to my PC upstairs. Please let me know what I need to do

         

        Many Thanks
